Nissan Sentra Expert Review

Nissan Sentra is a mid-sized compact sedan, which is mainly popular in UAE because of being a feature-loaded offering within an affordable price range. It has been under production since 1982, but after the 2013 update, it has been sold as the rebadged version of the Nissan Sylphy. The Sentra has been a very familiar car in many parts of the world.

 

The impressive sales number of the car in the UAE market has urged the manufacturer to come up with minor updates from time to time in order to keep up the freshness of the car. The 2018 Nissan Sentra flaunts more of a contemporary look with subtle design tweaks. The design is somewhat aerodynamic, which reduces the air friction and improves fuel efficiency. Loaded with NissanConnect, it stands true to the company’s claim of being a modern sedan.

Interior

The Sentra sedan brings to you one of the best cabins from the house of Nissan, which is not only spacious but also equips a wide range of features to provide comfort and convenience that tends to offer you a great riding experience.

The whole interior of the car is finished with soft-touch materials along with leather-wrapped seats that together offer a delightful cabin. The seats are comfortable enough to allow five adults to sit quite comfortably, as the legroom and knee-room are quite praiseworthy for the car. More to these, the car gets a spacious boot space with a capacity of 510 liters.

The NissanConnect system adds to the convenience of the driver, as it brings almost everything at your fingertip, from social media to handling various apps and from streaming audio to Google navigation. To operate it, there is a touchscreen infotainment system equipped on the dashboard, which can seamlessly connect to your smartphone as well.

The steering wheel of the car is mounted with the cruise control buttons that aids to keep track of the road. The additional convenience features include the start/stop button, intelligent key and a smart rear viewing mirror that automatically tilts to offer an enhanced viewing experience.

Exterior

The 2018 Nissan Sentra is a classy looking compact sedan, which gets minimal changes in styling over the 2013 model. However, the changes are decent enough to add some extra perks. It offers a sculpted body with graceful lines and attractive curves.

Dimensionally, the four-door sedan manages to retain its body structure and muscular stance. It is 4,615 mm long, 1,760 mm wide, 1,495 mm tall and the wheelbase of the car is 2,700 mm.

The refined design of the new Sentra is slightly aerodynamic, which improves the fuel-efficiency of the car. At the front, it gets the brighter and clear Xenon headlamps, unlike the traditional bulb headlamps that are outdated now and bring dullness to the design. The Xenon headlamps enhance the visibility, thus offering a safer riding experience during the night. It also flaunts daytime running LEDs that add to the mature styling of the car. No surprises, that the tail-lights are LED too.

Engine & Fuel Consumption

The Nissan Sentra is available in three different variants, namely Sentra 1.6 S, Sentra 1.6 S+AW and Sentra 1.8 S+AW. The first two variants feature a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a manual transmission option. Whereas, the top-notch variant gets the 1.8-litre petrol unit that comes paired with the XTRONIC CVT gearbox. The option of CVT in the top-notch trim aids to smooth change of gear with minimal changes in input throttle, thereby, eliminating the need for gear hunting.

The first two variants, 1.6 S and 1.6 S+AW, are powered by the 1598cc, four-cylinder DOHC, twin CVTC engine that produces a maximum power of 113 bhp and a peak torque of 154 Nm, while the top-end trim, Sentra 1.8 S+AW is driven by a 1798cc, four-cylinder DOHC engine, which manages to develop the highest power of 130 bhp and a peak torque of 174 Nm.

In terms of mileage, the 1.6-litre unit and 1.8-litre unit consumes 6.1-litre and 6.9-litre of fuel for every 100 km respectively. The lightweight engine, aerodynamic design and the introduction of Eco pedal indicator optimize the performance to deliver a high fuel efficiency.

 

Braking & Safety

Nissan has used its new safety shield philosophy to provide the Sentra with all the essential safety kits, which not only protects you during any sort of mishap but also guides you through your way smoothly.

Safety of the occupants has been taken seriously by the manufacturer, as it has provided six airbags for the safety of driver as well as passengers during any type of secondary collision to provide cushioning from all sides. It also packs ISOFIX, which acts as the child seat anchors to keep your kids fully safe during the drive, right from the low-end variant.

Besides the disc brakes on the wheels, the braking system of the car offers anti-lock braking system (ABS) that helps to control the braking of the car quite effectively in tough situations. More to it, the car also packs Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) that sends the extra braking force to the rear wheels when there is a requirement by sensing it automatically.

The car packs the features like anti-theft alarm and rear parking camera for additional safety. It also gets a Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) that aids to drive the car in your intended path.

  • The best in the class and value for money

    Spent over 2 years to choose the best in the class SENTRA 1.8S in comparison with corolla, civic and other crossovers. Spacious everywhere, attractive exterior and interior, economical price tag, decent ground clearance. Sporty look and feel, alloy wheels, 10 inch infotainment screen, cruise and media controls, LED lights etc. Never disappointed so far on anything.

  • attractive sedan

    Nissan Sentra is a fabulous looking sedan that comes with amazing interiors and class-leading boot space. The performance from the 1598cc, four-cylinder DOHC, twin CVTC engine is mind-blowing. I did not expect this engine to return such good numbers when it comes to the fuel economy of Sentra. I am very impressed with the XTRONIC CVT gearbox, which offers smooth shifts in every rev range. The infotainment system is super smooth and is quite easy to browse through different options. I wish the carmaker provided a diesel powertrain for people like me who wants better fuel economy.

  • old wine is running fine

    My search for a practical sedan for my family ended with the Nissan Sentra a year ago. Till now, the sedan has been serving me hassle free. The car looks a decade old as far as styling is concerned, but then, it is pretty good when it comes to space and comfort within. However, while many people around might complain about the dated feel of Nissan Sentra, practically it comes with all the essential features which are actually usable for a common man like me who is not completely into gadgets and fancy creature comforts. Apart from interior cabin space, the Nissan Sentra has another strong point which makes jt a very practical car, and that is the fact all the controls are in a very easy reach, making them very ergonomically placed. And compared to other cars, it is light on pocket thanks to affordable and easily available spares.

  • Dated sedan, but with a class of its own

    Nissan Sentra has been in my possession for a few years now and I must say that this executive sedan has still maintained its charm over people in the market. Even though it gets an outdated design, the performance and comfort offered by the Sentra is very commendable. Though there are many good-looking sedans in this world than Sentra, this compact sedan surpasses them in terms of cabin comfort and performance. The cabin of the Sentra is literally one of the best in the segment and is loaded with features that ensure an enjoyable and comfortable drive. The Sentra is powered by a 1.6-litre engine that delivers a soothing and economical performance which enables me to drive this sedan on an everyday basis. Nissan has packed this sedan with a decent number of safety features like 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Vehicle Dynamic Control and rear parking camera which comes in handy while parking in tight spaces.

  • An enjoyable ride

    If I had to describe the Sentra in one word, I would say it is fun! I have been driving around my reliable Honda Civic for the last 10 years and making a shift was truly a very difficult task for me! After brainstorming for days altogether, I finally settled for the Nissan Sentra and I was sold at the first look of this car! I bought the Midnight Edition, which is basically an appearance and comfort upgrade but the other amenities are standard to the SR trim. Sentra is known for having excellent safety features such as a back-up camera and emergency braking, an Eco mode to save gas and a Sport mode when you want the enhanced performance. The handling of this car is great owing to its tight turning radius and the smaller steering wheel which is incredibly easy to handle. The interior seating is comfortable and sleek with plenty of legroom. I haven’t faced any issues with its infotainment either and I feel that one cannot go wrong with the Nissan Sentra!

  • The safety features are fantastic

    I haven’t upgraded my car for many years now and it was almost 10 years ago when I purchased my last car, Honda City which is one of the most reliable and highly rated cars in the market. So, I was extremely cautious when I was looking to make a change but when I took the Nissan Sentra for a test ride, I knew my decision was made. I bought the Midnight edition which has an absolutely snazzy exterior but other amenities are similar to the other models. I absolutely love the black accents and the heated seats so I decided to spend a few extra bucks on these features. The safety features are fantastic and there is a back-up camera and emergency braking both. You can drive the car in two modes, Eco mode to save gas and a sporty mode for when you want enhanced performance. The Sentra has crazy acceleration and it leaps when in sport mode. The interior is comfortable with plenty of legroom and there is no reason why I wouldn't recommend this car to someone else.

  • Nissan Sentra avarage car

    To be honest, I bought this car because I was on a budget and wanted something which the entire family will fit in. The Nissan Sentra hasn’t disappointed me and it has left me content. Not only is it roomy but it also suited for utility. I have a small grocery store. While I couldn’t afford the pick-up truck, the Sentra does fine. Its rear seat folds and helps me with bringing in bigger cargo without worrying. The mileage I get out of it is just a bonus. It hovers around 19kmpl, giving me less chance of going to a fuel pump that often. I plan to keep this car for another 7 years before upgrading to the new generation of the Nissan Sentra.

  • All the car you want

    We got the Nissan Sentra in 2017. We had to choose between this or the Honda Civic and frankly I did not like the direction that Honda had taken the Civic’s styling. The Nissan however still looks like something an adult would buy. We got the automatic with the 1.8 liter engine. The engine performance is great and it also gives great mileage. The best part however is the space inside. This car is best enjoyed from the rear seat. There is enough legroom and headroom for someone as tall as me. The suspension is equally comfortable and goes well with the handling. The quality of the interior is also very plush with some nice features for the price. Coming to price, it never felt that we were having to compromise. The only gripe being the slow automatic transmission and the small screen in the infotainment system. But for the price it is exceptionally good.
