What's New for the 2018 Nissan Sentra?

The 2018 Nissan Sentra is the most recent vehicle to be released by Nissan and their latest Sentra model vehicle. The new Sentra is a rather standard sedan vehicle that has many of the same qualities as almost any other sedan. It has been given some minor changes from last year's model, such as the addition of automatic emergency braking being a standard on almost all of the trim levels. Aside from this, the 2018 Sentra is pretty much unchanged.

Trim Differences

The 2018 Sentra has its own set of trim levels complete with their own features made to their needs. The Sentra has six different trim levels: the S, SV, SR, SR Turbo, Nismo and SL. The S trim level is the base model and has 16-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, remote keyless entry and access to BlueTooth audio connectivity. The SV trim is an upgraded version with 16-inch alloy wheels, a steering wheel wrapped in leather and dual-zone automatic climate control. The SR trim level has 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with low beams, adaptive cruise control and heated front seats. The SR Turbo model is more upgraded with a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission, improved steering and upgraded front brakes and a sunroof to match. The Nismo trim has many features that the Turbo does, but also 18-inch wheels, a specially branded grille and badges and NissanConnect services. The SL is the most advanced trim with leather upholstery on the interior, a six-way power driver seat, a moonroof and an eight-speaker Bose audio system.

Engine, Transmission & MPG Specs

The 2018 Nissan Sentra is fitted with an engine that is properly accustomed to deal with its strength and endurance. The Nissan Sentra engine sits at a 124 horsepower rating at up to 6,000 wheel rotations per minute and can produce up to 125 feet per pounds of torque. In addition to this, the engine also contains inline 4 cylinders that operate on variable valve timing with a front wheel drive train to match everything else. The fuel economy is fairly standard, running on a combined 32 miles per gallon, getting up to 29 MPGs when driving through the city and 37 MPGs when on the highway. The Sentra also runs on regular unleaded fuel, though the SR Turbo trim can operate with premium unleaded fuel.

Safety & Reliability

The Nissan Sentra, being a new vehicle, is also outfitted to be a much safer vehicle that previous models have shown. Safety is always a major concern when trying out new vehicles, so the new Sentra has some pretty basic features first, such as protections for younger passengers with the implementation of child seating anchors and rear door safety locks. The vehicle also has much improved stability and traction control, as well as emergency braking assist in the event of failing brakes. A pre-collision safety system is included in order to help avoid car accidents, but this goes further with an engine immobilizer being available and a tire pressure monitoring system. To top it all off, the car has special dusk-sensing headlights that can adjust to whatever time of day it is.
