A prototype of the 2023 Nissan Sentra has been spied testing for the very first time. This prototype was snapped by Nick in the midst of testing in Arizona and the presence of a camouflage wrap across the front and rear bumpers, as well as black tape over the rear badges, indicates where most of the changes will be applied. Evidently, alterations made to the 2023 Sentra will be minor and only some tweaks to the front and rear bumpers are expected. The front grille will also be slightly altered to look more similar to the grille of the 2023 Altima.
While we don’t yet have any spy images
that showcase the cabin of the new Sentra, it is safe to assume that it too
will benefit from some updates, although they may be limited to some trim
changes and possibly a reshuffling of standard options across the available
models.
No mechanical modifications are likely,
meaning the 2023 Nissan Sentra should retain the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine as the 2022 model, pumping out a total of 149 hp and 198 Nm of torque coupled to an Xtronic transmission driving the front wheels.
Interestingly, Nick notes that this Sentra prototype had an automatic
start-stop function.
We expect the 2023 Sentra range to remain largely
the same as the current model, meaning the entry-level model will be dubbed the
S, the mid-range tier will be the SV, and the flagship model will be the SR.
Prices for the 2022 model start at US$ 19,510, increase to US$ 20,570 for the SV, and
top out at US$ 22,100 for the SR.
