Nissan
has released pricing information of its best-selling car in the States, the
Sentra, that has been completely redesigned for the 2020MY. The compact sedan that will arrive in
dealerships in a little over a month, on January 28, will offer three trim
levels named S, SV and SR, with MSRPs starting at US$ 19,090, US$ 20,270 and US$ 21,430,
respectively, excluding a US$ 925 destination and handling fee.
By
comparison, the outgoing Sentra S will set you back US$ 17,990, whereas the SV and
SR cost US$ 19,290 and US$ 20,790, respectively. The 2019MY is also available in the
SR Turbo, SL and Nismo versions, so the new Sentra’s lineup will likely expand
in the near future.

and details of each grade will be announced in due course, but the Nissan
Safety Shield 360 suite of driver safety systems is standard across the range.
This includes the Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane
Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Automatic
Braking and High Beam Assist, joined by the Intelligent Driver Alertness and
Rear Door Alert.
The
2020 Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 149
