Affordable sedans are becoming increasingly rare, but the Nissan Sentra continues to chug along. The model heads into 2025 with minor changes as well as slightly higher price tags. Starting with the latter, the 2025 Sentra begins at US$ 21,590. That’s a slight increase over its predecessor, which began at US$ 21,180. While the price of the entry-level S variant climbs US$ 410, the mid-level SV is only up US$ 180. The range-topping SR, on the other hand, receives a US$ 320 price hike. Nissan didn’t have much to say about the car, but highlighted a new maintenance care program. It provides customers with up to three complimentary oil changes within the first two years or 24,000 miles (38,624 km) of ownership. The only other change appears to be a NissanConnect Services package on the SV. It costs US$ 200 and adds app connectivity as well as access to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
While that’s not much to get excited
about, neither is the entry-level Sentra S. It features halogen headlights as
well as 16-inch steel wheels with stylized covers. Buyers will also find a
4.2-inch multi-information display, a 7-inch infotainment system, and a
four-speaker audio system. They’re joined by air conditioning as well as power
windows and locks.
Despite being fairly basic, the model
comes with a host of driver assistance systems including Intelligent Cruise
Control, High Beam Assist, and Blind Spot Warning. Other highlights include
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Cross Traffic
Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, and Lane Departure Warning. Higher-end variants
are far more luxurious and the range-topping SR sports LED lighting units as
well as 18-inch alloy wheels. They’re joined by heated front seats, a
six-speaker audio system, a larger 8-inch infotainment system, and a 7-inch
cluster display.
All Sentras have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine that develops 149 hp and 198 Nm of torque.
It’s connected to an Xtronic continuously variable transmission, which sends
power to the front wheels.
