Los Angeles, CA – For a former owner of the quirky-but-fun Nissan NX2000 coupe, the resurrection of the Nissan Sentra SE-R of the 1990s in the form of the 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo was exciting news. Even Nissan’s family-friendly Rogue three-row compact crossover offers a flat-bottomed steering wheel. A Rogue. But wait, no more power tha

In last year’s comparison test of 11 compact cars , we concluded that the Nissan Sentra is not particularly exciting to drive or stylish to look at but does offer above-average value-for-money, fuel economy, roominess, trunk space and passenger comfort.   And though we didn’t like the performance of the 2013 Sentra’s optional continuously variable

The small car market is a voracious one. It is the largest sales segment in Canada and the best represented in the overall sales charts. Four of the top 10 selling vehicles so far in 2014 are compact cars, the rest: pickups (four), the Dodge Caravan and the Ford Escape.

Article updated with pricing information. Born of a 1990s passion for proving that small cars could be quick too, the Nissan Sentra SE-R and the even-hotter SE-R Spec V that followed, gained a cult following in the world of high-performance tuning thanks to their robust four-cylinder powerplants and affordable pricing. Although ceding the hot i

The 2016 Nissan Sentra is here, and it is the next model to get the “new face of Nissan” – V-Motion grille, boomerang headlights other touches here and there – which is good as the last car was getting a little long in the tooth. Touchscreens are all the rage these days, but it’s frustrating (and potentially dangerous) to have to spend prec

Folks: we need to start this review of the feisty little 2018 Nissan Sentra Nismo with a little context about what this car is, and what it is not. An ideal setup for a driver who wants a sporty sedan that rides really, really well. After all, some confusion is possible. The Sentra Nismo isn’t the first hopped-up Sentra in existence,

Introduced in late 2016 for the 2017 model year, Nissan’s Sentra SR Turbo is simple enough in concept: take a reasonably powerful turbocharged engine and stuff it under the hood of an otherwise staid, practical and inexpensive compact sedan. Give the car bigger brakes to match the increased power, tweak the suspension a little to improve the hand

Well, it was bound to happen; fresh on the heels of a refreshed Altima sedan, Nissan’s next top-selling car, the Sentra compact, is getting a once over. So that means the Sentra will be getting the new face of Nissan, punctuated by the “V” grille and boomerang headlights, which can be specified with LED low-beams on the SR and SL trims. At t

The new model gets a 1.6L four-cylinder that is direct-injected and turbocharged to produce 188 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. That's a big boost from the 130 hp of the 1.8L four in other Sentra models. The new engine can also be paired to a six-

Day 1 The most popular segment in Canada is growing all the time. Not really in terms of cars available, but the actual sizes of cars labelled "compact".

SANTA MONICA, CA. While SUVs and crossovers continue to be the hot sellers in the automotive realm, small cars remain an important segment, particularly for Canadian car buyers. So far this year, the new Civic, Corolla, Elantra, and Mazda3 have shown up in more than 160,000 Canadian driveways, yet Nissan’s Sentra adds fewer than 7,500 to that ta

At this precise juncture, revealing a redesigned front-wheel-drive compact sedan probably feels a little bit like shouting into the abyss. But product cycles being as they are, now is the time for the world to meet the new 2020 Nissan Sentra. Compact sedans may not excite the Canadian car-buying public these days as much as all-wheel-drive, high
