Why it stands out

The 2016 Nissan Sentra stands out as part of the seventh-generation redesign, which made the car more practical than before with a more spacious interior and a more fuel-efficient powertrain. It was also 68 kilograms lighter than the outgoing model, and Nissan paired the 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine with either a six-speed manual transmission on S and SV models or a revised CVT on the rest of the lineup. For buyers looking for an affordable compact sedan, that combination of added space, lower weight, and improved efficiency is a big part of the Sentra’s appeal.

For 2016, the Sentra also received a refresh that gave it Nissan’s V-motion grille, helping the car look more modern. The model was offered in S, SV, SR, and SL trim levels, so there was a fairly broad spread of choices within the same basic package. Its main drawback is that the seventh-generation Sentra is associated with CVT concerns, which can mean expensive repairs, so a careful test drive matters.
