Why it stands out

The 2017 Nissan Sentra stands out as part of the seventh-generation redesign that 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, which helped reinforce its efficiency-focused character. Under the bonnet, it used a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine rather than the previous 2.0-litre unit, and output was 130 hp. Depending on trim, buyers could get a six-speed manual transmission or a revised CVT, giving the Sentra a straightforward compact-car formula with a bit of flexibility.

What makes the 2017 model especially appealing is the way it balances everyday usability with a more polished feel than earlier Sentras. The seventh-generation car was offered in S, SV, SR, and SL trim levels, and the line-up had already been updated with Nissan’s V-motion grille by the 2016 model year. For shoppers, that means the 2017 Sentra brings a modern look, sensible packaging, and strong value. Its main drawback is also well known: the CVT has been a recurring concern for owners, so transmission condition is worth careful attention.
