Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra a good car?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra is a solid value-focused compact sedan, with a 3.67/5 user rating and a 7.00/10 expert rating that reflect its strengths and compromises.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Cost effectiveness.

It stands out for refreshed styling, a comfortable ride, and strong value for money, while still feeling like an honest compact sedan rather than a class leader in every area. The trade-offs are clear: the back seat is cramped and the technology is outdated.

With 29.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding one priced attractively.

Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra reliable?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra looks like a sensible everyday commuter, with a straightforward mechanical setup and a value-first mission.

Its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive layout keep the formula simple, and the updated CVT is described as smoother while helping improve fuel efficiency. Nissan also added an engine start-stop system for 2024 to further boost efficiency.

Nissan’s warranty coverage includes three years or 60,000 kilometres of basic coverage and five years or 100,000 kilometres of powertrain coverage, which helps reduce early ownership risk.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a value-oriented car with mixed safety results and dated tech may age less gracefully than some rivals if you plan to keep it for many years.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Nissan Sentra?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base S is the simplest version, while the S Plus mainly swaps in the CVT. SV adds 16-inch alloy wheels and a moonroof sub-grade, and SR brings 18-inch wheels, model-specific styling, and black-roof availability. SR Premium adds leatherette upholstery and the most upscale feel, so the best-value trim is likely the SV if you want a better equipment balance without stretching too far.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, front-wheel drive, and either a six-speed manual on S and SR or a CVT on the other trims. The CVT was reengineered for better fuel efficiency and smoother operation, and the car also adds engine start-stop for 2024.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward collision warning, front and rear automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. SV and SR add adaptive cruise control, while a 360-degree camera system is offered on SR Premium.
• Infotainment: The S gets a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4.2-inch instrument display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, a single front USB port, and a four-speaker audio system. SV and SR move to an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch instrument display, a six-speaker audio system, SiriusXM, a front USB-C port, and a charge-only USB-A port. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered.
• Fuel efficiency: Manual models are rated at 9.4 L/100 km city, 6.4 highway, and 8.0 combined, while CVT models are rated at 7.3 city, 5.8 highway, and 6.6 combined. SR trims are rated at 8.2 combined with the manual and 6.8 combined with the CVT.

Which 2024 Nissan Sentra trim should I buy?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra is offered in 5 trim levels: S, S Plus, SV, SR, and SR Premium.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Sentra experience with the 7-inch touchscreen, standard smartphone integration, and the full Safety Shield 360 suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is the most basic choice.
• S Plus: This trim mainly changes the transmission from manual to CVT, so it is best if you want the automatic without moving up the equipment ladder. It is a practical step up, but not the most compelling value if you want more features.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds 16-inch alloy wheels, the larger 8-inch touchscreen, the bigger instrument display, SiriusXM, extra USB connectivity, and adaptive cruise control. If you want the most balanced mix of price and equipment, this is the one to target.
• SR: This trim adds 18-inch wheels, more distinctive styling, and the option of a manual transmission, so it suits you if you care more about appearance and a slightly sportier look. It also keeps the stronger tech package from the SV.
• SR Premium: This is the most upscale Sentra, with leatherette upholstery and the available Bose audio system, plus the 360-degree camera system. Choose it if you want the most features and are willing to pay for them.

Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, while adaptive cruise control is added on SV and SR, and the 360-degree camera is offered on SR Premium.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Nissan Sentra?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 610 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.37% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,813 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Nissan Sentra's resale value?

The current average of $21,816 CAD sits slightly below last year's $25,778 CAD.

That drop suggests the Sentra has become more affordable for used buyers, but it also means a future seller may face softer pricing if market conditions stay similar. The current range still shows healthy demand, yet the year-over-year decline points to a model that is more attractive on the buying side than the selling side right now. If you plan to own one for a while, the value proposition is stronger than the resale upside.

Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra safe?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra received the top “Good” rating in the IIHS’s original side-impact crash test, but only an “Acceptable” rating in the updated version, and it received five-star ratings in rollover and side crash tests from NHTSA.

It earns a 4/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward collision warning, front and rear automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. SV and SR models add adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera system is offered on SR Premium.

The mixed crash-test results and the poor headlight rating are the main cautions here, so safety-conscious used buyers should pay close attention to trim and equipment.

Should I buy a 2024 Nissan Sentra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.37% compared with last year.
• The 2024 refresh matters to you because it brings updated styling and mechanical changes aimed at better fuel economy.

The bottom line: The 2024 Sentra makes the most sense if you want the refreshed look and improved efficiency at a lower used price than last year. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may still be worth comparing, but the 2024 is the better pick when you want the updated version without paying a premium.
