How much does the 2024 Nissan Sentra cost?

There are 647 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra a good car?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra is a solid fit if you want a straightforward compact sedan that prioritizes value, comfort, and easy everyday use over flash. It earns 3.67/5 from owners and 7.00/10 from our experts.

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

It brings refreshed styling for 2024, a comfortable feel, and improved fuel economy, but it also stays honest about its limits: the back seat is cramped, the technology is outdated, and it is positioned more as an affordable commuter than a class leader. The Sentra’s value proposition is strongest if you want a simple sedan that is easy to live with and reasonably priced.

Only 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is somewhat selective rather than deeply discounted.

Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra reliable?

The 2024 Nissan Sentra is built around a simple, efficiency-focused formula, and that generally supports low-stress ownership for shoppers who want a basic commuter. Its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and front-wheel-drive layout keep the mechanical package uncomplicated, and Nissan’s updated CVT is tuned for smoother operation and better fuel efficiency.

The Sentra also benefits from a decent warranty package, including three years or 60,000 kilometres of basic coverage and five years or 100,000 kilometres of powertrain coverage. That helps reduce early ownership risk if you buy used and the car is still within coverage.

For long-term used ownership, the main risk is that the Sentra’s appeal depends more on sensible transportation than on standout durability bragging rights, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base S and S Plus are the most stripped-down versions, while SV adds more everyday convenience and SR brings larger wheels and model-specific styling. SR Premium adds leatherette upholstery and more upscale equipment, so you should pay attention to which comfort and appearance features you actually want.
• 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 automatic models. The CVT was reengineered for 2024 to improve fuel efficiency and smoother operation.
• 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, and a 360-degree camera system is offered on SR Premium.
• Infotainment: The S gets a 7-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch instrument cluster display, while SV and SR move to an 8-inch touchscreen and a 7-inch instrument cluster display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but wireless versions 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 value-first choice if you want the lowest entry point and can live with the most basic equipment. It gives you the core Sentra experience, but the feature set is sparse compared with the higher trims.
• S Plus: This is mainly for shoppers who want the base trim’s simplicity but prefer the CVT instead of the manual transmission. It is a small step up in convenience rather than a major equipment upgrade.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for most buyers because it adds more useful everyday equipment, including the larger touchscreen, larger instrument display, alloy wheels, and adaptive cruise control. It strikes the best balance between price and features.
• SR: Choose this if you want the sportier look, 18-inch wheels, and the more distinctive cabin treatment. It is the better pick if styling matters to you and you still want the manual transmission option.
• SR Premium: This is the most upscale Sentra, adding leatherette upholstery and the available Bose audio system, plus the 360-degree camera system. It makes sense if you want the most content and are willing to pay for it.

Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, while SV and SR add adaptive cruise control and SR Premium offers the 360-degree camera system.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you should shop carefully and compare listings rather than rushing into the first decent example you see.

• Deal availability: 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 647 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.26% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,538 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 $21,538 CAD sits slightly below last year's $25,119 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Sentra has become more affordable for used buyers, which can make it easier to find a competitive deal now. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect a softer resale environment than a year ago unless your car is especially well equipped or exceptionally clean.

If you plan to sell later, the current trend points to a market where value retention is decent but not especially strong. A well-maintained Sentra with desirable equipment should still be easier to move than a bare-bones example, but pricing it aggressively will matter.

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 also received a “Poor” headlight rating. It earns 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 weak headlight performance are the main cautions here, so if safety is a top priority, you should pay close attention to trim and equipment and not assume every Sentra is equally well equipped.

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:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.26% compared with last year.
• The refreshed styling and improved fuel economy matter to you more than having the newest tech or the strongest safety results.

The bottom line: The 2024 Sentra is the better pick if you want the updated look and the efficiency improvements that came with this model year. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may still make sense, but the 2024 gives you the freshest version of this straightforward compact sedan.
