- The Nissan Sentra is a subcompact sedan that competes against the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
- I was impressed by its attractive styling, standard safety tech, and affordable pricing.
- But I was disappointed with its lackluster performance and a somewhat noisy engine.
For over 40 years, the Nissan Sentra has been a key player in the subcompact segment, competing against economy car stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
The current eighth-generation Sentra debuted in 2020 and received a refresh for 2024 that included revised styling, a new transmission, and updated tech.
The updates seem to have worked, with Sentra sales up 39% through the first nine months of 2024.
