Are you seeking an affordable compact sedan with premium features? Look no further than the 2022 Nissan Sentra. Currently in its eighth generation, Nissan's iconic Sentra enters its 40th year of production in 2022, making it one of the longest-running sedans in automotive history. Catch a glimpse of this modern, sleek sedan with its sculpted lines and eye-popping exterior color options, and you'll be sold without ever getting behind the wheel.
Not only does the Sentra stand out for its sporty styling: it's loaded with standard driver-assist safety features designed to keep you protected on your daily commute. The Sentra also earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Speaking of awards, the Sentra also landed on Autotrader's 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates list, and WardsAuto named it among the Wards 10 Best Interiors. These awards are unsurprising since the Sentra's four-trim lineup includes options for buyers who are looking for affordability or who like a little luxury.
The 2022 Sentra anchors Nissan's popular sedan lineup for its excellent fuel economy and legendary reliability. You can buy with confidence when you see that telltale Nissan V-Motion grille because the Sentra is part of a family of vehicles known for delivering years of problem-free driving enjoyment. A sub-$20,000 starting price tag means you'll stay well within budget, and if you have a little more to spend, you can outfit the cabin with plenty of premium features, like quilted leather seats.* The 2022 Nissan Sentra is not your everyday sedan.
Starting at
For 2022, the Nissan Sentra continues its reign as one of the most stylish compact sedans in the category. With its athletic lines and low slung roofline, the Sentra defies its practical underpinnings and hints at the performance-oriented handling that makes it so different from all the rest. Buyers can choose to add optional LED headlights and fog lights, which bookend the Sentra's signature V-Motion grille and add to the modern exterior theme.
Are you looking for the sportiest Sentra? Check out the Sentra SR, a trim that's devoted to showing off this compact sedan's adventurous side. Features like a rear spoiler and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a diamond-cut pattern stand out, as do the black outside mirrors and the side panel sill extensions. The Sentra SR takes on a lowered appearance and comes available with special two-tone exterior paint combos, including a bright Monarch Orange Metallic with Super Black.
Slide into the driver's seat of the 2022 Nissan Sentra, and the first thing you'll notice is the premium cabin feel. There's the satin chrome aluminum trim and the flat bottomed steering wheel, both contributing to more of a sports car-type of vibe. Still, just when you think the Sentra offers more of a minimalist interior, one look at the Sentra SV's quilted leather seating reveals yet another side of this versatile sedan.
No more uncomfortable rides on hard seats: all Sentra trims receive a set of Zero Gravity seats. These Nissan signature seats are designed for comfort, ergonomically conforming to occupants, and helping to minimize fatigue during the daily commute or a spur of the moment weekend road trip. Speaking of road trips, the 2022 Sentra offers plenty of space for your luggage, thanks to a generous 14.3 cubic feet of space in the trunk.
2022 Nissan Sentra SR buyers will enjoy a long list of top-of-the-line standard comfort and convenience features. These include dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Optional add-ons via the available Premium Package include a heated steering wheel, heated power-adjustable front seats, a power moonroof, and an 8-speaker Bose premium audio system. The package also includes a 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor.
The 2022 Nissan Sentra is a great choice for daily commuters, not only for its robust safety features and impressive fuel economy, but also because it offers tons of infotainment and connectivity features designed to make the drive more entertaining. All Sentra trims come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, so streaming content from your favorite apps is as easy as a single plug-and-play USB connection.
The Sentra SV and Sentra SR receive a standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that's compatible with NissanConnect, an app-based suite of connectivity features that turn your smartphone into a virtual key. In addition, the SV and SR trims also get an upgraded 6-speaker audio system, while the base Sentra S includes a 4-speaker version. Sentra SR buyers can opt for a Premium Package that adds an 8-speaker premium Bose audio system for optimal in-cabin entertainment.
The robust NissanConnect service includes an available Wi-Fi hotspot that you can activate with an affordable data plan. Also included is NissanConnect Services Skill for Alexa and NissanConnect Services Action on Google. Both systems let you perform several different voice-activated actions from your compatible Alexa or Google smart home device, including remotely starting your Sentra's engine, locking and unlocking the doors, and even sounding the horn. The same features are available from your smartphone via the NissanConnect app.
Also part of the NissanConnect is accident assistance. If your airbags deploy, the system will automatically call for help. It's called Automatic Collision Notification. Also, if you get a flat tire or your battery dies, you can use the same connected services to request roadside assistance. You can also use the app to search for destinations or points of interest and send the results to your Sentra's onboard navigation system (if properly equipped). Altogether, the Sentra's connected services allow for a seamless transition from home to the road.
Do you have a teen driver in the house? You'll love the customizable alerts feature, which lets you set a speed limit, a geographical boundary limit, or even a curfew. You'll be alerted when your Sentra violates any of your pre-programmed settings, so you'll always know when the new driver in the house is pushing their limits. All of these features fall under the Nissan Intelligent Mobility suite of connected services, all designed to deliver optimal convenience.
Safety-conscious drivers will love that every 2022 Nissan Sentra trim receives standard Nissan Safety Shield 360. This suite of driver-assist safety systems uses radar, cameras, and sensors to continuously monitor the area surrounding the vehicle, notifying drivers of potential hazards and dangers. The system is designed to support drivers in common risky driving scenarios, such as monitoring the vehicle's blind spots and automating the shift from low beams to high beams.
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection keeps a close watch on your speed and the distance between your vehicle and the car in front of you. The system will alert you if you get too close, so you'll know to slow down. It can also automatically apply the brakes to evade a collision or lessen an imminent collision's severity. Not only that, but the system is sensitive enough to detect a pedestrian entering your lane and will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a tragedy.
Rear Automatic Braking is also included in the Safety Shield 360 suite. The 2022 Sentra is the only sedan in its segment that offers this feature standard, and most competitors do not even offer it as an option. Rear Automatic Braking works by checking for objects behind you as you're backing up. If you don't stop, the system will apply the brakes to avoid a collision. It's a bumper saver that gives drivers a much-needed confidence boost when backing in and out of tight parking spots.
Additional systems included in the Safety Shield 360 suite are Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning. All three systems monitor the area surrounding your Sentra and use audible alerts to help you back up, change lanes, and even stay centered in your intended lane of travel. Blind Spot Warning watches that dreaded dead space in the surrounding lanes to ensure when you make a lane change, you won't miss a hidden vehicle.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps you back out of your driveway safely. As you put your Sentra in reverse and begin backing out, the system will continuously monitor traffic entering from the left or right and alert you to stop when it senses a vehicle is approaching. Lane Departure Warning works by sensing when the vehicle starts to drift out of its intended lane of travel. The system sends an audible alert as well as haptic feedback through the steering wheel, which reminds you to correct your course.
Last but certainly not least is High Beam Assist, which takes the drudgery out of nighttime driving by automatically shifting from high beam setting to low beam setting at the first sign of oncoming traffic. Once the approaching vehicle passes, the system automatically switches back to the high beam setting. Not only does High Beam Assist automate a tedious driving task, but it also increases visibility by keeping the high beams engaged as much as possible, something drivers don't always remember to do when they're managing the switch manually.
