If you’re looking for a bold and stylish sedan that’s great for everything, check out the 2024 Nissan Sentra. From daily commutes and errand runs to epic cross-country road trips, this model should be at the top of your list. This efficient car isn’t just practical and affordable; it’s also fun to drive, so you can make any outing a joyride. We’re proud to offer this amazing model here at Illini Nissan and want to make sure that you know everything that it has to offer.
Refreshed for the 2024 model year, the Sentra has a modern design inside and out, with a fresh look and all of the technology you need to stay entertained and connected while on the road. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility come standard across the lineup, so you can use your favorite apps from your smartphone through the Sentra’s intuitive interface. Speaking of apps, you can get the MyNissan mobile app to control remote features, view vehicle diagnostics, access roadside assistance, schedule service, and more. These are just a few of the modern conveniences that the Sentra has onboard.
Starting at
Any vehicle can get you from Point A to Point B, but the spunky Sentra can make getting there half the fun. As a sedan, the Sentra has a low center of gravity that provides better driving dynamics than a bulky SUV, truck, or van can give you. That means you’ll have a responsive vehicle that handles well in all kinds of situations, from miles and miles of driving straight down the highway at high speeds to tackling twisty mountain passes with tight turns. Depending on your driving style, you can either use the Sentra to get your thrills by switching into Sport Mode and putting the pedal to the metal or you can simply drive with confidence, knowing that you have full control over your vehicle so you can stay safe during every trip.
The Sentra is loaded with finely tuned features that enhance your driving experience. Its multi-link rear suspension keeps your ride nice and smooth, and an advanced steering system is responsive for optimal cornering, letting you navigate crowded parking lots and tight city streets with ease. Hill start assist lets you park on an incline without having to worry about slipping backward for the gap where your foot is off the brake but not yet on the gas. Intelligent engine brake, intelligent trace control, and active ride control are all passive systems that enhance your driving experience without making you lift a finger.
Under the hood, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine cranks out up to 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. For a compact sedan, that’s plenty of power to get up to speed when you need to, whether you’re traveling on a busy highway with a speed limit of 65 mph or need to speed up momentarily to pass a slow-moving semi on a rural two-lane road. It pairs with a CVT transmission that’s all new for the 2024 model year and shifts smoothly so you can get a perfect driving feel at any speed. Between this engine, the new transmission, and the addition of idle start-stop technology, the 2024 Sentra is not only more efficient than the outgoing model but impressively efficient in general. The Nissan Sentra has an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway fuel efficiency rating. If you want to optimize your fuel economy, you can switch to Eco Mode and save yourself from pain at the pump every time you hit the road.
For the 2024 model year, the Sentra got a styling makeover that has it looking better than ever before. The front fascia gives the front end a bolder look than the 2023 model while still incorporating the distinct V-motion grille shape that Nissan fans know and love. It pairs nicely with the newly designed headlights that are not only functional for providing plenty of visibility on dark nights but also give the Sentra’s exterior a distinct sense of personality so you can stand out from the crowd. There are also new wheel designs available in both 16-inch and 18-inch sizes, so you can choose a set that looks good whether you’re parked or on the move.
While many of the styling updates apply across the lineup, there are some extra aesthetic upgrades that are reserved exclusively for the sporty SR trim. Not only does this premium trim feature luxuries like heated seats and a dual-zone automatic climate control system, but it also looks the part of a top-tier trim with exclusive style inside and out. Front and rear SR badges stand out in a bold red to let the world know that you’re behind the wheel of a quality vehicle.
For the 2024 model year, the SR sports newly-designed 18” aluminum-alloy wheels that match its sporty personality. It also stands out from the rest of the lineup with a dark chrome trim on the grille and a body-colored lower trim strip underneath. Speaking of paint colors, you can make your Sentra SR distinct by opting for a two-tone colorway, pairing a white, orange, blue, or gray body with a black roof that provides a unique contrast. On the inside, sport cloth seat trim comes standard, or you can upgrade to leatherette seats if you prefer a more classic look and feel. Either way, the SR features unique contrast stitching in a sporty red-orange color that will make you feel like you’re on an adventure, even when you’re just heading out to the grocery store.
Whether you’re heading to work during rush hour or taking the kids to school, sports, or playdates, staying safe behind the wheel should always be a top priority. Nissan knows that drivers shouldn’t have to pay extra for features that can prevent devastating accidents, which is why the Safety Shield 360 suite of driver assistance technology comes standard throughout the lineup. These advanced features can warn you about impending danger using noises, visuals, and vibrations from the standard haptic steering wheel and can even take action to prevent collisions if you don’t respond in time:
Collisions aren’t the only danger to watch out for on the road. Blowing out a tire on the freeway can be a harrowing experience, which is one reason why keeping your tires at the right pressure is so important. Like most modern vehicles, the Sentra comes standard with a tire pressure monitoring system that lets you know when you should pull over and find the nearest air pump. The Sentra’s system also has a display that shows the individual pressure of each tire, so you can easily see if one in particular is having trouble.
Knowing the pressure is off is just step one and many drivers find inflating tires to the proper pressure to be a bit tricky, especially if the nearest gas station has a pressure gauge that’s worn down or missing altogether. Luckily, the Sentra comes standard with Nissan’s easy-fill tire alert system across all trims. This feature uses the horn to let you know when you’ve reached the right pressure, which takes out a lot of the guesswork so you can get back on the road ASAP.
