A long-standing member of the Nissan family, the Sentra compact sedan seems to have regained some of the territory it lost to the Versa. Five trim levels are available, including the S and SL with a 140-hp 2.0L engine, as well as the sporty SE-R and its 2.5L engine whose output has been upped to 177 hp – and as high as 200 hp for the Spec V version.
