A new generation with improvements across the line is on the way, but for 2019, the Sentra simply gets a larger, seven-inch colour display and with available NissanConnect featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The efficiency-minded, 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine delivers 130 horsepower when mated to the six-speed manual gearbox or 124 with the available CVT. Furthermore, the Sentra still proves to be one of the most spacious compact cars for passengers and their cargo.
