Nissan Sentra

Price $22,548 – $30,648
Fuel consumption 5.8 – 9.5 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 75%(view ratings)
The Nissan Sentra has to contend with big guns like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Styling has been updated for 2024, a new CVT is part of the package, and there’s an interesting array of technologies, too. The Sentra SR isn’t any sportier than the rest of the lineup, though a six-speed manual transmission is available. All models feature the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 149 horsepower. Go with the CVT for better fuel economy.
