Before you come in to see the Sentra up close and personal at our dealership, let's take a closer look at what it has to offer and why it is a perfect sedan for everyone, from solo commuters to small families shopping on a budget.
When it first debuted in 1982, the Nissan Sentra began its life as a subcompact sedan. As time went on, it became an immensely popular choice for all kinds of buyers on the American market. By the time the year 2000 rolled around, the Sentra became a compact sedan. Indeed, the Sentra has grown in size and popularity, becoming a best-seller for the esteemed Nissan brand.
The first Sentra generation, which lasted from 1982 to 1986, came in four body styles and was Nissan's second automobile to make it to the American market. The original engine only generated 67 hp but was soon replaced by one that generated 69 hp. Since it featured such a lightweight design, its fuel efficiency was quite good. The second generation Sentra, from 1987 to 1990, was also made with multiple body styles, including a three-door hatchback. 1989 and 1990 models were powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that generated 90 hp.
The third generation began in 1991 and dropped the hatch and wagon body styles and instead focused on the remaining two: a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan. Like the previous generations, it was built on Nissan's B platform. Cruise control and air conditioning could be ordered as part of the Value Option Package for the 1992 model. The fourth generation debuted in 1995 and eliminated the coupe and was sedan-only but gained several trim levels.
The fifth generation, from 2000 to 2005, marked the beginning of the compact classification, as well as more power and more trims. The sixth generation in 2016 saw the Sentra become a midsize sedan, while the seventh, which made its debut six years later, was built on the Nissan V platform. 2020 marked the beginning of the current eighth generation, which brought with it new engine options and innovative tech, continuing the Sentra's evolution and meeting the needs of the modern driver.
