At a Glance: 2017 Nissan Sentra

The Nissan Sentra, the company's third best-selling vehicle behind the Altima and Rogue, has been a mainstay in the compact sedan segment for 35 years and seven generations. Following a consistent stream of product enhancements year after year – along with steadily increasing sales – Sentra extends its sporty SR model in 2017 with the addition of a new SR Turbo. The expansion of the lineup for 2017 follows revisions for the 2016 model year to the Sentra exterior and interior, and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies.

The new SR Turbo features an advanced 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGTM) Turbo 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. It is available with both 6-speed manual and uniquely tuned Xtronic transmissions. The SR Turbo also offers upgraded suspension, steering and front brakes. Full information on the 2017 Sentra SR Turbo is available at NissanNews.com.

Along with the new SR Turbo, the 2017 Sentra is offered in five models: S 6MT, S Xtronic, SV, SR and SL grades. Enhancements to all 2017 Sentra grades include improved interior quietness due to increased front and rear window glass thickness and nearly double the storage capacity in the front center console.

The Sentra exterior design reflects Nissan's new design language first introduced on the dramatic Nissan Murano crossover. It is a look shared with the current generations of Maxima and Altima and features bold front and rear fascias, grille, fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights. Sentra SR and SL grades offer LED low-beam headlights with LED signature accents.

Inside, the 2017 Sentra features ample roominess in a compact-size exterior, including an outstanding 37.4 inches of rear seat legroom. The intuitive interior layout emphasizes driver control and exceptional seat comfort for all occupants. The high-quality interior design features materials not usually found in compact vehicles, including soft-touch instrument panel and door armrests and available leather-appointed seating. Other available features range from Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control and a Bose® Premium audio system with eight speakers, to Nissan Intelligent Key® keyless entry and push button ignition system and RearView Monitor. Sentra SV, SR and SL grades include a 5.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display (ADAD) located between the tachometer and speedometer. These grades also include Siri Eyes Free™ Voice Recognition as standard equipment.

A number of Nissan's advanced Safety Shield Technologies are available on Sentra, including Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Also available is NissanConnectSM Services powered by SiriusXM® (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately). It offers emergency preparedness, remote access, customizable alerts and convenience services. The system allows the driver to set customized alerts for family and friends – such as speed, curfew and boundary notifications.

All normally aspirated Sentra models utilize a fuel-efficient 124-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to an advanced Xtronic transmission with sub-planetary gear. A 6-speed manual transmission is also available with the Sentra S grade.

Fuel economy is rated at 29 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined with the Xtronic transmission. The Sentra S with 6-speed manual transmission is rated at 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined.

Sentra also features standard Active Understeer Control system (not available on S 6MT grade), similar to that utilized on the Nissan Altima. The AUC system utilizes intelligent control logic and high-response brake actuators to lightly brake the inside front wheels during cornering (as required) to increase yaw-moment. Using the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)/Traction Control System (TCS) as its base, Active Understeer Control is almost undetectable when it operates.

At a Glance: 2017 Nissan Sentra NISMO

The 2017 Sentra NISMO is the latest in a long line of compact Nissan performance sedans going back nearly 50 years to the Datsun 510 and the original Sentra SE-R. The first-ever Sentra NISMO is also the first mainstream U.S. Nissan model to offer motorsports-inspired NISMO factory-tuned performance. It joins the GT-R NISMO, 370Z NISMO, JUKE NISMO and JUKE NISMO RS in the 2017 Nissan lineup.

The 2017 Sentra NISMO model's comprehensive transformation from everyday sedan to a highly personal performance machine includes aggressive exterior treatment, performance-oriented interior and unique suspension tuning.

The motorsports-inspired exterior features NISMO signature "layered double wing" design treatments in the front, side and rear lower body panels, with thin red stripe accents in the lower panels. In front, a unique front fascia dominates, along with standard LED Daytime Running Lights, NISMO black grille and NISMO badge. Other unique styling features include unique side sills, NISMO rear fascia and spoiler, NISMO exhaust finisher, chrome door handles and trunk finisher, rear NISMO badge and black NISMO outside mirror caps with integrated turn signals and NISMO red stripe. The 2017 Sentra NISMO is offered in four exterior colors – Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic, Super Black and Aspen White.

Inside, the Sentra NISMO interior is designed to support exciting driving – starting with unique NISMO front seats with logo and additional side bolstering. The rear seats feature unique cloth material with red stitching. Red motorsports-inspired accents are seen throughout the interior, including on the unique Alcantara and leather-wrapped steering wheel, the push button start with red start ring, NISMO meter cluster and red tachometer, leather shift knob and NISMO embroidered carpets. A dark headliner and NISMO logo on the instrument panel complete the special interior treatment.  Just one interior color is offered, Charcoal with red accents.

As expected of any vehicle wearing the NISMO badge, the new Sentra NISMO offers ample power under the hood. The 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGTM) turbocharged engine is rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine includes a 10.5:1 compression ratio, a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), spray-coated and mirror-finish cylinder bores and a variable pressure oil pump. The DIGTM system helps improve combustion, enhancing power, torque, economy and emissions, while use of the turbocharger and intercooler helps boost power. The variable timing control for both intake and exhaust cycles improves low-end engine response.

The engine is matched with choice of a 6-speed manual transmission, with gear ratios selected to take maximum advantage of the engine's powerband and torque curve, or an advanced, tuned Xtronic transmission. The Sentra NISMO also receives an enhanced body structure and NISMO-tuned steering and suspension tuning.

The NISMO-tuned independent strut front/rear torsion beam suspension goes beyond the SR Turbo's enhanced design (versus non-turbo Sentra grades) by adopting monotube rear dampers and unique tuning of the front springs and struts. The lightweight monotube shock design features separate oil and gas chambers and high-pressure gas charge to help provide quicker response to damper stroke and velocity changes. Faster damper response means faster reaction to changing steering or road conditions. In addition, NISMO tuning of the springs and struts helps improve body control (roll and pitch) for higher demand cornering.

Steering effort of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system has also been specially tuned to provide a "NISMO feel." The special dialing in of the effort/response relationship helps provide good highway and winding road feedback, precise on-center definition without overly high driver effort and a linear, direct steering feel at turn-in.

Also contributing to the overall handling performance is the unique Sentra NISMO wheel and tire combination. Utilizing NISMO 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels mounted with newly developed 215/45ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires, cornering power and grip levels are improved, even over the new Sentra SR Turbo. It is the first time 18-inch wheels and tires have been offered on a Sentra. For customers seeking maximum grip, high-performance 215/45WR18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R summer tires are available through Nissan dealers.

Along with the long list of unique NISMO features, the 2017 Sentra NISMO also offers a 5.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display (ADAD) located between the tachometer and speedometer, soft-touch instrument panel and door armrests, sliding armrest, Nissan Intelligent Key® keyless entry, RearView Monitor, power windows with driver's one-touch auto up/down with auto reverse, power door locks with auto-locking feature, remote keyless entry and remote trunk and fuel-filler door releases.

An AM/FM/CD system with 5.0-inch color display, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Siri Eyes Free™ Voice Recognition and smartphone integration for iPhone® and Android phones are also standard. The optional NISMO Premium Package adds a Bose® Premium audio system with eight speakers.

Also offered with the NISMO Premium Package is NissanConnectSM with Navigation and Mobile Apps – with 5.8-inch color touch-screen display, Nissan Voice Recognition for audio and navigation, SiriusXM® Traffic and SiriusXM® Travel Link® (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately) and NissanConnect Mobile Apps.

In addition to the new Sentra NISMO (6MT and Xtronic), the 2017 Nissan Sentra is offered in five other grade levels: Sentra S (6MT and Xtronic), SV (Xtronic), SR (Xtronic), SR Turbo (6MT and Xtronic) and SL (Xtronic).

At a Glance: 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo

With its unique sporty exterior, interior and wheel treatments, the SR grade has always stood apart from the rest of the popular Nissan Sentra lineup. For 2017, Sentra SR kicks things up a few notches – 64, to be precise, if measured in horsepower – with the addition of the new Sentra SR Turbo.

At the heart of the SR Turbo is its new 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGÔ) turbocharged engine that delivers a 50 percent horsepower increase from the normally aspirated 1.8-liter Sentra SR powerplant. Rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, the new SR Turbo engine offers 64 more horsepower and 52 more lb-ft of torque than non-turbo 2017 Sentra models1.

To help handle the increased power and torque, the new Sentra SR Turbo also receives an enhanced body structure, revised steering system, larger front disc brakes, new Xtronic transmission with manual mode (SR Turbo is also offered with a 6-speed manual transmission) and unique suspension tuning. The result is improved acceleration feeling from standing starts and highway passing, improved handling and enhanced ride comfort.

The Sentra SR Turbo's new 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine includes a 10.5:1 compression ratio, a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), spray-coated and mirror-finish cylinder bores and a variable pressure oil pump.

The DIGÔ system helps improve combustion, enhancing power, torque, economy and emissions, while use of the turbocharger and intercooler helps boost power. The variable timing control for both intake and exhaust cycles improves low-end engine response. Taken together, the engine combines spirited performance and efficient fuel economy*.

The enhancements to the suspension are designed to handle the increased power and include a 10 percent increase in front spring stiffness. The SR Turbo-specific front and rear damper tuning has been optimized for use with the 17-inch wheels and tires – front damping has been increased 23 percent and rear damping by 50 percent. In addition, the suspension benefits from body enhancements that range from increased front cowl thickness to new steering gear mounting.

The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system changes include a larger steering motor and remapped electronic to provide a balance feel between reduced effort at parking and low speed situations and enhanced feedback on highways and winding roads. Larger front brakes and calipers are also utilized, and Sentra's Active Understeer Control system has been optimized for the SR Turbo.

Other enhancements to all 2017 Sentra grades include improved interior quietness due to increased front and rear window glass thickness and nearly double the storage capacity in the front center console.

The new Sentra SR Turbo includes a standard power sliding glass moonroof with tilt feature and SR Turbo badging. Like the non-Turbo Sentra SR, the exterior is marked by LED low beam projector headlights with LED accents, lower body side sill extensions, rear spoiler with integrated LED brake light, fog lights, chrome exhaust finisher, heated outside mirrors with LED turn signals, and unique design 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 205/50R17 all-season tires. Inside, both SR and SR Turbo grades include sport interior trim, premium sport cloth seats, driver's seatback pocket and heated front seats.

Like all 2017 Sentra SV, SR and SL grades, the new SR Turbo also features a 5.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display (ADAD) located between the tachometer and speedometer, and standard Siri Eyes Free™ Voice Recognition.

All 2017 Sentras also offer ample roominess in a compact-size exterior, including an outstanding 37.4 inches of rear seat legroom. The intuitive interior layout emphasizes driver control and exceptional seat comfort for all occupants. The high-quality interior design features soft-touch instrument panel and door armrests, Nissan Intelligent Key® keyless entry and push button ignition system and RearView Monitor. The optional SR Turbo Premium Package adds leather-appointed seating, auto-dimming inside mirror with HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, and Bose® Premium audio system with eight speakers.

Also offered is NissanConnectSM with Navigation and Mobile Apps – with 5.8-inch color touch-screen display, Nissan Voice Recognition for audio and navigation, SiriusXM® Traffic and SiriusXM® Travel Link® (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately) and NissanConnect Mobile Apps.

The SR Turbo Premium Package, the only option package available with the new SR Turbo, includes Blind Spot Warning (BSW)2 and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)2.

In addition to the new SR Turbo (6MT and Xtronic), the 2017 Nissan Sentra is offered in four other grade levels: Sentra S (6MT and Xtronic), SV (Xtronic), SR (Xtronic) and SL (Xtronic).
