Over its seven generations on the market, Nissan Sentra achieved over 30 million sales units and became the third best-selling vehicle from the Japanese carmaker.
The Sentra became famous, especially after the third generation, with the SE-R Coupe version that set the sub-compact class's performance standards. Later on, the sub-compact sedan size was increased and, in 1999, entered into the compact-segment. The seventh-generation was built on the same platform as the European Nissan Pulsar. It was unveiled in 2012 as a 2013 model and refreshed it in 2015 as a 2016 model year.
It was hard to tell that the 2016 Sentra featured an original design since the front fascia resembled the Lexus IS series. Key features of the 2016 Sentra exterior included a new front fascia, grille, fenders, hood, and signature boomerang-shaped headlights. A new LED low-beam headlights with LED accents were offered on the Sentra SR and Sentra SL grades. In the rear, a new fascia with redesigned boomerang-shaped taillights added a more premium appearance.
Inside, the 2016 Sentra designers took their inspiration from the 370Z. The driver benefited from a new, 6-way adjustable power seat and a TFT screen placed between the tachometer and speedometer. Due to the long wheelbase, the 2016 Sentra offered ample legroom for the rear passengers.
Nissan installed two engine options under the hood, with power ranged between 124 hp and 188 hp paired to either a 6-speed manual or a CVT.
