2020 Nissan Sentra review

1. More powerful engine

The 2020 Nissan Sentra comes standard with a 2L four-cylinder engine that produces 149 horsepower, more than the standard engine on previous model years. And, despite being more powerful, the Sentra's new engine sips gas. The sedan's EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined fuel economy makes it a good choice for drivers who commute.

2. Standard driver-assistance features

The 2020 Sentra comes standard with Nissan's suite of driver-assistance features. Every 2020 Sentra has front and rear emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and high-beam assistance. Intelligent cruise control is standard on the SV and SR trims, while a 360-degree camera is an available option for the SR trim.

3. Flexible cargo space

The 2020 Nissan Sentra comes with 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space. To make utilizing that space easier, the trunk is lower and wider than on previous models of the Sentra. In addition, the rear seats fold nearly flat, with a 60/40 split. That gives you the option to use some of the back seat for transporting cargo, while still keeping a seat or two for passengers.

4. Smartphone connectivity

The 2020 Nissan Sentra makes connecting your smartphone easy. The base model comes with a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity, while SV and SR trims also come with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. These features make it easy to access your podcasts, music, and contacts on the go.

5. Available premium upgrades

The SV and SR trims of the Nissan Sentra offer an available premium package. The optional package includes leather or synthetic leather seats as well as a moonroof. The package also includes heated front seats and a six-way adjustable driver seat—a great option if you'll be spending lots of time in the car.
