2021 Nissan Sentra review

1. Lots of driver-assistance features

When loved ones are at the heart of every buying decision you make, isn't it great to see a suite of driver-assistance features included as standard? If your commute includes busy six-lane highways or multiple junctions, the 2021 Nissan Sentra's standard cruise control, lane departure alert, and intelligent forward collision warning will support your awareness on the road. In fact, every 2021 Nissan Sentra has no less than 16 driver-assistance features to give you peace of mind.

2. Connectivity as standard

Newly available standard features for the Nissan Sentra's 2021 model year include Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ functionality. These allow you to access your smartphone's most useful apps via the Sentra's standard seven-inch touchscreen. Why not catch up with your friends via hands-free calling, or use the voice-command feature to open your latest audiobook, podcast, or playlist? However busy life gets, nothing beats the feeling of connecting with your passions, friends, and family.

3. Three great trims

With three terrific trims, it's easy to find the 2021 Nissan Sentra that suits your lifestyle. The standard S trim is well-equipped in every area, so you may not need to look any further. But if you're regularly carpooling with colleagues or have busy days filled with errands, the SV trim has additional USB ports and the helpful Nissan Intelligent Key^® system. Upgrade to the SR trim for a sporty exterior silhouette that includes a rear spoiler, chrome grille and exhaust, and LED lamps.

4. Fuel-sipping engine

If you need a car to do double duty as a commuter and family vehicle, a fuel-sipping engine that delivers decent gas mileage is probably at the top of your wish list. Enter the 2021 Nissan Sentra. All trims are powered by a 149-hp 2.0L engine paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. Pick the S or SV trim and your Sentra can achieve an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined; the SR trim isn't far behind at an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined.

5. Two premium package options

If you're shopping for a sedan that will support your growing family (kids, dogs, and new friends included) over the next few years, it makes sense to look for a 2021 Nissan Sentra equipped with an available premium package. If cozy surroundings and clear blue skies give your mood a boost, choose a Sentra with the SV Premium Package—it includes a power-sliding glass moonroof, leather upholstery, and heated front seats. For epic road trips that require a soundtrack of symphonies and rock ballads, the SR Premium Package includes an eight-speaker Bose^® audio system.
