Like any other Nissan Sentra, 2016 has a 1.8-capacity four-cylinder engine ranked at 128 pound-feet and 130 hp of torque. The EPA estimates that this model can achieve 30 mpg combined ( 36 highway/27 city).
This means its fuel economy range up to 32mpg combined highway and city. A CVT ( continuously variable automatic transmission) is accessible right at the standard and base trim in both trims. In addition, this Sentra tends to produce less horsepower compared to other compact vehicles.

Both of Sentra's rear and front sears are class-leading when talking about space. The rear accommodations are spacious, and the cabin gives a great impression of a decently made interior. This car comes with a smartphone–app–modern integration through a NissanConnect, and this allows the driver to google various searches using a 5.8-inch touchscreen interface.
Further, without navigation, someone will still stream the internet radio ( iHeartRadio or Pandora) and monitor social media and messages. Without forgetting to mention a huge luggage capacity, this measures 15.1 cubic ft in this car.

This vehicle is powered by a 130-horsepower-four cylinder engine. Therefore, the base model is a standard & good six-speed manual transmission. Handling turns, even the sharp ones is respectable and easy with this vehicle, as it is made with reassuring and responsive steering. In addition, the brakes are adequate to offer the drive enough stopping power, and also, we cannot leave an intuitive pedal feel, which is quite powerful.
