2016 Nissan Sentra

The Nissan Sentra has undergone a significant refreshening for the 2016 model year, starting with a revised exterior and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies.

The exterior redesign brings Sentra closer in look and feel to the bold new 2016 Maxima and redesigned 2016 Altima. Key features of the new Sentra exterior include new front and rear fascias, grille fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights and a new 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design.

The revised 2016 Sentra interior features a new steering wheel, new available power driver's seat with power lumbar, new center cluster and audio display design, new console and shifter knob, and refined seat fabrics. The instrument panel offers a new TFT-type (Thin Film Transistor) LCD flat panel display with higher resolution than previous LCD screens.

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.

The 2016 Sentra also delivers enhanced performance and handling through a retuned suspension design featuring a 10 percent increase in spring and damper rates, as well as enhanced body stiffness for improved roll and body control. Drivability is enhanced through use of the next generation D-Step Logic Control for Xtronic transmission-equipped models. The D-Step Logic Control helps provide a more stable, natural and crisper shift feel.

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