In the compact sedan segment in our country, the Nissan Sentra stands out as a ‘legendary’ presence.
Since its debut, it has maintained a stable monthly sales volume of around 20,000 units, securing its position as the sales champion in the field. Renowned for its comfort, fuel efficiency, durability, and exceptional value for money, the Sentra has consistently garnered positive reviews, earning the affection of a vast consumer base. However, amidst fierce market competition, Nissan faces significant challenges, especially with the rise of domestic brand
s and evolving consumer car-buying preferences. In response, the 2024 Nissan Sentra has been officially unveiled, presenting itself as an opportunity to embrace new challenges.
As a facelifted version, the 2024 Nissan Sentra undergoes a radical exterior redesign and receives upgraded features compared to the current model in our country. So, what surprises does it bring compared to the existing Sentra? Let’s explore.
In terms of exterior design, the 2024 Sentra adopts a more youthful and stylish overall design. The front fascia features the brand’s V-Motion design language with cleaner lines, accentuated by a red ‘SR’ emblem on the front grille, exuding a sporty vibe. The redesigned headlights now sport a sleeker profile, incorporating LED light strips and yellow turn signal cores for a more vivid appearance. Additionally, the side profile of the new Sentra showcases smoother and more natural lines, complemented by standard 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the Sentra SR sports model boasts upgraded 18-inch wheels. The black-painted side mirror caps and roof contribute to a distinctive two-tone effect, enhancing the visual dynamism. The rear end, especially with the slightly raised ‘ducktail’ design above the trunk and a single exhaust layout, adds to the overall sporty appeal.
Moving on to the interior, both the center console and instrument panel have undergone a redesign, featuring upscale materials and craftsmanship for a more luxurious and comfortable cabin space. The layout of the center console is organized and includes circular air vents, a flat-bottomed multifunction steering wheel, a 4.2-inch instrument cluster, and an 8-inch floating infotainment screen. It supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice recognition, and other features, adding a touch of technology. The interior ambiance is further enhanced by robust gearshift levers, a rear center armrest with two cup holders, sport seats, a circular dual-zone automatic climate control system, and chrome accents.
In terms of comfort, the new Nissan Sentra overseas version promises an enhanced driving experience with more comfortable seats and spacious interiors. The car will come equipped with an 8-speaker Bose Premium sound system, further elevating the overall driving experience.
On the feature front, the 2024 Sentra will be equipped with Nissan’s latest ProPilot Assist driving assistance system, offering features such as the Bose sound system, panoramic camera, pedestrian detection for active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, intelligent forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, lane centering, fatigue driving reminder, high beam assist, L2-level driving assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, IAVM intelligent 360-degree panoramic monitoring system, and direction indicators on the exterior mirrors, enhancing both safety and convenience for drivers.
In terms of power, the 2024 Sentra will be powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 111 kW and a maximum torque of 198 N·m. Paired with the new Xtronic CVT transmission, it is expected to offer improved performance compared to the 1.6L version available domestically. The model will also feature a new engine start/stop system, further reducing fuel consumption.
In summary, the 2024 Nissan Sentra overseas version has undergone upgrades and improvements in exterior design, features, and comfort. These enhancements not only give the new Sentra a more youthful and stylish appeal but also increase its competitiveness. It is anticipated that after its launch in 2024, the new Nissan Sentra will bring more surprises and successes. However, its ultimate reception among consumers will depend on market feedback.
