Across all its trims, the 2024 Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 149 hp.
Besides this, the car comes with an independent rear suspension, a smooth braking system, and wheel sizes between 16 and 18 inches, depending on the trim. All of these ensure seamless and comfortable ride quality, whether it is for daily commutes or weekend trips across town. Capable of running at 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds, it is also a reliable highway cruiser .
Fuel economy
Compared to the previous versions, the latest Nissan Sentra has better fuel economy. For example, the base trim S manual has a fuel economy of 8.0 L/100 km. This means an annual fuel cost of approximately $2,200. Meanwhile, the median trim SR manual is rated at around 8.2 L/100 km and approximately $2,255. Besides, the higher trims with the revised CVT, such as the S Plus and SV M oonroof , have a fuel economy of 6.6 L/100 km with an annual fuel cost of about $1,815. Finally, the SR and SR Premium average around 6.8 L/100 km with a yearly fuel cost of about $1,870.
Interior
The 2024 Nissan Sentra has  a classic and sophisticated interior design. The low price dictates a mix of soft and hard plastic materials, with the softer ones being more prevalent, making the car interior look stylish and contemporary. For those looking for upscale looks, the Nissan Sentra has models with quilted leather upholstery.
Nissan takes interior comfort to the next level by equipping the Snetra with zero-gravity front seats. These deliver superb comfort with a supportive backrest and ample space, making it stress-free to drive even on longer highway trips. The back, too, is quite spacious, with generous trunk space to haul groceries and luggage.
Along with scoring well on comfort, the interior has fairly good dashboard features. For instance, the base S trim comes with a seven-inch infotainment screen, and the other models have a slightly larger system at around eight inches. The difference in sizes does not compromise the inclusion of other handy features. This means  that regardless of the trim, each Sentra model can connect with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a hands-free text messaging assistant.
