Introduction
The Nissan Sentra is playing a major part in the portion of small automobiles. The cars of previous generation that are redesigned lastly in the year 2007 have been outclassed increasingly by means of feature, fuel economy, and design. Yet this entirely redesigned model is a modified car, showing considerable enhancements that should thrust this previous automobile into spotlight out from the shadows. The 2013 Sentra rides for starters atop. Wholly the length has been grown to two inches, yet said by Nissan that the new car is comparatively one hundred and fifty pounds lighter than before. The style of Sentra has increased at the same time with upscale and more cleaner appearance.

Notably, the car’s grille, silhouette and headlights/taillights are now more closely related to the similarly redesigned Altima’s. This premium vibe continues into the cabin, which features higher-quality materials and a more handsome-looking design. The Sentra’s extra length has also freed up greater amounts of rear passenger room and trunk space.
Under the hood is a new 1.8-liter engine. It’s slightly smaller than last year’s 2.0-liter engine, and makes less peak power (130 horsepower versus 140 hp). This may seem odd until you realize Nissan’s goal was to compete with the Sentra’s rivals, which advertise 40-mpg capability on the highway. Indeed, the Sentra FE earns this same impressive rating, while overall fuel economy is impressive throughout the lineup. A newly revised continuously variable transmission (CVT) comes on all but the base model, which has a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
Overall, the 2013 Nissan Sentra makes a strong showing in a segment that is chock full of great choices, each with its own advantages. The 2013 Ford Focus and 2013 Mazda 3 provide a more involving driving experience along with a slightly more youthful vibe. And you can’t leave out the 2013 Hyundai Elantra and 2013 Honda Civic, with their well-rounded nature and generous lists of standard features. Yet if fuel economy and a spacious and upscale interior are priorities for you, then the 2013 Nissan Sentra is worthy of serious consideration.
