2.0 Sedan
All-new, larger and more sophisticated.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The word that applies to every aspect of the all-new 2007 Sentra is solid. Nissan has nailed this one, from a design standpoint. It's got a new engine, chassis, styling and interior, all of which are excellent and will keep the Sentra near the top of its competitive class of well-built cars. For the price, the Sentra is a great value.
