Over the years, the Nissan Sentra has consistently met the expectations of a wide range of drivers looking for a dependable and economical vehicle. This is thanks to Nissan’s dedication to designing vehicles focusing on fuel efficiency, thoughtful interiors, and solid performance. This commitment has always been the backbone of the Nissan brand, which was first introduced in the United States with the debut of the Datsun 510 sedan in the 1950s. Add to that dedication a reputation for longevity and minimal maintenance expenses, and it’s easy to understand why the Sentra is a reliable companion for daily commuting and family trips.
Today, the Nissan Sentra continues to be a mainstay in the automotive industry. The 2024 Nissan Sentra is available now, offering drivers the ability to get from point A to point B easily and on budget, thanks to its low starting price. However, a low price point doesn’t mean you’re not getting a great deal. In fact, the 2024 Sentra offers many amenities you’ll find in higher-priced vehicles, which is yet another reason to consider it for your next car. This guide will go over the various trims you’ll find when shopping for the Sentra, starting with the base Nissan Sentra S and ending with the top-tiered SR. Each trim offers a consistent blend of amenities that everyday drivers need and want. Continue reading to learn more about the new Sentra in this detailed trim guide.
Breaking Down the 2024 Nissan Sentra Lineup
The 2024 Nissan Sentra is offered in three trims, all with front-wheel drive. The starting MSRP for the base trim S is around $21,000, which puts it midway through the top ten least expensive cars for the 2024 model year as 2023 winds down. Additionally, it boasts a combined fuel efficiency of 34 MPG for the S and SV trim levels, while the SR offers a combined 33 MPG. If that’s not enough to make you consider it, looking at its stylish, sporty, refreshed exterior should do the trick. Even better? The interior offers a sleek and modern look that is thoughtfully designed for today’s fast-paced world.
The 2024 Nissan Sentra S
The Nissan Sentra S comes equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine and an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). What does that mean? Simply put, there are no set gears in a CVT, which is different from other automatic transmissions. Instead, it provides a smooth, continuous range of gear ratios that allows for seamless acceleration without the need for traditional gear changes. Nissan’s CVT, offered under the Xtronic name, is designed to improve fuel efficiency along with providing you with a smoother ride.
The base S trim also focuses on safety, ensuring you reach your destination safely. Noted standard features include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking, to name a few. There’s also a Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with a Traction Control System that helps you stay in control regardless of changing road conditions. It should be noted that each of these is also standard in the other three trims.
The 2024 Nissan S also gives you comfort and convenience with features like Remote Keyless Entry with Push Button Ignition and an in-cabin microfilter to maintain optimum air quality. In addition, you and your passengers can stay connected during the drive with the 7-inch color touch-screen display that allows for voice recognition and a seamless connection to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 2024 Nissan Sentra SV
The mid-level Sentra trim gives you the same smooth ride as the base trim, with the 2.0L four-cylinder engine. However, additional driver assistance features compared to the ones listed above might make you consider this trim over the S. For instance, the SV option has Cruise Control with Distance Pacing as a standard feature. This system lets you preset a distance from vehicles ahead of you and adjust the speed accordingly so that you remain with the flow of traffic without getting too close. You also have the option of a 360-Degree Surround View Monitor, which gives you a virtual 360-degree view of the area around your Sentra, making parking and reversing a breeze.
Another added convenience comes in the form of the standard Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition. This means you can access your vehicle without pulling the keys out of your pocket or purse by just pressing the Request Switch on the door. It will also give you access to the truck, which is a nice touch if your hands are full. Finally, you can simply push the button to start your car without having to take out the key.
Nissan engineers considered comfort for the 2024 model year as well as innovative convenience features. This includes a six-way adjustable driver’s seat for all three trim levels, as well as a four-way adjustable front passenger seat. You’ll also enjoy the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatbacks. The SV goes a step further, giving you premium cloth seat trim.
Last but not least, the SV trim gives you a 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display that keeps you informed of things like fuel level and diagnostics for your Sentra. With the base-level S trim, this display is 4.2 inches. Also, you’ll gain an inch over the S trim as you enjoy the NissanConnect eight-inch color touch-screen display. For added connectivity, you and your passengers will have access to two USB-A ports and one USB-C port. This is in addition to a seamless connection to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and voice recognition.
The 2024 Nissan SR
The top-tiered Nissan SR has many of the same features offered in the other two trim levels, but there are a few differences. First, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control is standard at this level, helping you and your passengers feel comfortable during the drive. You’ll also enjoy the added convenience of Remote Engine Start with Intelligent Climate Control, meaning that you’ll gain that comfort from the minute you enter the car if you’ve started it ahead of time. Other convenience options are the rear center armrest with cupholders, heated front seats, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. You’ll also enjoy standard sport cloth seat trim with contrast stitching, or you can opt for the available leatherette seats with contrasting stitching.
Regarding connectivity during the drive, the SR offers you the same NissanConnect eight-inch color touch-screen display as the SV does, but it also gives you the ability to enhance your drive with available NissanConnect Services powered by SiriusXM. This option comes with trial access to the five-year Select and three-year Premium packages. The Premium package includes additional benefits as well, giving you a power sliding glass moonroof, sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors, a Bose Premium Audio System with eight speakers, and more.
