- The ALL NEW Sentra has arrived and it is ready to be the compact car king. It's exterior has been enlarged and re-shaped to make it look like a mini Maxima. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 that produces 149HP & mated to a CVT. On the inside you will see a highly improved interior with full leather seating and a ton of safety features. Is the redesigned 2020 Nissan Sentra a BETTER compact car to buy?

The Sentra has many of the same styling cues as the Maxima and Altima, and somehow they work so much better on the Sentra. I would prefer silver with the black.
AGREED!
@@RaitisRides I just purchased the Gun metal and black SR! Love the car, hate the wheels, but i am getting different ones tomorrow!
The redesign is great looking.
I agree with you!
Raiti's Rides They really did make a big improvement and I think that will help them in the future when it comes to doing redesigns and etc.
That was great looking redesign sentra
But that’s about it
Instablaster...
awsome color. really good daily driver for most people I think.
I agree with you!
I actually LOVE the iPad design of the touchscreen display. Makes it seem more modern as opposed to something built in that makes you wonder if it's this super bulky outdated thing being hidden. I also thought I would hate the orange stitching, but when I went to a lot and saw it in person today I was blown away. Honestly it seems like a great car. Coming off a 2013 Nissan Versa with no luxuries I think I'm going to love this. Thanks for the review! You have helped me make my decision :) now I just gotta find a dealer with the monarch orange two tone color and premium package....
This 2L makes 9 more HP then the near 30 year old Sentra SE-R’s 2L. That’s progress!
Steven D When will they STOP with the Jatco CVT...? Nissan has the best styling, hands down of almost all car manufacturers but that reliability has taken a huge crap...
I see what you did there!
Raiti's Rides Love the content man. Your positivity has really helped! Hope those in your life are giving back the same light brother. You deserve it.
@@silenciummortum2193 When will people stop with the Nissan CVT comments on youtube? If you don't like Nissan and their CVTs don't buy them!!!! Wow, what a concept. Most of these CVT haters most likely have never owned a Nissan.
J Silver WELLLLL sir, why not become a mechanic like I am with 27 years experience ANNNDDDDDD with that experience have something fruitful to say about CVT transmissions. My customers spend thousands of dollars on unnecessary repairs due to poor craftmanship, bad parts and awful quality to boot, mainly come Nissans with CVTs! With that in mind, why don’t you know something before attempting to talk about it. Wow! What a concept...! Good day ma’am and thanks for comin’ out!
Great content again man! You are really helping us out with not just the reviews and the great information but just being a positive, good guy. You seem like the type of guy everyone would want to have as a friend in real life, God bless.
That really is so awesome of you to say! Thanks for letting me share my passion with you!
good review. very nice car Nissan has probably changed the design of a Sentra more than anyone.this one is the best.
Thanks Morris!
$21,000? That actually sounds reasonable, but then again, I do like the Sentra. I used to drive an 87, and I loved that little car!
This may be the best looking compact sedan on the market in my opinion!! Just wish it had a little more power. 👍🏾👏🏾😉
The new Nissan Sentra is awesome and the front face looks like a gentleman' s happy face
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 194,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
That color is pretty cool! Amazing review, like always! Stay safe guys! 😎👊🏼
I still like the look of the exterior of my 2017 brilliant silver Nissan Sentra Nismo which has 188hp and aspects of the interior better as it stands out more since this new one looks so much like a mini maxima.
However, it is really nice to see Nissan start to put some love into the interior (I'm looking at you 370Z!). Overall looks like a good deal for a daily.
Thanks for all that you guys do!
Just upgraded my lease with this new car it's amazing Soo much better then the out going model very happy customer..🥰💪
Just got one a 2020 white SR. Lease was up on my 2017 and it’s a night and day difference
Congrats Joseph! You are so very right!
I picked up this car over the summer and have had it for 6-7 months now. Overall really happy with it! The one thing that bugs me is that the car isn't as insulated as I would have hoped for. The wind noise is a little intrusive when you're doing 120km on the high way. Other than that, it is a great car and I do recommend it if you're looking specifically into getting a lease. I'm paying $320 with tax in Canada for an SR model with a black roof and white body.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership.
Omg 320 is a dream payment FAINTS
Thanks for your very informative reviews. Today I purchased a 2020 Nissan Sentra SR. So far, I love it. I especially like all of the safety features that my older 2011 BMW 328i XDrive did not have. The new styling is what sold me. And who doesn't like the new car smell? I looked at the 2020 Buick Encore GX but could not get past it being a 3 cylinder (another informative review from you). Thanks again.
I love that orange!
It really pops in the sun!
Me too its sooo pretty 😍
I love being part of the Raitis rides family. I like the review here. One thing I would appreciate is including the sound of Bose stereo quality and if it’s easy to operate the infotainment like Apple car play. Thanks Joe!
5:58 smart looking interior. Nice modern design and touches - Mercedes influences it seems. The ICE system in Nissan has historically been poor. Good to Nissan picking up their game.
I hope their Nismo edition will be a sports worthy of recognition. Give the Civic Type R and Yaris, GT86, and Corolla TRD/GRMN some competition lol.
I totally agree with you!
I would love for the Nismo version to have at least 300hp.
Yes please with AWD or even RWD!
Hope we get to see a se r or spec v version
keep hoping.
"Leave your kids in the back seat notification" while mom went to the store. That was common practice during the 70s and early 80s for me and my siblings.
One thing they changed which I did not hear you mention. They changed from a torsion beam to fully independent suspension which is why I am sure it rides and handles better.
The color is absolutely stunning, and I feel Auto Manufacturers should add more attention grabbing color to our roads, primarily as these colors are a good safety stand out in dull overcast weather as opposed to the blacks and dark grays. That being said though, the advent of DRLs, has helped enormously to stop darker colors from blending in to their surroundings...
I totally aggree with you!
Another awesome review Joe!! This is one great looking car!! I am pretty impressed!! When I was in highschool in 2004 I had a new Nissan Sentra Spec-v!! It was pretty fun at the time!! I put an exhaust, intake, and a 5 shot of nitrous!! At the time I thought it was the coolest thing!! I later owned 4 different year civic Si and now I love my TypeR!! Cars have been a big part of my life!! Keep up the great work Joe!! I look forward to seeing you on the next ride!
Dang you put nos in a Sentra? Must've been kind of crazy lol
Hey Shaun! Thanks for letting me share this one with you1 That story sounds like a blast! I would of love to have been there! Thanks for always sharing the journey with me!
@@nujxad AGREED!
DJ y !! It was a 50 shot and it ran well!! It was surprisingly pretty quick! I was young and stupid for sure!!
You’re welcome!! It definitely was a blast!! I wouldn’t do it to my car now days!! Looking back I realized I learn as I go!! 16 years since my first new car has flown by for sure!! Hope to talk again soon Joe! Have a great week
You should do a daily review of the car, and making a conclusion after a week of driving, telling us how it was driving the car for a week and if you recommend as a daily driver.
He would have to pay alot of money to make that possible. More then what youtube pays. Car dealerships aren't just gonna let people do that. Every mile takes away vavle.
Mrdontmess1996 just say don’t go to the dealer ship but the maker them self to do that they should give you one to try like a mother TH-camr thesraightpipes
@@PlumberWRX uh, in the very beginning of the video he said NISSAN gave him the car for A WEEK!!!!!!!
@@PlumberWRX uh, in the very beginning of the video he said NISSAN gave him the car for A WEEK!!!!!!!
If you want a reliable long term daily driver, don't even bother looking at a Nissan.
Hey Joe hope you and your family are doing well just wanted to say thanks for the videos they keep me in high spirits in these difficult times and is helping me with dealing with my sick dog 🐕 enough of that I was hoping you would do a review of this car also love the orange paint job
I love the review! I don't know if you are interested but I would love for you to mention the history of durability with each model, ie. common problems to look out for and rating their performance. What makes me want to buy it besides looks and features. thanks!
I will add that Ari! Thanks for the feedback!
This is by far the best looking compact car. It look like no corners was cut
I love the color of this car!! Good job Joe.
This car reminds me of my fathers Datsun B210..... I think this is what that car would have evolved into.. Thanks for this review Joe.
That is so very true Tony!
Why are people in the comments complaining about the horsepower lol. Who buys a Sentra for horsepower. Are y’all dumb?
Buy a GT or SS if you want speed, this is reliability and MPG
I love my Sentra SR! Looks good, rides good and very comfortable seats on long trips! Great video
The styling on this car blows away the other cars in this class! Love the color of this car with the wheels and the black roof! The engine and transmission is a huge let down though, especially since you can’t opt for something better!
10:00 SOLD! Place for 2 frisbees, mirror and toothbrush... bruh it’s a done deal. 😁
Nice review as always man, also a nice sentra the only thing is the horrible CVT and the 2.0 engine besides that i think they did a great job, thanks Joe again for the great review👍🏼
That's what I'm curious the most about. The acutal cvt. They've upgraded the look but what about the crappy cvt?
Lol he parked next to a No Parking sign :)
With how nice the exterior and interior looks, I'd be very interested in a Sentra Nismo!
Did I just find my next car? 🤔
Yes, yes you did 😌
Going to test drive one on Thursday. Hopeful to buy my first car!
Meagan Machado hope you get it! Great value for a car in the segment 👍👍
Did you get it?
I hope you got one!! I have a 2018 and haven’t had a problem. It really is a great car.
@@4lifemusiclova is it reliable? How many miles
@@Therealpeter10 yes! Very reliable. Going on 4 years and haven’t had one problem and I’m almost at 65,000 miles
It's a great looking car. Lots of features for the money. My concern is with the CVT transmission and all of the know problems that people have had. Better to be safe than sorry so I would have to pass. Thanks Joe, you the best reviews.
Great reviewJoe! Sentra seems like a good value. Nice looking ride.
Hey Joe, I hope your 'extended test-drive' with the Sentra with the IRS (independent rear suspension) goes well. It is DEFINITELY A LOOKER!!! 😍😍😍 I test-drove one a month ago. Kudos to Nissan Global on the solid platform and excellent execution!!!
I just bought the SV on Wednesday, I love it. I went from a pearl white altima SR midnight edition. Thought I was going to regret it, but i don't. 35 mpg is awesome
How’s the acceleration?
@@Yurboiisilly2 for a 4 Cylinder, 149 horse. Its not bad
Just needs a dark tint all around the windows and I'm in!
I got my blacked out sentra 2020 😍 i’m so in love with it!!
Joe, please tell them to add a stick.
I actually have so we will see.
@@RaitisRides Thank you
They have manual sentra’s in Canada, it isn’t an option in the US
Never a Jatco CVT
Nismo is manual.
I bought a 2020 Sentra SR with the Premium package and I love love love love it sooooo much! I wish it had more HP but all the the features makes it soo much better. I love my leather seats and of course I used that heated steering wheel all winter. Coming from a 2013 Hyundai Accent with no features I am so impressed. It drives so well in the snow/rain. Like I said only complaint is I wish it had more HP.
I own a '19 Altima SR which is the bigger brother of the Sentra and I can vouch that the new Sentra is worth it. You get so much value for the money and is a very great daily driver. And what I really love is that the styling is not super streamline like an Accord but not boring like the Corolla. Very great buy and recommend it to everyone. (BTW, the CVT is absolutely fine so long as you maintain it correctly. And dont plan on racing with a CVT either way😂)
I'm actually watching this video because I like Nissan and I like the new Sentra design..... but.... for fear of being left out:
"Why does Nissan keep putting CVTs in their vehicles?"
"Don't buy a Nissan because the CVT will need to be replaced after 1000 miles"
"It needs more power"
"They need to make an AWD version"
I think that's about all of them.
Lmao it’s so true it’s insane how many take the time to bash nissans cvt but u watch a Chevy review which scores way lower than Nissan in reliability and there’s not anywhere near as many negative comments, I smell Scotty Kilmer on all these videos
@@sethlittle7338 Let them waste their time I guess. 🤷♂️
J Silver I saw your earlier comments and I’ve also owned many nissans and I love their cvt very smooth hasn’t let me down currently driving a 2019 Altima way smoother than my cousin Camry I drove
I love watching your videos! Thank you
That really means a lot Elaine! Thank you for your support!
this is exciting! I just got myself a 2020 nissan versa sv. i'm a toyota person but i dropped the gun too fast and this is what i ended up leaving the lot with, lol. i like watching these types of videos.
I used to own a 2002 Sentra GXE. I loved that car! It had a 5 speed and was pretty much loaded. Sadly, Nissan's slavish devotion to the CVT kills it for me. I love the way it looks and the interior is really nice, if it could be had with a 5 or 6 speed manual, I'd be all in.
Best design exterior/interior, love the orange & black. If it just had 50hp more I'd buy it tomorrow. Great review.
Good review & great Sentra.
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Saw one today , it's stunning 😍
Thank you joe for doing a review on an excellent nissan with a failure-er jatco cvt engine
That car does look real nice tho
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Thanks for the review, Raiti. I’ll be in the market for a new car in the next six months, or so, and this one is definitely on my short list.
Great review!!!
I've been seeing allot of them in NY lately, this sentra have a wide body look to it.
Nissan actually did a great job with the design and interior. I've looked at a lot of cars in the segment and I think the KIA Forte GT is the best bang for your buck. It has great tech and is turbocharged with good fuel economy. It's starting MSRP is $22,490 with it's 10yr/100k warranty.
I am so glad that you like this one.
I own one and what a fun car. 10k miles and still comfortable and great mpg. Blast to drive.
Love the design, just hope they come out with a turbo so it could compete better with the civic but looks great! Sorry I’ve been inactive Joe, I’ve been busy around the house lately
I totally understand Ethan! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
The pleasure’s all mine Joe!!
I love my 20 Sentra SR very comfortable and the Acceleration is Outstanding 0-60. I raced a Guy in a Automatic Dodge Charger Hemi 5.6L pushing 300+ Hp and won! Also beat a 1.5L 2019 Honda Civic S hatchback. This car really does the job.
Congrats! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Raiti's Rides It was your reviews that lead me to buy one! So Thank You! 🙏🏼 Keep giving awesome reviews and Stay Safe our there! 👍🏼
You out-sprinted a Charger Hemi and a 1.5L Civic? Hmm...Were the other drivers in their cars yet?
@mystixxmusic8135 have you had any mechanical issues?
I have a 2019, and, I think it's a great car for the price.
I am so glad that you like this one!
7:03 good choice, Mr. Raiti.....80s on 8 is the best XM channel hands down 😎
Joe that price isnt bad at all. The design is really nice !
Joe, which do you prefer, the new Sentra, or the new Corolla, all things being equal?
I will definitely go for Jetta GLI
Hhvx Sueus yea for like $8k-$10k more. It doesn’t compare to the Jetta. It compares to the civic and Mazda 3 which the Sentra beats
YOU SOLD ME. GOING TOMORROW TO BUY ONE,THANKS FOR THE DEMO RIDE,YOU SOLD BUD,IM IN 💘 LOVE WITH THAT CAR, WHAT CAN I SAY,DROP THE TACO 🌮, GET IN THE 🚗 CAR!!🤩
I drove this car today, very impressed.
why am I giggling every time he mentions food storage in door pockets, center console etc.."stash some twinkies & fireballs in the armrest!"
Thanks for letting em share some laughs with you Frank!
Looking for a car and as a college student narrowed down between the 2020 Nissan Sentra and the 2020 Toyota CHR. Which would be a better buy? Both are of the same price. Planning to drive the vehicle for the next 6 years!
If they added some speed and power to this thing and got rid of that cvt. No other car in the segment would even compete. Interior is gorgeous.
Matthew Brand see but those are the things keeping it affordable for new drivers which is the main point
Vasperzz I feel you and agree completely but I don’t see any reason even with the cvt that they don’t throw a turbo charged cvt with 175-180 hp, or at least make it an option, similarly to the civic. Civic base is at 160 hp. Price is def a big factor and why it lacks power so we agree there.
Matthew Brand actually the base model Sentra comes with a manual transmission. So they should add a manual nismo edition of this car
Your reviews are great love the content and how you mention Twinkies . So what’s the favorite Twinkie ?
Thanks Tim! I am a simple man and just like original.
I love that color combination, but the CVT ZONKS it right out of the universe.
Nissan and CVT = Run away!! And im a fan of some Nissan vehicles!
Me, too!
You guys runaway! Don't ever buy any Nissan CVTs. Just so you know, these CVTs are more reliable than a Honda based on various reliability reports like CR and JD powers. Watch Alex on Autos so you know what I'm talking about. You're watching top much Scotty Kilmer. Just keep moving your direction. I bet not even one of you has owned any Nissan car.
CVT are sold this year
@@JoeE. I have ever since 2002. I'd rather spend the extra fare and get a Forte GT.
@@JoeE. I completely agree.
Shotput to your wife, rocking the camera, she actually does an amazing job recording your footage
medium teal with green and blue glitter
The car looks great Joe.
I agree on more power and manual but I like the overall look of the car 👊😎👍
I like the review like always keep up the good work!... I do like the Nissan Sentra and it look so much like the maxima.. I just wish they make it a little faster as you suggested.. If they make it closer to 180-190HP this would be selling like when slice bread was invented.. LOL
i love it, i would get the orange, wish they also made it in a bright spring green and a medium dark turquoise
Nice car, love that passenger side camera angle
So stylish! Congrats Nissan
One of the best looking sub compact sedans 👍.
Only Zonk is Nissan needs to make their sedans looks different.
The Sentra, Altima, and Maxima all look alike just larger in size.
Would love to see a few live sit down sessions where you compare some car competitors to each other! Like to the tune of this video maybe sit down and give your opinion on this car vs the Forte, Elantra and Mazda 3. Been waiting on your 'Cup of Joe' talk show! 😉
Thanks Joe,DROP THE TACO 🌮 GET IN THE 🚗 CAR!!!!!🤩
This car is actually a really nice car for the price!
Its actually pretty nice for the cheap price!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@zax7226 No, it isn't a NICE car per say, its a Sentra. But FOR WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR it is a nice car.
Other than the usual reliability questions that go with buying a Nissan, I think this is the best compact sedan on the market. I love everything about this sentra: the styling, the engine choice(including the excellent mileage), the roominess, independent rear suspension - what's not to like???????? Nobody wants to see Nissan stop selling cars, right? So I am so glad to see them make such a nice car! Yeah I kinda want one even though I just bought a Kia Forte(another great sedan by the way).
Very good points!
please how to change climate control temp. from Fahrenheit to Celsius for 2020 Nissan Sentra?
I get this because it looks amazing, and different from all the Corolla's and Civic's out there. Plus if you are getting a new car, you don't have to worry about reliability, everything is taken care of for the first 3 years. Something wrong, drop it off at your dealership and ask and request for a rental car for free.
This sentra is by far the sexiest sentra ever designed. The curves of the body definently mimic a maxima, and the interior looks like something from Mercedes. Excellent job Nissan.
Yes we hear the simulated gears Joe. Do you have to reminds us every time. You get on throttle. LOL!
Protip: Never, ever buy a Nissan car or SUV. Only lease them for at least $5-10k under sticker out the door. Then drop it off at the dealership and *RUN AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE* when the lease is up.
Don't ever take the brand seriously until they get rid of their unreliable CVT.
Thanks for sharing that info.
My mom and I both bought a Nissan vehicle in 2013 and neither of us have had problems (she got an altima, I got a Versa that had been sitting on the lot for almost a year). I think the people complaining about transmission problems arent very good at maintaining their car.
It doesnt matter what it looks like. Even the redesign looks like a Ferrari, if it still carrys a JATCO CVT Transmission then it's just an expensive lawn ornament.
Yep the CVT is pure garbage.
What exact model is this?
Does this car have a voice option for requesting music or only the touch screen. My Ford has Sync where you can say what you want to hear and not be playing with a touch screen. Does this car have that?
This is one SLEEK looking car!!!
Hi Joe one nice looking car, love the color
Hi Sandra ! I am so glad that you like this one!
