- The compact car segment is not dead and for 2024, the #NissanSentra gets a refresh that brings even more #BabyAltima vibes, especially to the #SentraSR trim level. #Nissan gave this latest generation #Sentra full redesign in 2020 and while the company has failed to offer a turbo high performance version again, for those of you looking for a stylish commuter car with premium vibes, its still work a look.

Happy Monday guys! The Nissan Sentra is kind of like the forgotten choice in the compact sedan segment, but it gets some updates this year that make it even more enticing next to some drab looking rivals. We just wish the company would put a turbo or hybrid engine under the hood. Would you choose one over a Civic, Corolla, or Elantra?
Over a civic or Elantra? No
But over a corolla? Absolutely 💯 yes
I'll keep my Civic Type-R lol.
I've been in a Sentra, Corolla, and an Elantra. While the refreshed Sentra for 2024 is welcoming, I'd take the Elantra because of the longer warranty, tech, etc.
It is a $30,000 Nissan Sentra with a CVT and 149 Horsepower. I don't think it's even possible to rip off people more than this. Like, do we need to know more? They could put out 10 iterations of that CVT and I would never trust them again either. Anything with a JATCO component in it is a blacklisted car for me.
Agree 💯 it would make it unforgettable in a hybrid
The sentra, and for that matter Nissan is thecentry point for Japanese brands. Especially since they purchased Mitsubishi. Its okay. They have a place in the market. I have a 2022 pathfinder. It's fine. I know what I got for the price. Perspective please folks. It does what it is supposed to do. Forget the rims. Prop rod? Who cares. The pathfinder has one also. Pay it off in 4 years and keep driving. I'm glad nissan is around. Everybody doesn't have 50-60 grand for a vehicle.
Well said. Personally, I could earn ridiculous amounts of money and I still wouldn't feel comfortable spending 60,000 for a car.
There is really nothing wrong with Nissan, down the road I may consider it with the way prices are going. I currently have a Toyota which I enjoy but I do have a soft spot for Nissan and also my father has the 2024 Sentra model
All these people commenting about HP better not be Subaru Impreza owners!!
Crazy
All these better no b complaining about nutin, it’s a Sentra
While you complain about the lack lf turbo. We applaud it. The sentra is not a sports car, and the more complicated the engine is, the less reliable it is.
would just be an option, you don't have to get it if you don't want to. The previous generation Sentra had a Turbo model, so another one would make sense.
@TheActs2021 it doesn't make sense to have a turbo, the turbo is largely why the CVT grenades so consistently. The R&D department can stay focused on improving without the turbo. 😊
Would be nice to have the Sentra SER return to compete against the Civic Si again.
@kimblem.w9952 it's silly to waste money on such a car when their sentra line is quite successful as is. The Civic Si doesn't sell much as is, and it's known as one of the if not the best sporty yet practical cars on the market
@@Madlux14 it didn't sell well because it got redesigned in the middle of a new car shortage.
You always talk negatively about a prop rod, but I can tell you that as a former technician, I'll take a prop rod over hood struts all day long. A prop rod has never failed on me and caused the hood to hit me on the head.
7.6 is good enough for like 90% of drivers.
That’s the truth - they all drive like Zombies while they’re texting 💬 and scrolling the Phukkin Phones 📱- making THEM and everyone behind them catch every
light 🚥 possible.
They cause traffic snarls and congestion because they WONT ENGAGE
Drove sentra sr today. Not slow like some people said. No problem getting up the freeway ramp. No complaints..
I agree. The ones complaining about it being slow think it's a race car.
Nissan has hit the nail on the head for us that prefer looks, affordability, simplicity of no turbo chargers (less chance of "check engine" lights) and wonderful mpg. If you want all of that, look at the Altima and be ready to pay and maintain much more.
One of the main reasons I bought the 2024 Sentra SR Premium last month. It came more equipped than my 2016 Altima SR. The main reason I got the Sentra was because it's very affordable, and it was an upgrade for me. Personally, it's a mini Altima.
@@marvin7533 Agree Marvin. I don't need fancy. Let the people that want options, maintenance and performance pay for it. Some of us just want simplicity and affordability.
I'd love this simplicity
@@francosamericanmusings1560 Yes. That Honda Civic Hybrid is going to cost around $30,000, too.
I actually like the way these look. If they brought back the SE-R with a good engine, transmission and suspension tuning, it would be a hitl!
True, I’m a big Nissan fan. Imagine if Nissan should bring back the Xterra probably, but in 2015 the Xterra was discontinued.
@@angelscarreviews6094 The return of the Xterra would be a great option too. It was popular. Seems like many brands are redesigning or bringing back rugged options.
100% agree. Especially considering the price point for this model.
@@angelscarreviews6094 tenho um jepp xterra 2006, carro excepcional. Tô querendo adquirir um sentra advance Oi exclusive um abraço amigão Brasil.
Nissan had a 300 hp SE-R Sentra at the auto show that they said may come out if demand is high enough.
I rented the SV version for a week-long business trip recently and I am very very impressed by this car. Unlike the other brands, the exterior design looks very modern yet not overly edgy. I might just buy one as my commute/airport car. Having rented Corolla and Elantra frequently as well, this is is my choice (never seen a Civic for rental). The only weakness is the infotainment display is a tad small and is mounted straight and not tilted/biased towards the driver. Looking at that screen for navigation is not a good experience and it has quite a bit of glare. Everything else is great.
As a Toyota Lexus lover, I’ve always liked the look of the Sentra, especially the SR trim. I just couldn’t stand their past CVT transmissions and the engine is so underpowered. I miss the spec V trim.
Same. Honestly, it’s probably a better quality interior than the Corolla and I really liked it, but in the end I made the same calculation you did and went with a Corolla. Not to mention, resale value is much better on the Corolla.
@@rickm8456 This isn't a car category for people to gamble with their money. Nissan reliability with those CVTs is a non-starter as nice as they may look. You buy compacts to be cost efficient, an unreliable car is not cost efficient.
@@ariescorner7655 but if you’re paying significantly less than a Toyota then the cost difference is unlikely to be consumed with any kind of issues in the Sentra. It’ll be cheaper to keep the Sentra than the corolla because you paid significantly less
The Corolla has a cvt also…
@@caliboyrob That's like saying Insignias are TVs too so therefore they are no different than Sonys. Aisin and Jatco aren't really in the same league. One is literally the best, and the other the worst.
Sentra SR: the car used to get your Altima energy up and finally upgrade to the holy grail..the Nissan Altima!! 😂
Altima? Holy Grail? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@The1realroDon't laugh. For certain demographics, yes the Holy Grail.
@@labradachig1976 lol it's about to be mine. I'm moving down from a Nissan frontier to the Sentra SR but I need to be convinced. I want the Kia forte GT a lot more.
@@labradachig1976and for other demographics, Toyota is the holy grail! 😂😂 could you take a wild guess on what demographic I’m talking about?
@@TreyDarkis Costco shoppers?
We had an Altima in the past which we loved but this was a more affordable second car. Great ride and awesome gas mileage in these days of high priced gas! We don’t even have a 1000 miles on it yet and getting 30-35 mpg mostly around town driving. Highly recommend!
Reviewers: the new Nissan…
Comments: CVT CVT CVT
CVT work great as long as you drive normal. It will.not stand up to drag racing, towing heavy stuff or playing games like burnouts and crap. I had zero problems with my 2015. Unfortunately I got rear ended and they totaled out my car. Looking at this car or the Versa SR.
@@ronhall5395 yeah I'm still driving a 2013 sentra and never had any issues with the CVT
I just got 24’ SV and the CVT I must say is pretty smooth.
Beautiful color exterior interior cool want to get my 19 year old this car it’s nice.
My daughter has the 2023 model in the same model and that bright orange stands out. I have just the base model but I love it.

I’m dying to see the New Kicks SR - trading in my Rogue sport for it
There's videos out already. I don't mind the kicks I had 2019 rouge sport but kicks isn't the rouge. I'm just going to go with the Sentra SR
I think this is best looking in it's class.
Great design
Nissan isn't good at making hybrids and they know it.
However
They can produce some of THE most efficient non-electrified engines.
Also I appreciate Nissan's appreciation of orange.
The Sentra is a great car. My son has a 2023. I have three: 2011, 2013, and 2015.
I had a Nissan Sentra back in 2005 it was great now i want the 2024 Sentra
👍
My wife had a 2005 SER and it was very quick with the 2.5. I almost flipped the dang thing over several times because it didn't have a racing suspension. All the kids wanted to race you as well. It also had the best sound system I've ever heard too, the Rockford Fosgate with the woofer box in the trunk. A lot of guys wanted to buy the car just seeing the woofer box in the trunk. It Nissan put the 2.0T in the Sentra SR that thing would be a rocket. Problem is that it would sell better than the Altima 2.0T SR
I want the new armada, pathfinder and murano! Nissan is showing everything bit those three
What do you mean? The current generation of the Pathfinder came out in 2022. As for the Murano that probably won’t be till fall and the Armada next year.
new? murano? those don’t belong in the same sentence
I have driven most of the competitors in this class and this car is my favorite. Plenty quick enough for real life. If I wanted 400 horsepower I would pony up $50k or more and have a Mustang GT. I don't need that, though.
I have had a 2020 Sentra SV for about 6 months now. My previous car was a Ford Fusion Hybrid. I miss the hybrid MPG, but the Sentra actually goes beyond just being a nice little car, it's actually fun to drive and mine is bright blue and looks great. I look forward to driving it.
Some CVT's may be bad at some point like the Rogue and the Pathfinder, the Sentra has a good combination with the carplay and 149 Horsepower. Also the Nissan Titan needs a redesign.
The Nissan Titan is dead. It’s not going forward after this year.

The horrible Nissan cvts were the ones partnered with Renault.
Mazda 3 all the way buddeh,i would choose the sentra over everything except for the mazda 3,and the elantra.
Hate the new civics and corrola.
I like that there are options out there without turbo or hybrid. I would rather see production cost go down and easier for the home mechanic to work on.
I am not liking this black roof trend. Toyota is into it, I’ve even seen some Teslas with the pillars blackout. It’s like the return of the vinyl top. Great review as always!
Brake torqued acceleration with a CVT is no bueno... going to overheat that CVT unless Nissan has fitted a bigger transmission cooler to the Sentra. 😮 Still prefer the Mazda 3 with a torque converter automatic transmission.... and almost 50 more horsepower
That looks real good
Best color option on sentra, orange/black !!
It really looks good. How is the transmission though?
This face lift is a few steps ahead 3 steps back cuz no more thin led headlights and led fog lights

Altima and Sentra are beautiful
Just bought a 24 Sentra SV Aspen White Tri Coat (pearl, over $400 option) all weather package which includes heated seats and leather wrapped steering wheel, heated mirrors and remote start. ($590 option) full compliment of safety features included rear parking sensors and automatic rear braking, dual zone automatic climate control...and a ton of other stuff for $20443. I added a 100k mile powertrain warranty because it's a cvt.
Honestly I traded a low mileage Tacoma for it because I grew to hate the Toyota. Visibility was horrible, seating position and comfort was horrible, nvh was ungodly bad...but for a 2019 with 50k miles on it, it was the same as it was new (goofy transmission and all).
We own a 2020 Rav4 and it doesn't know the meaning of the word refinement. The engine is loud and brash, the ride stinks, and once again seating position and comfort are terrible. I can't even fit in my daughter's Prius C (I'm 6'5"). I not only fit in a Sentra but I'm comfortable, have great visibility and don't feel smushed.
The auto stop start in my Sentra is seamless and feels like it's from the future compared to the Toyotas. I can't even tell when the engine shuts off half the time. I'm getting 42mpg hand calculated with a 24 mile commute each way traveling rural roads and 10 miles of highway each direction. The ride is smoother than our other vehicles (it has the 16 inch alloys so that helps) and quieter too. My only issue is tire noise from the rear at 70mph, as quiet as the rest of the car is the noise from the rear is a bit annoying. I ordered sound deadening material to line the trunk area with and that should fix it.
So far I love the car, no issues with Bluetooth or Apple Car Play, stereo sounds good,touchscreen is responsive and easy to use. I'd like the better headlights from the SR but even marked down the SR is a couple grand more and I'm too old for the boy racer look. Meh, it's a Sentra, it's fine.
I’m currently in an identical presser. Have been pleasantly surprised.
Sentra SE-R with VC turbo engine? Boys would like that 😏
I really like the color & I will buy this car soon.
Nissan should bring back nismo trim with 6MT. 😊
They can do the SE-R with the 1.5L 3 cyl 201hp/225trq that the rogue has. There is your SI competitor.
That engine is bad blowing up they have a class action lawsuit
Butter chicken orange
If their cvt was more reliant to reaching 200k miles i feel like id love this vehicle. It always feels like its a ticking time bomb, will my tranmission last till 100k?
Also wtf is with the non led turn signals? It cant be that fkn expensive jesus
Needs way more power for that price. If they put the Rogue's turbo engine into this, it would be a lot more interesting.
Agreed. I have the previous generation SR, unfortunately it has 25 HP less, but it was also like 8K less than this one... and my MPG is better than what this new one has
For context, the 1981 Datsun 280ZX Turbo did 0-60 in 7.1 seconds.
What does that have to do with anything? And a z does it in 4.0 seconds now.

The Camrys nowhere near as good as it used to be. The 8th gen imo is peak Camry. And the 9th gen is an abomination
@@naveenthemachine what is it you dont like about the 9th gen?
@@naveenthemachine In what ways are they not as good as before. I know someone with a 2018 one with close to 250k miles on it and has had zero issues with it. I was talking to him recently, and he told me he would only consider replacing it with another Camry.

I love my Nissan Sentra. It is affordable and has a sporty look.
I saw this exact car at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show. And I sat in it. I kinda liked it. It was weight next to a 2024 Nissan Altima SR in a really nice metallic blue, the Altima also had AWD decals on it to advertise its all wheel drive system.
Id blindly take this over the corolla all day long. But not over a civic or k4 Elantra or mazda3 which are the best executed vehicles in the class
Stupid . Corolla will outlive this 4 times
Because Toyota ranks the Lowest on your list, and Nissan is probably the second lowest.

20 years of junk transmissions has ruined Nissan's reputation. I'm surprised that they are still in business.
I had no problems with my so cap 167k miles 2009 Altima still running
My 2016 Nissan Altima SR with 133,000 miles is still running like new. Never had CVT issues. Keep up with the maintenance, and you'll never have issues.
Don’t think these guys read about the lawsuit and settlements . Nissan knew the CVT’s sold were prone to premature failures.
Idk what i dislike more , the color or the rims
Will there be a
SER SpecV trim?
A pretty obvious no. There hasn't been one in many generations, also Sentra's aren't selling as well as they used to a long time ago, so no way to justify a radically upgraded sport trim.
Baby Altima? So, the transmission is going to grenade itself at 40k instead of 80k?
My 19 altima has over 210k miles and 0 cvt issues .
7.6 sec with only a 149 hp gas engine and weighing 3084 pounds makes no sense.
true... my 2001 Nissan Maxima had 222 HP, weighing at 3235 lbs, automatic 0-60 was 7.8 seconds... hmmm...
SR make sportinest , whe need this car turbo and manual!!!! No more CVT NISSAN YOU KILLING THE MARCK💨🪨
I wish they’d bring the manual transmission to the United States. Canada gets a manual version 😢
Does this car have a spare tire or a kit? I didn't hear that mentioned in your video. I looked at a Toyota Corolla LE and the inside of the car was very plain, and it was also a little noisy at higher speeds. Honda Civics usually get the best reviews, but they're also more expensive.
was the Corolla LE fun to drive? or at least easy to drive?
Of course it has a spare. Why wouldn't it?

Don’t be fooled. The Xtronic CVT is the new badging for their troublesome Jatco CVT transmission. Nissan XTRONIC CVT problems have caused a class action lawsuit that alleges the continuously variable transmissions are defective.
The lawsuit alleges the XTRONIC transmissions shake, jerk, have acceleration and deceleration problems, make noise and suffer complete failures.
Does this apply to Nissans Sentra/Altima/Rogue made after 2020?
@@JDMSwervo2001
Are Nissan CVT transmissions good or bad?
While the concept of CVTs are good, in practice they were often plagued with issues. This is particularly true for Nissan, which employs CVT gearboxes across its lineup. These transmissions run into countless issues and are so poorly designed that a class action lawsuit was filed against Nissan.
It depends. My wife's 2011 Rogue had it's CVT replaced twice before 50k miles. My old 2014 Accord (4 cyl) ran for 150k miles with no CVT issues. It's probably still going strong. I sold it 6 months ago.
If you knew what you're talking about you'd know these new CVT are not like the old ones
You're obviously talking about 2013-2019.
I give credit to Nissan for definitely giving us a stylish sedan that is definitely more premium than the previous generations. I’d still take the current Civic because I actually like the interior better and I actually prefer the Civic’s 2.0L engine with 158 HP.
Sentra 2.0 is faster than the Civic lol
Needs the 1.5T from the Rogue as an optional engine for an SE-R version.
Lol for less than 30k I can get a fully loaded Elantra or Forte sport. Or honda sport trim.
Then why are you here.....
Idk man the Elantra and Forte are not as appealing on th exterior
The Sentra SR Premium is fully loaded with a moon roof.
I want this to stay under valued so it can be an affordable car that sells like hotcakes
29k for asentra?lol
Sentra is bigger than Maxima back in early 2000s.
Would it go faster with he smaller rim option?
My neighbor and brother in law had their Nissan’s CVT quite at 100k miles. Nissan has to fix their CVTs
Nissan has. Anything built in that 2020’s should have the improved CVT.
My wife's 2011 Rogue went through two transmission replacements before hitting 50k miles. We got rid a bit later after the warranty ran out.
@Aki_Lesbrinco my neighbors 15 rogue has over 300k moles and no cvt issues

I just bought a 2022 Altima, and this is literally a mini version. It has the same steering wheel, instrument cluster, touch screen, exterior lights, and other details. I love my Altima, but for a compact I would have to look elsewhere.
Change the Cvt fluid ASAP in your Altima
It’s a nice car but why do they cheap out so much with the lights?
All manufactures of sedans need to think Sportback. The rear deck lid needs to henge at the top of the rear glass. In this segment compete with the Buick Envista and Chevy Trax.
Hey I’ve been watching your reviews for a while and I got the itch to give this car review thing a try! If you could do me a solid and give me a list of all the equipment you use
The Mazda 3 is definitely the best in the class but this is a good option over a Corolla for sure.
From someone who has access to both Corolla and Sentra, the Sentra seats are more comfortable compared to Corolla, the only thing Corolla has the advantage over the Sentra is the adaptive cruise control
Would you you guys pick the 2024 SE Camry or this?
Nope
I'd trade that Bose speaker system for a power folding side mirror.
