The Nissan Sentra is a compact car produced by automaker Nissan Motors and is generally a rebadged export version of the Japanese Nissan Sunny. The name "Sentra" is not used in Japan.
In the United States, the Sentra currently serves as Nissan's compact car and the prices range from $15,478 for a base model to $23,478 for a loaded top-of-the-line Sentra. While previous Sentras were subcompact cars, the Sentra has grown over the years, and now the Nissan Versa has replaced the Sentra in the entry-level area, although it is rated by the US EPA as a mid-size car due to its interior volume
Nissan introduced the sixth generation Sentra at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January.[20] Classified as a mid-size sedan by the EPA thanks to its interior passenger and cargo volume of 110 cubic feet[21] (as the EPA considers "mid" or "intermediate" size a car with interior passenger and cargo volume between 110 to 119 cubic feet),[22] the Sentra is bigger in every dimension than the B15 model, being 65 mm (2.3 in.) longer, 91 mm (3.2 in.) wider, and 113 mm (4.0 in.) taller. The wheelbase is also 167 mm (5.9 in.) longer than the previous model.[23] The sixth generation also marked a change in Nissan's North American lineup, with the Nissan Versa becoming brand's entry-level model.[24] This generation is based on the C platform architecture that also underpins the first-generation Nissan Rogue, Nissan Qashqai and also the T31 Nissan X-Trail, as well as other Renault models.
In 2007 and 2008, Nissan considered marketing a hybrid version of the Sentra, particularly when the price of oil rose to over $100 per barrel.[citation needed] However the price soon retreated below $40, and Nissan decided instead to focus on future hydrogen fuel cell and electric vehicles. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has indicated that he will not attempt to match Toyota and Honda in terms of hybrid models offered for retail sale. This decision has left Nissan without a compact Hybrid product to compete with Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic Hybrid, and relaunched Honda Insight. Nissan's only hybrid product on the American market is the Altima Hybrid, which competes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Ford Fusion Hybrid.[25]
Description of Sylvy:
The all-new 2013 Nissan Sylphy made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show. It's a global C-segment sedan that is the same as the upcoming all-new 2013 Nissan Sentra to be launched in the US market this fall.
The Sylphy features a new MR18 engine with new Xtronic CVT transmission, boasting increased fuel efficiency. It is yet to be seen if this engine becomes the base engine for the 2013 Sentra.
