Automotive jargon can leave you scratching your head. When it comes to buying a new car, you definitely want to be in-the-know, rather than confused! At Kirkland Nissan, it’s our goal to help you understand everything about your next vehicle. We’re here to unravel some of the mystery.

Take the 2018 Nissan Sentra SV. This fantastic sedan has a number of excellent features, including brake-actuated limited slip differential. While that may sound great, it doesn’t mean a whole lot to most drivers without a bit of an explanation.

In essence, a limited slip differential allows two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but controls the difference between them. When it comes to your car, this means that you’re better protected in the event of snow or other conditions involving less vehicle-to-road friction. If one wheel starts to lose traction, torque to it is reduced. A feature like this can save you the trouble of an accident in many situations.



The Nissan Sentra SV is loaded with great safety technology. Both front and rear tires are of the performance variety for enhanced protection and driving enjoyment. Variable speed intermittent windshield wipers sense the severity of precipitation to keep visibility high. In addition, a passenger airbag sensor gauges the size of your guests and adjusts accordingly.

If this vehicle sounds like it’s right for you, hurry 
in to your Kirkland Nissan dealer. The 2018 Sentra SV is ready for a test drive!
