Records were made to be broken. This is the mantra that drives Nissan - with every milestone eclipsed and every profit boundary passed. Expectations should never be met but, instead, exceeded.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the 2018 Sentra has fully embraced this philosophy.
According to Nissan, the Sentra delivered exceptional sales last month - earning 25,123 total units. This easily surpassed the 2017 tally (21,960 total units) and yielded a 14.4% year-to-year increase. It also pushed the sedan’s annual numbers past 60,000 and set a pace for a record-breaking quarter.
What caused this sedan surge? The Kirkland team believes the Sentra’s economy proved impossible to resist - with its 1.8L four-cylinder engine delivering up to 29 MPGs in the city and 37 MPGs on the highway. The tight compression ratio (9.9:1) ensures effective fuel distribution, blending smooth direct ignition technology with continuously variable cam timing. A six-speed manual transmission allows drivers to control every gear ratio; while speed-sensitive electric-power steering offers crisp handling and reduces turn radius friction.
All of these elements combine to ensure class-leading economy - branding the 2018 Sentra ideal for pump-weary drivers.
