There’s no denying that what’s beneath the hood of the 2018 Nissan Sentra is enough to launch this tried-and-true commuter into a league all its own. This vehicle truly delivers to Seattle drivers a caliber of power typically reserved for speed demons and sports car enthusiasts only.
But enough idle chit-chat. We’ll let the stats help you decide. With a 1.6-L direct-injection engine capable of 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, expect tasks like passing on the freeway to seem like a simple walk in the park. With its exhaust-gas recirculation system and low-inertia turbocharger, the Sentra is able to maintain this impressive agility without strain.
Equipped with Nissan’s Xtronic® CVT transmission, the 2018 Sentra is capable of hitting an extremely wide range of gear ratios— suited for, say, a tricky grade that's too steep for 3rd and too shallow for 4th. What’s more, the system provides some of the smoothest shifting ever, with no drop in power whatsoever between speeds. Not to mention a setup like this keeps mileage at a comfortable combined 29 mpg. An efficient engine is a happy one!
