Move aside, the Mazda 3 and the Hyundai Elantra – there’s an even better option for Seattle preowned shoppers. If you are seeking a spacious and comfortable compact sedan, the 2016 Nissan Sentra SV will not disappoint.
Â
Running on a 1.8-liter I-4 engine, the Sentra is rated for 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. According to Motor Trend, it comes paired to a continuously variable transmission that uses a D-mode step shift program, which allows for a more natural acceleration feel. Fuel economy on this model is incredible too, delivering 29 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. That is almost as good as a hybrid powertrain, but without the added fuss.
Â
Inside, the Sentra is surprisingly roomy, boasting one of the largest interiors in its class with 111 cubic feet of total volume. This is due to the vehicle’s longer 106.3-inch wheelbase, which provides 37.4 inches of rear seat legroom and a large trunk capacity of 15.1 cubic feet. The 60/40-split folding back seat also offers added versatility when you need more space.
Â
The SV trim is equipped with notable standard features as well, like Nissan’s Intelligent Key and a rearview monitor. Staying connected to friends and family is also easy with the Sentra’s hands-free text messaging assistant.Â
