Is it time to upgrade from a one-car family to two? A 2017 Nissan Sentra S is the perfect complement to any driveway with its fuel-efficient powertrain and protective features, which have helped the sedan earn a coveted Top Safety Pick from the IIHS.
All 2017 Sentras are equipped with antilock brakes and stability control for a composed and safe ride, while front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags offer added protection in a crash situation. Running on a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 130 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque, this sedan delivers reliable performance that’s well-matched to a continuously variable automatic transmission for solid fuel economy. With this combination, you can expect a city/highway rating of 29/37 mpg, which practically encroaches on hybrid efficiency.
Inside the cabin, the S trim boasts both quality-of-materials and construction to keep your family safe and comfortable. Standard features include air-conditioning, a height-adjustable driver's seat and 60/40-split folding rear seatbacks, as well as cruise control and Bluetooth phone connectivity for your convenience. Around back, the trunk is spacious with 15.1 cubic feet of storage, which is suitable to carry everything from groceries and strollers to luggage for a weekend getaway.
