If you are looking for an affordable commuter car, consider test driving a 2014 Sentra S at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington. This preowned model offers above-class efficiency with its lighter body design and higher EPA ratings, making it a compact sedan that's not only reasonable to buy, but also to own.
Â
Under the hood, the Sentra S is anchored by a 1.8-liter engine, along with Nissan's Xtronic CVT with sub-planetary gear, which delivers a 13 percent improvement in EPA combined fuel economy ratings compared to previous generations. As such, the 2014 Sentra achieves up to 30 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway (or 34 mpg combined), boasting a 415-mile real-world driving range on a single tank.
Â
Other improvements also include a five percent reduction in the 2014 Sentra's overall weight, making the compact sedan up to 150 lbs lighter than previous models. Additionally, it features a more aerodynamic exterior design, which further reduces the Sentra's coefficient drag from 0.34 in 2013 to 0.29 in 2014.
Â
Together with its small engine, enhanced transmission, lighter weight, and clean aerodynamic design, the 2014 Sentra S was engineered with efficiency in mind. To see if this daily driver is a suitable commuter for you, contact us in Seattle, Washington to learn more.
