New for 2016, Nissan has added a Blue Pearl exterior color. The SR model features more sporty options with unique 17-inch forked, five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, foglights, side sill extensions, a rear spoiler with an integrated LED brake light, and a chrome exhaust tip finisher. The entire Sentra lineup features chrome door handles and window accents along with available heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals.
Inside, consumers will find an updated design, starting with the steering wheel that draws inspiration from the Nissan 370Z. The automaker now offers a six-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support on the base SV and SR models, and it comes standard on the SL. The Sentra also features a new center stack design and an updated center console and shift knob, and the seats are wrapped in more upscale fabric.
The infotainment system utilizes a TFT-type LCD flat panel display with better resolution. All models will also receive a 5-inch Advanced Drive-Assist display located between the tachometer and speedometer. New features for the 2016 model year include a soft-touch instrument panel and door armrest. Leather-appointed seats are available, as is a Bose premium audio system, keyless entry and push-button start, a rearview monitor, and dual-zone climate control.
The 2016 Nissan Sentra will be powered exclusively by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed manual transmission on the S model; other models also have the option of an Xtronic transmission with a sub-planetary gear. The updated engine and the CVT system give the Sentra better fuel efficiency. The suspension has also been tuned to provide better handling with a 10 percent increase in spring and damper rates.
For 2016, the Sentra features more safety technology, including NissanConnect Services. This system offers emergency preparedness, remote access, customizable alerts, and more through a SiruisXM subscription. Siri Eyes Free Voice Recognition is also new for the model year and comes standard on the SV, SR, and SL models. For the first time, the Nissan Sentra will now offer available forward emergency braking, intelligent cruise control, blind-spot monitor, and rear cross traffic alert.
The 2016 Nissan Sentra will make its official debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show before hitting dealers next year with a starting price of $17,605, including destination charges.
