Nissan’s 2019 Sentra sedan is one car with multiple missions. At the lower end, it’s a bare-bones economy car delivering good fuel economy and a small price tag. Move lớn the middle trims, and you’ll find a surprisingly well-equipped sedan every bit as attractive as the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, or Toyota Corolla. At the high-end of the Sentra’s price range are two pocket-rocket trims, both equipped with a 188-horsepower turbocharged engine. The SR Turbo and NISMO include a sport-tuned suspension, with the NISMO also offering an available 6-speed manual transmission.

The Sentra S is the least expensive Sentra and comes standard with the same 124-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine used in all, but the Turbo and NISMO trims. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, although we imagine most of the 2019 Sentra S models will have the optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
As entry-level trims go, they don’t get more basic than the Sentra S. Standard equipment includes 16-inch wheels with full covers, automatic on/off halogen headlights, power side mirrors, and variable wipers. A somewhat old-fashioned cài đặt, rear drum brakes further expose Nissan’s cost-cutting measures.
You’ll find cloth seats in the cabin and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with buttons for audio, Bluetooth, and cruise control. The Sentra S includes a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, power door locks, remote keyless entry, and power windows with a one-touch up/down driver’s window.

Opt for the CVT, and the S gains a 5-inch driver information display.

The system includes Bluetooth music streaming, a hands-free text messaging assistant, and Siri Eye’s Miễn phí voice recognition.

In addition lớn a full complement of airbags, the Sentra S comes standard with traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes, and a tire-pressure monitor. Other safety systems include a rear backup camera, emergency inside trunk release, and automatic emergency braking (requires CVT).
Options for the S are limited lớn 16-inch alloy wheels and a rear spoiler (requires CVT automatic).
Who is the trim màn chơi for? The S trim’s basic package appeals lớn buyers on a tight budget, unconcerned with fancy options or an advanced driver-assist system. The S also might appeal lớn manual transmission fans, which, given how few young people today know how lớn drive a stick, might be the best anti-theft device available.

Advanced driver-assists such as automatic emergency braking, Active Understeer Control, and adaptive cruise control are absent, as is a blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
