2 Reasons to Consider a Nissan Sentra as Your First Car

2 Huge Reasons a Nissan Sentra is a Good First Car to Buy

The two biggest reasons you may want to consider a Sentra as your first car are affordability and safety features. The Sentra has both in spades, making for an excellent value for those looking to buy a vehicle on their own for the first time. Let’s break down each of these categories, so you can see how they each add value to the Sentra.

Affordability

The 2020 Nissan Sentra comes in three trims: S, SV, and SR. The Sentra S starts at $19,090, the SV at $20,270, and the SR at $21,430. Each has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s paired with a CVT. Thanks to that powertrain combination, every Sentra has a 29/39/33 MPG spread. If you have a long commute or one that’s mostly on the highway, you’ll rarely have to stop at the pump to fill up. The 2020 Sentra is easy on the wallet when it comes to sticker price and operating costs.

Safety Features

Every Sentra comes with a plethora of safety features. The base model S comes with forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera are also standard. The SV gets adaptive cruise control, while the SR adds a surround-view parking system and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
