The Nissan Sentra has a lot of history and a lot of style. But for some reason, this compact sedan seems to get overlooked in favor of the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Clifford Atiyeh test drives a 2022 Sentra SR to find out why that might be.

0.32 -> the last time i drove a nissan center it was
almost two years ago to the day now everything
5.92 -> has changed since then except the nissan center
it's the same as it was when it was brand new in
11.04 -> early 2020. i still think it looks sharp drives
pretty well and offers a lot for little money for
17.6 -> 2022 the base price is barely even 500 more than
what it was two years ago now in 2022 think about
24.64 -> all the other things you're paying for that cost a
lot more to help you spend your hard-earned money
30.08 -> subscribe to cargurus and watch my earlier center
review if you're feeling a little nostalgic about
34.64 -> way back when new for 2022 is the midnight
edition this isn't it i thought it was but
41.04 -> the only things this sentra doesn't have are
the black spoiler badging a rear black bumper
46.24 -> and black front grille trim that's
okay because it's really slick as it
50.16 -> is and this car has more options it's loaded for
just over 27 thousand dollars with destination
57.04 -> this is the top sensor trim it's the sr you can
tell by the fog lights the bigger wheels now these
62.32 -> 18-inch black wheels excuse me they're a little
bit muddy today it's very icy but when they're
66.64 -> clean they look really nice they're also available
on the midnight package that's new for 2022.
71.52 -> what you get on the sr you can get a two-tone
roof i think that's pretty cool nissan has done
76.24 -> floating roof designs like this for a while and
on an entry-level compact car you don't really
81.12 -> see that it's a nice finish it really adds to
the overall stance this car is wider and lower
86.64 -> than it used to be and it makes it look a lot more
substantial than the smaller versa sedan so that's
91.68 -> why you should get one of these especially the
front nissan's doing a great job with the v-motion
96.72 -> grille that you see there it looks great it's even
darkened with the nissan bats with that adaptive
101.28 -> cruise i like that versus being super shiny it's
kind of stealthy and these led lights super bright
108.32 -> now check out the side peek at the rear it's a
good looking compact car in every way the last
115.04 -> generation center it looked dumpy and kind of
frumpy this sentra is smart confident and proud
120.32 -> of itself and there's 14 cubic feet of trunk space
that's big for a small car now let's go inside
128.16 -> it's all black it might seem basic but the
more you sit here the more you appreciate all
132.32 -> the details that make you comfortable let's start
with the seats they're called zero gravity because
137.36 -> nissan's designed them in a way to alleviate
strain on the body they're in all the cushions
141.92 -> and it works the steering wheel really nice it's
got a flat bottom it's leather wrapped it's soft
147.44 -> the dash the stitching the contrasting it's great
the vent in the switch design is actually upscale
152.72 -> and even this faux carbon trim it looks convincing
the driving position is low yet there's plenty of
159.04 -> visibility there's room for four i mean actual
room for four this is why you get a sentra over
164.48 -> the little versa now there's also rear side air
bags it's a safety feature you almost never see in
169.68 -> any car and there's two knee airbags up front 10
airbags in total in this car the things you still
175.76 -> can't get on the new sentra wireless charging
this pad is here it's nice doesn't do anything
181.12 -> there's no factory navigation and there's
no pro pilot there's a blank switch here on
185.04 -> the steering wheel when on other nissan models
that are upgraded you get pro pilot that is the
190.08 -> semi-automated driving assistant that works really
well there's not even lane centering here but i do
195.12 -> appreciate nissan keeping the price low that's why
these features aren't here but still for people
199.84 -> who want to pay i think it'd be nice to have apple
carplay android auto they require a wire it's not
206.16 -> a terrible thing there's also a usb c port here
if you need the only problem is the cameras
211.12 -> 360 degree cameras are nice nissan was one of the
first non-premium manufacturers to give us that
216.16 -> but they look really fuzzy we're talking like vga
old webcam kind of fuzzy so that could be improved
222.24 -> however dual zone climate is also nice in
a car like this it works really nicely and
226.48 -> the controls feel good my favorite of course
is this heated steering wheel man that feels
231.6 -> great on cold winter mornings and of course
a bose stereo eight speakers on this sr trim
238.88 -> it's really easy to choose a sentra because it's
only one engine powertrain to choose from it's
244 -> a two liter inline four naturally aspirated 149
horsepower 146 pound-feet of torque front-wheel
251.44 -> drive and a continuously variable transmission
that's it now even though the power on this engine
259.28 -> is less than my 23 year old volvo it moves just
fine the cvt is programmed well enough that
267.04 -> even without paddle shifters it keeps up with
traffic you don't have a problem with the revs
273.6 -> going too high nissan's actually been good because
i complain a lot about cbts because they tend
279.44 -> not to put you in the right power band
for performance driving but in this car
284.72 -> you're not about performance there's nothing
performance minded about it and that's okay
290 -> because it gets up to speed i've taken it on some
long distance drives to new york and massachusetts
295.12 -> and i'm pleasantly surprised with just how
refined it is pretty quiet the engine's not
299.6 -> very buzzy no you don't get a lot of power but
you do get a lot of fuel efficiency it's 29
305.6 -> city 39 highway and 33 combined on everything but
the sr which is a little bit lower but who cares
313.84 -> that's huge numbers for a car that's not a hybrid
and for a car that's starting around twenty
319.12 -> thousand dollars it's not a big outlay either
that's not to say it wouldn't want more power
324.4 -> because in the rogue nissan has brought their one
and a half liter turbo that makes 201 horsepower
330.4 -> that would fit just fine in here and i think
this would be a great car to bring back the nismo
335.12 -> name that they used to have they used to have
manuals now you can't get everything i understand
339.04 -> that that's not going to be a volume model but
honda civic si i just drove that check out the
344.64 -> review you'll find that that has the same kind
of power same kind of performance nissan could
349.92 -> go right back into that game and i think they
deliver a pretty strong performance the dynamics
356.24 -> are impressive this is supposed to be a basic
entry-level car it's one up from the smaller
361.52 -> versa sedan but this car just feels planted it
looks sporty on the outside it actually is sporty
367.84 -> on the inside and the chassis as it stands is
good they have an independent rear suspension
373.6 -> overall it's pretty good actually i'm i'm
in 18 inch wheels right now and that means
378 -> they look pretty but they're a little flintier
with the rise a little rougher i was just driving
382.72 -> through new york city with this car and even
though i was kind of zipping through the lanes
386.88 -> like a city taxi driver it definitely crashed
over some bumps and you could definitely feel it
392.8 -> the sensor i drove two years ago had 16 inches
and that kind of diameter tire is gonna soak up
399.04 -> the bumps a lot better so you'll lose some style
but the rye quality is definitely improved with
405.04 -> smaller tires the seats are really comfortable
nissan calls them zero gravity that's just the
410.48 -> engineering they use to basically design the
cushions and to alleviate the stress on the body
416.16 -> that's marketing speak but driving this for hours
on end i do feel pretty comfortable other type
422.24 -> of cars they'll put you know you get these like
pains and your thighs maybe i'm just sounding old
426.8 -> but that happens to us old people you get older it
doesn't get easier in a car it gets harder so why
432.48 -> not be comfortable you don't need to be driving
an infinity or any other type of luxury car
437.6 -> to get good seats you get them right here in this
nissan sentra the instrument panel display has all
442.32 -> the customization and information that you'll need
and there's standard emergency forward braking and
447.84 -> rear braking blind spot monitoring auto high beams
lane departure it's all there the 2022 sentra
454.64 -> starts at 19 510 there's three trims s sv and sr a
couple option packages it's simple to order my sr
463.52 -> was loaded for 27 270 and represents a pretty good
value however you can get a honda civic si for the
470 -> same price or volkswagen jetta gli those sedans
drive way better and have more tech at a mid-level
476.8 -> price around 24k the sentra is harder to beat even
next to a regular civic a corolla or the elantra
484.32 -> i like the center because things don't get very
complicated here it doesn't get too expensive
488.96 -> and it gives people what they want and what they
need i think there could be a little bit more
494 -> wanting in the centra perhaps the turbocharged
engine in the rogue the pro pilot driving assist
499.52 -> this car can actually afford to be a little bit
more expensive and i think that would make the
503.92 -> center even better but as it stands it's really
competitive even two years into its lifespan i
509.28 -> like this car what do you guys think subscribe
