Year Long Test of the Nissan Sentra

For the last year, the 2020 Nissan Sentra has been put to task by the car pros at MotorTrend . They put this powerful little beast of a car through the wringer to find out how it held up under stress, performed on the road, and felt while putting it to the test in any condition they could find.

At Nissan of New Port Richey, we are excited to share some of the highlights of MotorTrend’s year-long test of the 2020 Nissan Sentra with you!

The overall consensus of this massive undertaking is that it holds up to what you throw at it with quiet proficiency. But, of course, this comes after driving it for over 2,000 miles, from daily drop-offs at school to road trips for the weekend.

Solid Gas Mileage

When it comes to having a car, you can depend on for your daily commute to not cost you a massive fortune in gas, the Sentra holds up. During a typical workday and errands commute, MotorTrend found that the Sentra logged a best-tank mpg of 27.9 and a worst of 24.3. With an average of 26 mpg, that’s not too far off the EPA’s estimated 29 mpg in city driving conditions.

Test Track Highlights

Every car needs to go through the wringer on the race track, and MotorTrend doesn’t disappoint with doing just that. When they put the rubber to the road with the Sentra, they discovered the comfortability of the 149-horsepower inline-four engine. With an 8.6 second 0-60-mph time, they won’t be on the starting line for NASCAR, but it still places second behind Honda Civic’s time.

A Solid Take Home Car

After being put through the test on the track, MotorTrend took the Sentra back to the daily routine. Where it proved to be a comfortable and reliable car that handles its business with simplicity, comfort, and style.
