Sentra S features
The Sentra S is a lot of car for the money. It’s got equipment you wouldn’t think would be available in car for this price. For example, there’s smart auto headlights, dual power side mirrors, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, a drive computer with outside thermometer, cruise control with illuminated steering-wheel-mounted controls, USB port for iPod or other devices and a tire pressure monitoring system. It’s a heck of a value and one of our most popular models.
Sentra SV features
Upgrading to the SV trim brings a surprising amount of additional equipment without too much of a hit to your bank account. The big one is the Xtronic CVT. This continuously variable transmission actually improves the gas mileage significantly. That could save you big bucks down the road. You also get active understeer control, NissanConnect with mobile apps, hands-free texting, Siri eyes-free, rearview monitor, the 5-inch drive-assist display for the driver, intelligent key with push-button start, premium cloth seat trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel, satellite radio, more speakers and too much other stuff to list. That’s a huge upgrade and well worth it!
