2020 Nissan Sentra: A big step forward

The Nissan Sentra, redesigned for the 2020 model year, has a more upscale design and is filled with technology to stand out and better compete in the mass-market compact segment. The Sentra, which goes on sale this month, is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that delivers 149 hp, up 19 percent from the current generation's 1.8-liter engine. Riding on a new platform, the 2020 model introduces a new independent rear suspension to improve ride, handling and fuel economy. Dual-pinion-rack electric power steering, also a first for the model, improves steering feel and maneuverability. Here's a roundup of Sentra reviews from the automotive media.
