One of the traps that’s easy to fall into when reviewing cars is to flatter the redesigned car in comparison with the older model. Sometimes something is improved and competitive again, but little more. I was aware of this potential trap when stepping into the redesigned 2020 Nissan Sentra because the outgoing Sentra generation was … not good.

Not to speak too ill of the dead, but there wasn’t much of a case to be made for the Sentra; a subpar driving experience, awkward styling and a lack of safety features on lower trim levels will do that. The new Sentra seems not only to have fixed those problems, it also swings the needle back in the other direction — the 2020 edition is not just improved, it’s good.

How It Drives

The Sentra rides on a new platform with a new engine under the hood, and we’ll start with what works well: the platform. The first thing I noticed when the Sentra got moving was sterling ride quality. Seriously, it glides along the road and even hitting every bump I could find on Malibu, Calif.’s well-paved roads failed to upset it. And it doesn’t just ride comfortably, it also feels sharp in curves. A multilink independent rear suspension, replacing the old semi-independent torsion beam, is very much a change for the better.

The canyon roads near the Pacific Coast Highway provide a challenging environment for any vehicle, but the Sentra held up well. Body roll is controlled and even when pushed, the nose turns in quickly and the rest of the car marches in sync. Helping this along is a good dose of steering feedback: The wheel has proper weight and does an excellent job of communicating what the front wheels are doing. It’s a shocking turn of events for a car that used to be sloppy and unpleasant in this regard.

Less successful is the powertrain, though I don’t think it’s the fault of the new engine, a 149-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder. This isn’t a ton of power, but neither is the Sentra a large vehicle, and it has enough hustle to get by. The problem is getting to the power, with the standard continuously variable automatic transmission in the way.

Because this is a naturally aspirated engine rather than what we’ve come to expect from a direct-injection turbocharged one, it doesn’t really get going until you hit around 3,500 rpm. And not only does the transmission take its sweet time getting you there, it also doesn’t want to stay at those higher revs. The Sentra also lacks any sort of more aggressive drive mode that could alter the throttle mapping and transmission behavior to help out (there’s an eco mode, but that isn’t helping anyone). There were multiple instances on the road where I got a little frustrated, as I know that the rest of the car was ready to really power through a corner and the powertrain fell right on its face.

Nissan would not say if the Sentra would be offered with a more robust turbocharged engine, or if a performance-oriented NISMO version is on the way. I actually hope to see both this time on the Sentra, because the car’s great balance and steering are ready for it.

Improved Interior

I tested the highest two Sentra trim levels, SV and SR, which were also equipped with their respective Premium packages. That meant tan, quilted leather seats in the SV and imitation leather with orange accents in the SR. There didn’t feel to be much of a quality gap between the top trim levels when equipped with the Premium Package, and they seemed nice enough upon first inspection to be class-competitive. Without that package, there are some notable omissions — heated front seats don’t come standard on any of the Sentra models, nor does a powered driver’s seat (a powered front passenger seat isn’t available, period).

A 7-inch touchscreen is standard, but both the SV and SR get the 8-inch touchscreen that adds Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. These are crucial additions because the Nissan multimedia system is pretty simple, yet at the same time unintuitive — it’s a car I’d plug my phone into each time I drove it. There is also now a USB-C port up front for futureproofing, though once again in SV and SR only.

The new Sentra is 2.2 inches wider than the outgoing vehicle, but it’s also 2.0 inches lower, which does cut a bit into backseat headroom. There was plenty of legroom for my 5-foot-11 frame to fit behind my driving position, but it’s on the edge of what would be called acceptable headroom. If I were any taller or sat up straight, my head would brush against the ceiling.

Safety Features Come Standard

The Sentra also adds value by stretching its safety technology downward in its lineup. All Sentras come with what Nissan calls Safety Shield 360, and it includes both forward and reverse automatic braking, blind spot warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams. The reverse automatic braking is notable, as no competitors offer that feature standard.

The SV and SR trims add adaptive cruise control, which works down to a stop. But once the car comes to a complete stop, it releases the brake, so it’s not a true low-speed or traffic-friendly system. Also note that the Sentra doesn’t come with any sort of lane keep assist, just warnings, so you’ll have to handle all the steering on your own.

The SR also adds a 360-degree camera system as part of its Premium Package.

Competitive Pricing

The 2020 Sentra keeps things pretty simple with three trim levels (S, SV and SR) and two option packages. That’s it. The Sentra S starts at $20,015 followed by the SV at $21,195 and the SR at $22,355 (all prices include destination charges). Tacking on the Premium Package bumps the SV up to $23,655 and the SR to $24,525.

This places the Sentra within the normal range for this class, close to competitors like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. But both of those cars get much more expensive at their top trim levels than the Sentra SR, which is a bit of a bargain with the Premium Package. On the other hand, those competitors offer more engine and transmission options than the Sentra does — at least currently — and are more engaging to drive as a result.

Otherwise, a return to form in a big way for the Sentra gives Nissan quite a one-two sedan punch along with the super-affordable Versa, which was also redesigned for the 2020 model year. Much has been made of the demise of the sedan, but Nissan is testing that theory. Perhaps the way to buck the trend is to build better sedans, and Nissan has done it twice now.

  • I have owned this car for 2 years.

    I have owned this car for 2 years. I bought it used with like 7000 miles on it. Wasn't long before the Gremlins started showing up. In the two years I have owned it, the wiring harness for the steering column has been replaced the wiring harness behind the dash has been replaced the driver's side window switch has been replaced the infotainment system has been replaced they have recalibrated the collision avoidance system they replaced the tie rod ends the sonar module in the rear has been replaced and know they are replacing the sensor on the right rear of car. I have been very patient with the dealer but really am at my wits end. More than likely I'm going to trade it in but will stay clear of Nissan. I do want to say John Sisson Nissan has been easy to work with and have accommodated me through this process I don't in any way blame them.

  • So stylish it's dangrous

    This car is made to be a good looking modern version of the older sentra model. However, the performance is lacking compared to other economical sedans because in certain driving environements other cars will drive fastly past the car making it somehow dangerous to drive around.

  • My first Sentra and hopefully my last.

    I went from a Honda Civic to a 2020 Sentra and I wish I hadn't. I live in Nova Scotia and the backup camera is exposed so I can barely use it as the lens is always dirty. Even when the camera lens is clean the view is not nearly as clear as the view I have with my 2020 Ford Ranger. The sensors go off without reason and lock the brakes up and sometimes the radio won't even turn on. The car is beautiful to look at, inside and out, but I'll definitely not be buying another. My Step Daughter bought a 2020 Civic a week after I bought my Sentra and she got much more value for the money than I did and we paid the same price!!

    12k miles and I got all the locks replaced, the back up camera, the transmission reprogramed and the brakes check beside the recall, don't buy this vehicle, is problematic, beside that the emergency brake goes off without a reason! Be aware!

  • Somewhat reliable but fell out of love with it

    I first fell in love with the car. Loved everything about it. But after driving it for a few months, the engine is loud, the CVT is terrible when it comes to braking, because it is a small car and not a lot of weight, it does slide in snow easily. With the transmission it uses gears that shift down while breaking and you can feel that. So it feels like it jerks to a stop or sometimes surges for, making you have to brake harder to stop. On top of that the emergency brake sensor gets triggered often, even when nothing is in front of the car. I would be driving and out of no where the emergency breaks will be apply. I’ve taken it in multiple times to my Nissan dealer and it took them 5 times to tell me about the CVT transmission. And Nissan knows about the issue but will not do anything about it.

  • Noisy/Stiff/Brake issues

    Purchased this car for Nissan's reputation and the styling of the '20 Sentra. The car has noticeable engine noise, touchy collision avoidance system (screeched the car to half after detecting bright white crosswalk markings) and drives stiff and heavy like a tank. The brakes have consistently screeched and made a rubbing sound. It has been returned to the dealer three times. Brake pin became loose, brake plate rubbing against rotor and the final time I was told the rotors have a "glaze" on them when the leave the factory. This "glaze" is causing a screech sound when the brakes are applied and the pads make contact. Yeah, ok. Just got it back yesterday from service. We will see what happens. Overall disappointed in this car. My first Nissan and I am confident it will be my last.

  • Great car

    I use to have a Nissan Versa and didn't like it at all compared to the Sentra I now have. The Sentra is very spacious and rides like a gem. The features are great, decent stock speakers, great interior, touchscreen radio, backup camera, etc. It gets really great gas mileage as well! Overall 9.8/10 on this car for me. The only downside is I couldn't wait to buy it, so I kinda feel I over paid a little. However, I know this car will last me a very long time and it's the best investment I could make for a car that I really wanted.

  • I've never owned a nicer car. It's new, a 2020.

    This car is sporty and classy. I love the body style. It has lots of leg room. It drives really smooth. I love the leather seats and red pin stripes.
