2010 Nissan Sentra

For 2010, Sentra is offered in six trim levels: 2.0, 2.0 S, 2.0 SR (with sporty exterior styling features), 2.0 SL and two performance-oriented models, SE-R and SE-R Spec V.

Sentra 2.0 models feature a standard 140-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a fuel-efficient Nissan Xtronic CVT on all models except the Sentra 2.0, which is offered in a choice of CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission.

All 2010 Sentras receive revised headlights and taillights, while the 2.0, 2.0 S and 2.0 SL feature new grille and front fascia designs. Three new exterior colors are also offered -- Anodized Orange, Espresso Black and Aspen White.

Inside, Sentra offers revised seat cloth and door trim and the instrument panel accents and illumination have been revised. Other major changes for 2010 include the separation of leather seating into an optional package on the Sentra 2.0 SL model and the addition of new Technology and Navigation Packages for the SL model. In addition, the Convenience Package is added as an option for the 2.0 SR model and the Sentra 2.0 SL adds standard Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Control System.

Wheel designs have also been revised for 2010, with new 16-inch wheel covers (2.0 S) and new 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (2.0 SL). Sentra is again available with a range of unexpected amenities -- ranging from the luxury of leather-appointed seating to the convenience of Nissan's Intelligent Key keyless entry system.
