The Sentra is powered by a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine that produces 140HP at 5100 RPM. A rarity for this class of cars is the standard 6-speed manual transmission, a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is the only available automatic option and the highest end SL model is available with only an automatic CVT.
Moving from the 2006 to 2007 remodel and upgrade, the Sentra underwent an upsizing. Overall the car isn't much bigger than its predecessor, however inside the Sentra is one of the top in class for interior space. Passenger space is 97.4 cubic feet with 13.1 cubic feet of storage in the trunk. The rear seats are 60/40 foldable, meaning they can be folded forward to create a flat space to dramatically increase storage capacity. Nissan has also included a large amount of storage compartments for convenience, one of which is the Divide 'N Hide capability in the trunk which allows for a removable wall to split the trunk into two separate spaces (base model not included).
Nissan has included many safety features standard. Six airbags (including side curtain and side front), active head restraints and a tire pressure monitoring system. However, anti-lock brakes are only available as an option for 2.0 and 2.0S and comes standard on only the 2.0SL trim.
