The all-new 2020 Nissan Sentra is 100% improved over the previous generation. Trim levels available are S, SV, and SR. Some accessories are available at an extra-cost like certain paint colors, and Premium option packages for the SV and SR trim levels, what you see is what you get. It’s a great drive and I encourage you to take one out on a test drive.
Some of the great safety features include:
Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of six advanced driver-assist systems, is standard on all 2020 Sentra grade levels. Nissan Safety Shield 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking. Sentra also features standard Rear Door Alert, 10 supplemental air bags and Intelligent Driver Alertness.
