The Sentra is Nissan's fuel-efficient, comfortable entry in the compact sedan class. There are six different trims for this model: the S, FE+ S, SV, FE+ SV, SR and SL. This Nissan Sentra comparison looks at the differences between them. It groups the S and FE+ S and the SV and FE+SV together and looks at the SR and SL separately. This comparison focuses on important features such as performance, fuel economy, price, and interior features.
Nissan Sentra S and FE+ S
The S and FE+ S are the two introductory-level Sentra trims. They both have a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 130 hp. Each also has a manual transmission, but the FE+ S has a continuously variable transmission. With a 40 mpg highway rating, the FE+ S has slightly better gas mileage than the S, at 39 mpg. However, both trims get 30 mpg in the city. The S's starting MSRP is $15,990, while the FE+ S has a starting price of $17,720.
The interior features for the two trims are basically the same. They both have amenities such as electroluminescent gauges, a six-way adjustable driver's seat and an AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers. One important exterior difference is that the FE+ S has a rear spoiler while the S does not.
Nissan Sentra SV and FE+ SV
A rear spoiler is the main difference between the SV and the FE+ SV, with the latter having a rear spoiler and the former being without one. Other than that, these two trims are about the same in this Nissan Sentra comparison. They both have a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 130 hp and a continuously variable transmission.
At 40 mpg, the FE+ SV gets slightly better gas mileage on the highway than the SV does, at 39 mpg. Both trims get 30 mpg in the city. The SV's starting MSRP is $18,030, while the FE+ SV starts at a cost of $18,430. Both trims have an AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers. Their interiors both have chrome accents and seats and door trims with premium cloth.
