Striking Design That Stands Out in the City

The 2025 Sentra commands attention with its bold exterior and low, wide stance. The signature V‑Motion grille and sleek LED headlights give it a modern, confident look. On the SR trim, you’ll find exclusive touches like 18-inch alloy wheels, sport side sills, a rear spoiler, and optional two-tone paint that adds flair to every commute.

Efficient, Responsive Performance

The Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter direct-injection 4-cylinder engine producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Paired with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT, it delivers a smooth ride and an EPA-estimated 30 MPG city / 40 MPG highway—perfect for Chicago’s stop-and-go traffic or longer trips down I‑55. Sport Mode and Eco Mode let you customize your drive to match your lifestyle.

Comfort-First Cabin With Practical Versatility

Inside, the Sentra provides thoughtful comfort with Zero Gravity front and rear seats designed to reduce fatigue. With 44 inches of front legroom and 14.3 cu ft of trunk space, the cabin feels open and functional. Higher trims offer premium details like quilted leather seats, carbon-fiber-look trim, and a D-shaped steering wheel. Remote engine start with Intelligent Climate Control makes Midwest winters easier.

Smart Technology at Your Fingertips
