1. Engine

The cornerstone of the Sentra performance ability is the 2.0L four-cylinder engine, which provides a maximum output of 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. The engine that you find under the hood of the 2024 Sentra is ideal for a compact car with sporty performance power, since this engine provides a balanced energy output. 

2. Fuel Economy

The Sentra S, the base model, has a fuel economy perfect for commuters, whether you have a long or short daily drive. This sedan gets an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city, 40 MPG on the highway, and 34 MPG combined on S and SV trims. The Sentra has a 12.4-gallon fuel tank capacity, which means a full tank will take you far. 

3. Independent Suspension

Both the front and rear suspension of the 2024 Sentra are independent, with coil springs over shock absorbers. The front suspension has an independent strut, while the rear suspension has an independent multi-link construction. An independent suspension allows each wheel to move independently, which gives the Sentra a silky-smooth ride feel and ideal traction support for a more stable drive on even the bumpiest roads. 

4. Speed-Sensitive Steering

Electronic power-assisted steering is a common feature on many vehicles, but the 2024 Sentra enhances this feature with speed-sensitive steering technology. Essentially, the Sentra can adjust the amount of power-assisted steering relative to the speed of the vehicle. When you are traveling at a higher speed, the sedan decreases steering support; when you are driving at lower speeds, the level of power-assisted steering increases. 

5. Xtronic CVT® Transmission

The Sentra also has a standard Xtronic CVT® that helps enhance the overall performance of the sedan. A continuously variable transmission has a more refined gearbox and automatically adjusts to your driving to help provide smoother gear shifts.

6. Front-Wheel Drive

Front-wheel drive is an ideal drivetrain for small cars and commuter vehicles. This drivetrain is designed to be more fuel efficient and still provides great traction on slippery roads since all the power and weight of the vehicle are directed to the front wheels.
