THE VERDICT
Added space and tech features make the 2013 Sentra more than just another compact sedan, while the unique Drive Modes really help customize the driving experience to suit a much larger customer base. In particular, the Sport mode helps eliminate some of the complaints associated with a CVT transmission – though not the sound.
Appealing to both your left and right brain, the 2013 Sentra helps you save money and fuel in a package that makes picking it over the current segment leaders all the more attractive.

Pricing for 2013 has decreased by $440, affording consumers more for less. The base S model with 6-speed manual transmission or CVT hits the market with standard features such as LED accent lighting, power doors/windows and Drive Modes with the bargain starting price of $15,990. For an extra $400, and solely available to S and SV models is the FE+ designation incorporating a unique rear spoiler, under body aerodynamics and low rolling resistance tires – all of which add up to an extra mile per gallon on the highway.
Consumers looking for a slight upgrade will obtain the aforementioned features (sans FE+ details) along with steering wheel controls, premium cloth seating and chrome accents, all showcasing the trimming of the SV model priced $17,970.
Our tester was the unmissable and sporty SR, offered at $18,870 and composed of bigger wheels, sporty body-moldings and a sport silver interior trim. For the conservative consumer still looking for a premium experience at an affordable cost, the SL model at $19,760 perfects the Sentra with markers in the side mirrors, dual zone climate control, wood-tone interior trim and much more.
THE SENTRA OF ATTENTION

Nissan’s desire to bring something sophisticated-looking to the compact segment has paid off handsomely. From front to back, the new Sentra’s styling has dramatic lines and improved road charisma. Mixing noticeable styling cues from the recently refreshed Leaf, Versa and Altima, Nissan designers and engineers have gone a step further to infuse the design with the best details of higher-range vehicles like Altima and Maxima.
Key elements now setting the Sentra apart from the boxy outgoing model include a lower roof, chrome front grille and door handles, standard LED-accented headlamps and taillights, new alloy wheels and body-color mirrors. Adding to the improved look is its larger size, with more rear seat room and improved trunk space. The new compact is also longer, with improved rear passenger room and a trunk that has gained 2 cu-ft for a total of 15.1.
For those who demand an edgier look the SR model includes sport front and rear fascias, a new front grille, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and a chrome single exhaust tip finisher. It’s safe to say that the SR dressing gives the Sentra a complete flair to an already impressive makeover. Also optional with the SR is a Driver Package, which includes rear disc brakes and auto headlights. Regardless of color, including the standout Metallic Blue on our test car, it’s hard not to appreciate the Sentra’s new look, considering that its past shell was chiefly unlikable.
