Specs of the Nissan Sentra
Eastern automobile makers Nissan Motors produced a compact automobile called the Nissan Sentra as early as 1982. Actually , this line was basically the Nissan sunny that was rebadged for export. So, the name’Sentra’ is only used outside Japan, while the name’Sunny’ is only known inside Japan. In the U. S. market, the Nissan Sentra is the car manufacturer’s line of compact cars. A base model for the Sentra is at present priced at $15,000. The posh mode in the meantime, fetches for no less than $21,000. Through the generations, the Sentra has developed and gained lots of mass. Nowadays, it’s not an entry-level auto anymore, as this variation has been handed to the Nissan Versa. The US EPA has rated the current Sentra generation as medium-sized vehicle, not a compact anymore, because of the volume of its interior. The first generation of Maximas, supplied from 1983 to 1985 came in various body styles : 2-door sedan , 3-door hatch , 3-door coupe, 4-door sedan , and 5-door station wagon . Its engine was either a 1.5L E15 ( s ) I4, a 1.6L E16 ( s ) I4, or a1.7L CD17 diesel I4. Transmissions included 4 speed or 5 gear manual or 3-speed automatic.
since then, 5 generations of Sentras have been introduced to the general public : the second or the B12 generation ( from 1985 to 1990 ) ; the 3rd or B13 generation ( from 1991 to 1994 ), which introduced the sporty 2-door SE-R model ; the fourth B14 generation ( 1995-1999 ) which introduced various trims : Base, XE, GXE, GLE, SE and SE Limited ; the fifth or generation ( 2000-2006 ) which introduced torsion beam setup rather than an independent rear suspension. The current 6th or B16 generation has been available since 2007. Introduced at the northern US international car Show in Jan of 2006, this was the Sentra generation that was graded by the US EPA as a mid-size automobile. Certain aesthetic and technol9ogiical advances will be introduced in its 2010 model.
