Nissan Sentra

Affordable Japanese sedan

Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan manufactured by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 1982.

Positioned as an affordable, fuel-efficient commuter car, the Sentra has been a staple of the economy car market for decades: My first car was a beat-up Sentra with 200,000 miles on it.

The name has become shorthand for practical, no-frills transportation.
