Expert Reviews
The 2018 Nissan Sentra is a compact car that does what it says on the package: it’s roomy, quiet, and relatively affordable.
Pros
Standard automatic emergency braking
Decent fuel efficiency
Competitive standard features
Roomy rear seat
Cons
Turbo models aren’t as much fun as we hoped
Wandering 6-speed manual
Leisurely acceleration in most models
Top-end trims are too much
For 2018, Nissan has made minor adjustments to the Sentra's feature availability. Automatic emergency braking for imminent collisions is now standard on most Sentra trim levels.
PROS
Spacious backseat and trunk for the class
Priced lower than many rivals
User-friendly control layout
CONS
Less engaging driving experience than many competitors
Seats aren't particularly suitable for taller drivers
Slow acceleration on most models
An entertaining powertrain does not always result in an entertaining car. Case in point: the 2018 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo. In spite of its quite good forced-induction inline-four, this Sentra isn’t quite a competitive sport compact.
Pros
Agreeable engine,
lots of rear legroom,
comfortable ride.
Cons
Awkward seating position,
uncomfortable seats,
not as engaging as a sporty model should be.

Pros
Strong engines
Roomy seats in both rows
User-friendly infotainment system
Cons

For 2018, Chrysler has shuffled the 300's features and trim level names, but otherwise the car remains mechanically the same. The V8 engine was previously available across the board, but it is now offered on just two trim levels.
PROS
Cabin is quiet, with an upscale look and feel
Available V8 engine suits the car's personality well
Touchscreen technology interface is easy to use
CONS
V8 engine now limited to just two trim levels
Hard to see out the back because of small rear window and thick roof pillars
