A used Nissan Sentra gives drivers the everyday practicality of a compact sedan with four doors, seating for five, and a separate trunk. At Nucar Nissan of Allentown, shoppers looking for a used Nissan Sentra for sale can compare model years, trims, engines, transmissions, technology, mileage, and vehicle-specific history. Every used vehicle we offer also includes access to a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report.
The Sentra fits naturally into a week that includes commuting on 7th Street and finding a parking spot for an IronPigs game at Coca-Cola Park. Specifications and installed equipment vary by model year, trim, package, transmission, and individual vehicle, so review each listing for its exact configuration.
A used Sentra can make sense for commuters, first-time buyers, students, retirees, and households that want an easy-to-manage sedan for work, errands, and regional travel. Its compact exterior is useful in parking lots and tighter city spaces, while the rear seat and trunk provide room for passengers, groceries, luggage, and everyday gear.
Recent Sentra generations also offer several distinct choices. Depending on the year, shoppers may encounter a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, a turbocharged performance-oriented engine, a manual transmission, an Xtronic continuously variable transmission, sport-inspired SR styling, premium SL equipment, or newer smartphone and driver-assistance technology.
The redesigned 2013 Sentra introduced a larger four-door body, a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, and front-wheel drive. Most configurations use an Xtronic continuously variable transmission, while a manual transmission was available on select S models.
Depending on the year, trim, and package, shoppers may encounter Bluetooth® connectivity, navigation, a RearView Monitor, Nissan Intelligent Key®, push-button ignition, heated seating, premium audio, or leather-appointed seating. These years may appeal to drivers looking for a straightforward compact sedan with familiar controls and practical passenger and trunk space.
The Sentra received refreshed exterior styling and cabin updates for 2016. Most configurations continued with a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter four-cylinder, front-wheel drive, and an Xtronic continuously variable transmission. A manual transmission remained available on select S models during part of this period.
For 2017, the lineup expanded with the SR Turbo and NISMO. These performance-oriented models use a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Qualifying configurations were offered with a six-speed manual or Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
The 2017–2019 Sentra NISMO added model-specific styling, suspension tuning, seats, wheels, and interior details. The SR Turbo used the same basic engine but had a separate appearance and equipment combination. Shoppers considering either version should confirm the transmission, original equipment, tire condition, modifications, and available maintenance records.
The Sentra was fully redesigned for 2020 with a wider body, updated cabin, independent rear suspension, and a new 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder. The engine produces 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
The redesign also introduced Nissan Safety Shield® 360 across the trim range. The suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking.
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ availability depended on trim and equipment on the earliest redesigned models. Both systems were standard throughout the lineup by 2022. Available upgrades during this period included an 8-inch touchscreen, Intelligent Cruise Control, an Intelligent Around View® Monitor, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a moonroof, and Bose® premium audio.
The 2024 Sentra received refreshed front-end styling, revised headlights, updated wheel designs, and changes to the Xtronic continuously variable transmission. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder continued with 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, and every configuration remained front-wheel drive.
Nissan Safety Shield 360, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto continued across the lineup. Features such as an 8-inch touchscreen, Intelligent Cruise Control, an Intelligent Around View Monitor, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a moonroof, and Bose audio varied by trim and package.
The Sentra was redesigned again for 2026 with new exterior styling, an updated dashboard, and expanded display technology. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder continues to produce 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque and remains paired with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
A 12.3-inch NissanConnect® touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto is standard across the 2026 lineup. SV, SR, and SL models add a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. ProPILOT Assist, an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, Bose audio, heated features, and premium seating vary by trim or package.
The Sentra has remained a front-wheel-drive sedan across these model years. All-wheel drive is not offered, so shoppers who require AWD should compare other Nissan models while considering vehicle size, tire choice, weather, and parking needs.
Sentra trim names and equipment have changed across generations. These descriptions explain their general roles rather than a fixed lineup.
A trim name does not confirm every installed feature. Review the individual listing and original window sticker when available, especially when comparing technology packages, heated features, camera systems, premium seating, or special editions.
Every Sentra covered here is a four-door compact sedan with seating for up to five. Regular rear-seat passengers should check legroom, headroom, seatback angle, door access, and child-seat installation during the vehicle review.
The 2022 and redesigned 2026 Sentra each list 14.3 cubic feet of trunk volume. Because dimensions and rear-seat folding arrangements can vary by generation, check the individual car with the groceries, luggage, work supplies, or sports equipment you regularly carry.
Connectivity differs considerably by model year. Older examples may have Bluetooth calling, Bluetooth audio, USB inputs, navigation, or a RearView Monitor. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became more widely available during the late 2010s and were standard throughout the lineup by 2022. The redesigned 2026 Sentra added a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration.
A useful used-car comparison should consider the vehicle’s configuration, history, maintenance, and intended use rather than relying only on its age or odometer mileage.
A used Nissan Sentra is not automatically a certified pre-owned vehicle. Certification depends on the car meeting the applicable Nissan program requirements, completing the required inspection, and carrying the appropriate certification designation.
Shoppers interested in the inspection, warranty, roadside-assistance, and ownership benefits associated with qualifying vehicles can browse Nissan Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. Ask our team to explain the certification status and exact coverage attached to any Sentra you are considering.

The 2013–2019 Sentra uses the seventh-generation design with a 1.8-liter engine on most models and available turbocharged variants during later years. The 2020 redesign introduced a 149-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, independent rear suspension, and Nissan Safety Shield 360. The Sentra received a refresh for 2024 and another full redesign for 2026.
No. Sentra models are front-wheel drive. Shoppers who need all-wheel drive should compare other vehicles and consider how tire choice, weather, passenger space, parking, and overall vehicle size affect their decision.
Most recent Sentra models use an Xtronic continuously variable transmission. Select older S models were offered with a manual transmission, and qualifying 2017–2019 SR Turbo and NISMO models were available with a six-speed manual.
The SV generally emphasizes additional convenience, cabin, and technology features. The SR focuses more on sport-inspired exterior and interior styling, larger wheels, and model-specific details. Exact equipment varies by model year and package.
Both use a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine producing 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The NISMO adds its own styling, suspension tuning, seats, wheels, and interior details, while the SR Turbo has a separate appearance and equipment combination.
Availability expanded on select later seventh-generation models. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were standard throughout the Sentra lineup by 2022. The 2026 redesign added wireless integration across the lineup.
