Refreshed 2016 Nissan Sentra to start at $16,780

(December 31, 2015) NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nissan is closing out its best sales year ever with the arrival this week of the refreshed 2016 Sentra sedan at Nissan dealers nationwide. The starting price for the Sentra S with 6-speed manual transmission is $16,780, an increase of just $250 despite significant enhancements to the Sentra lineup for the new model year.

"Sentra has experienced tremendous growth in sales and market share in recent years, making it one of Nissan's fastest growing nameplates," said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Sales & Marketing Operations, U.S., Nissan North America, Inc.



"To help keep momentum going, we've given Sentra a new look and feel for 2016, starting with a revised exterior and the addition of an expanded suite of available safety and driving aid technologies."

The exterior redesign brings Sentra closer to the new 2016 Maxima and redesigned 2016 Altima. All three Nissan sedans reflect Nissan's new design language first introduced on the dramatic Nissan Murano crossover. Key features of the new Sentra exterior include new front and rear fascias, grille, fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights and a new available 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design. Sentra SR and SL grades add new LED low-beam headlights with LED signature accents.

Inside, the revised Sentra interior features a new steering wheel, new available power driver's seat with power lumbar, new center cluster and audio display design, new console and shifter knob, refined seat fabrics and auto on/off headlights for all grades. The instrument panel features an Advanced Drive-Assist Display (ADAD) with 5.0-inch screen located between the tachometer and speedometer on Sentra SV, SR and SL grades. These grades also include Siri Eyes Free Voice Recognition as standard
equipment.

A number of Nissan's advanced Safety Shield Technologies are also now available on Sentra for the first time — Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

Another new available technology is NissanConnectSM Services powered by SiriusXM. It offers emergency preparedness, remote access, customizable alerts and convenience services (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately). The system allows the driver to set customized alerts for family and friends – such as speed, curfew and boundary notifications.
