2010 Nissan Sentra
The biggest news for the 2010 Nissan Sentra is the extra room now in the passenger cabin. More headroom allows adults to feel comfortable when seated, rather than cramped. The taller configuration also improves visibility in front and allows more room to enter and exit the car. This 2010 Sentra also earned the highest safety score for front and side impact crash from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The 2010 Nissan Sentra is stuck somewhere between compact and mid-size, similar to the Civic or the Corolla. For this model, the headlights and taillights take on a new form, and it gets a new grille and front fascia. The bad news is that the leather upholstery is now an option and no longer standard issue on any 2010 Nissan Sentra. A small increase in fuel efficiency has been achieved for the Sentra 2010 by changing them over to the 2.0 liter engine and variable transmission.
The 2010 Nissan Sentra engine 2.0 liter configuration delivers 140 hp and increases fuel economy to 34 mpg highway. The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder gets an increase of 37 hp, but loses a little fuel economy in the trade-off. The 2.5 liter engine now delivers 200 hp. This 2.5 was clocked at 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. The 2010 Nissan Sentra is not lacking in power, and it is steady maintaining that reputation.
The 2.0 is the only model Nissan Sentra 2010 that did not get several optional upgrades this time. Included with this model are power windows and locks, split rear folding seats, air-conditioning and CD player. The 2.0 no longer gets the 6-speed manual transmission. All models are outfitted with front seat side airbags and full length side curtain airbag.
The other 2010 Nissan Sentra models got several option choices such as: keyless entry, cruise control, power mirrors, trip computer, MP3 capable stereo, keyless ignition, satellite radio, a lower body kit, color display gauges and stereo. Other options available for most 2010 Nissan Sentra models except the 2.0 include: sun roof, a Rockford Fosgate sound system, a navigational system with real time traffic, backup camera, iPod and Bluetooth and functionality. For the exterior optional add-ons include fog lamps, security system and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes.
The 2010 Nissan Sentra models are so varied; there are several styles and many options, from basic economy to super sporty from which to choose. The 2010 Nissan Sentra has a model that will appeal to most, depending on what one is looking for in a car. The 2.0 delivers adequate power and handling, but of course, as one moves up through the more enhanced models, these features improve exponentially. All of the 2010 Nissan Sentra models are really great for long commutes, and the newly improved suspension delivers a much smoother and more comfortable ride than previous models. All models still uphold Nissan’s reputation for quality, reliability and durability, as well as value for the dollar. Overall, the 2010 Nissan Sentra is still a preferred ride for many individuals and families, and it’s easy to see why.
