Nissan Sentra: specifications of one of the best-selling Japanese sedans

Nissan Sentra is a car whose debut in Russia took place in 2014 in Moscow. How can it be characterized in several words? Spacious, comfortable, hardy, reliable - these are the four basic qualities that the machine can boast of. But this is not his only advantage.

About sizes

It should be noted that if we talk about dimensions, then Sentra in this regard is the leader among representatives of its class. The length of its body is 4625 mm, width - 1760 mm. The height of the car is 1495 mm, and the wheelbase reaches an indicator of 2700 mm. The radius of the turn on the front bumper is five and a half meters! The curb weight of the car reaches a rate of 1276 kg (which is a very small weight). In general, the car turned out to be quite compact and not bulky, which is very important. After all, Nissan Sentra, in fact, created for a comfortable ride around the city, as well as for the implementation of short trips. And for such purposes, a vehicle is not required.

Restyling for Russia

This model manufacturers built on a stretched platform from Nissan, which is known under the designation "V". This, strictly speaking, is the same platform that was put in the basis of other cars of this concern. For example, Note, Pulsar, Micra, as well as Tilda hatchback (2nd generation).

This model was specially adapted for Russian roads. The process involved an international team, assembled from high-class specialists. Nissan Sentra, before it was announced about its premiere, was a full cycle of various tests on our roads, and after that the developers of the company began work on the design of the machine. I had to make a number of changes. There was significantly strengthened suspension and floor panels, as well as engineers retuned the shock absorbers, increasing their energy intensity. The ground clearance was also left unattended, increasing it to 15.5 centimeters. And the car was equipped with a more powerful and capacious battery. In addition, the Nissan Sentra improved the cooling of the variator, there were new, more comfortable seats.

Interior

Salon Nissan Sentra was originally designed to accommodate five inside. And with great comfort. There is a lot of space inside the car, and even after all five seats take their place, both in the front and rear seats there will be enough free space.

The car Nissan Sentra is not distinguished by a very rich interior - everything is done simply, but with taste. In addition, the interior turned out quite ergonomic. And the materials were used not cheap. So it's hard to find fault with quality. The specialists selected good finishing materials and assembled the salon on conscience. The instruments are combined in the classical version. That is, the driver can contemplate four dials. Absolutely all the readings can be read easily and quickly. Also you can not fail to note the attention to the comfortable steering wheel, which can be adjusted by the flight and even by the angle of inclination. Even basic equipment is equipped with this function.

And, finally, the last thing I would like to say about the salon is the trunk. Its volume is 511 liters, and this, I must say, a good figure for the Japanese sedan.

Technical indicators

And the last topic that should be noted with attention, while talking about the Nissan Sentra. Characteristics - that is what is considered very important moment. But in this case there is not much variety. For Russian buyers only one version is available - with an atmospheric 1.6-liter petrol engine. Very modest, at 117 hp, but it meets all the ecological requirements of Euro-5. The maximum that is available to this car is 192 km / h. Before "hundred" the car is capable to be dispersed for 10.6 seconds. It can not be said that the car is not economical: in a mixed cycle, the engine consumes only 6.4 liters per 100 km.

In general, for the city itself. This car will satisfy an undemanding and unskilled driver, so if you need a car for driving to and from work - it's worth taking.
