The New 2020 Sentra Has Arrived!

Cold weather puts a lot of strain on a 12-volt battery. Temperatures drop, engine oil thickens, and the electrical load increases from heated seats, defrosters, and headlights. If your battery is already weak, it might fail in the winter. Here is what Nissan recommends and what Peruzzi Nissan in Fairless Hills, PA offers to help you get ahead of it. Why Does Cold Weather Affect a Nissan Battery? A lead-acid car battery can lose about a third of its capacity when temperatures drop below freezing. At the same time, a cold engine requires more power to start than a warm one. The result is a battery that works normally in mild weather may struggle to start the vehicle during winter. Nissan recommends an annual charge test after the battery's second year of service. Standard vehicle batteries typically last 3 to 4 years. If yours is approaching that range, a pre-winter check is the right time to catch it. What Are the Signs of a Weak Nissan Battery? According to Nissan's official guidance, watch for: Slow engine cranking or clicking when you turn the key Headlights or interior lights that appear dimmer than usual Battery warning light stays illuminated on the dashboard; note that an illuminated battery warning light may indicate a charging-system problem, including an alternator or related electrical fault, rather than simply a failing battery. Any of these symptoms before winter warrants a battery check. Slow cranking can indicate that a battery may be close to failing, making a battery check worthwhile before colder weather arrives. What Does Nissan Battery Service Include? Nissan's complimentary multi-point inspection, available at participating dealers, includes battery performance, terminals and cables, mounting, and a battery capacity test. The battery check includes: Terminal and cable condition Mounting hardware check Battery capacity test The capacity test goes beyond a visual check. It measures the battery’s actual capacity and returns one of three results: the battery passes, it requires a recharge and retest, or it fails. That result gives you a clear picture of where the battery stands rather than an assessment based on appearance alone. What Can You Do to Protect Your Battery Before Winter? Nissan's official cold weather guidance includes several steps owners can take: Action Why It Helps Schedule a battery check before winter Confirms battery capacity before cold weather arrives Park in a garage when possible Keeps battery temperatures higher overnight Use a battery blanket in extreme cold Insulates the battery in very low temperatures Clean corrosion from battery terminals Improves conductivity and reduces strain on the battery Disable accessories before shutting off the engine Reduces the draw on the battery at the next start Use a trickle charger for extended storage Maintains charge during long periods without driving Switching to synthetic motor oil can make it easier to turn the engine over in cold temperatures. Always use the engine oil grade and specification recommended in your Nissan owner’s manual. How Much Does Nissan Battery Service Cost?

A capacity test at Peruzzi Nissan will confirm where your battery stands. How do I know if my Nissan Rogue, Pathfinder, or Frontier needs a new battery? Common signs of a potentially weak battery include slow engine cranking, a clicking sound when you turn the key, or dimmer-than-normal lights. A battery warning light can also indicate a battery or charging-system issue. If you see any of these, have the battery tested before you drive in colder weather. How do I put my Nissan in neutral if the battery is dead? The procedure varies by model and trim. For your specific vehicle, refer to the emergency neutral release instructions in your Nissan owner's manual, which includes step-by-step guidance for your exact configuration. Your owner's manual is the correct and safest reference for this procedure.

Two of Nissan's most accessible vehicles just got better. The 2027 Nissan Sentra and the 2027 Nissan Kicks are on sale and both arrive with updates that address real buyer feedback. If you wrote off either of these in a previous model year, here's what changed and why a second look makes sense. What Is New for the 2027 Nissan Sentra? The 2027 Nissan Sentra arrives with a new exterior and interior design, a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and available dual 12.3-inch displays. Recalibrated Xtronic CVT The most meaningful mechanical change for 2027 is a revised CVT tune. Nissan engineers recalibrated the Xtronic transmission software to deliver a smoother, more linear throttle response, reducing the delayed ratio shifts and engine drone that CVTs in this segment are known for during hard acceleration. The 2027 Sentra is powered by a 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) Midnight Edition Package The 2027 Sentra lineup includes an SR Midnight Edition with 18-inch gloss-black aluminum-alloy wheels. It's a cosmetic package, but it gives the Sentra SR a distinctly sportier look that the standard trim doesn't offer. What stays the same: The powertrain is unchanged. Every 2027 Sentra runs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with the CVT and front-wheel drive. EPA-estimated fuel economy holds at up to 30 MPG city and 38 MPG highway on S, SV, and SL trims; the SR is rated at 29 MPG city / 36 MPG highway. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist. What Is New for the 2027 Nissan Kicks? The Kicks was fully redesigned for 2025, sharper styling, a more upright stance, updated tech, and available all-wheel drive. For 2027, the headline addition is a new trim that meaningfully expands what the Kicks can do. Kicks Rock Creek AWD Nissan has added the Rock Creek trim to the Kicks lineup for 2027, joining the Rock Creek family that already includes versions of the Rogue and Pathfinder. The 2027 Nissan Kicks Rock Creek is built off the SV trim and adds: Standard Intelligent AWD Exclusive Off-Road drive mode Hill Descent Control Unique 17-inch wheels with rugged design Black exterior trim and a distinctive grille Roof rack with crossbars rated to carry up to 165 pounds Amber daytime running lights The Rock Creek positions the Kicks as something it wasn't before: a subcompact SUV with genuine light off-road capability, not just cosmetic trail styling. For buyers who want AWD capability without stepping up to a larger vehicle, this is a new option worth taking seriously. What stays the same: The powertrain carries over, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque paired with a CVT. EPA-estimated fuel economy for FWD models is 28 MPG city / 35 MPG highway. The 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard across the lineup. ProPILOT Assist is available on the SR grade. Feature 2027 Nissan Sentra 2027 Nissan Kicks Rock Creek Engine 2.0L 4-cylinder 2.0L 4-cylinder Horsepower 149 hp 141 hp Drivetrain FWD Standard AWD MPG (City/Hwy) 30 / 38 (S/SV/SL); 29 / 36 (SR) 28 / 35 (FWD est.) Key 2027 Update Revised CVT + Midnight Edition New Rock Creek trim Sentra or Kicks: Which One Is Right for You? The answer depends on what you are prioritizing: The Sentra may suit buyers prioritizing sedan efficiency and a lower seating position, while the Kicks may appeal to buyers wanting crossover cargo flexibility and available AWD. The Kicks makes more sense if you want SUV practicality, higher seating position, more cargo flexibility, and available AWD, at a subcompact price. The new Rock Creek trim adds real capability for buyers who want occasional off-road confidence or simply want AWD for Pennsylvania winters without spending Rogue money. Both are available now at Peruzzi Nissan in Fairless Hills. FAQs What is new for the 2027 Nissan Sentra? The 2027 Sentra adds a recalibrated Xtronic CVT for smoother acceleration, a new $650 Midnight Edition package on the SR trim, and an updated Qi2-standard wireless charging pad on higher trims. What is the 2027 Nissan Kicks Rock Creek? The Rock Creek is a new trim added to the 2027 Kicks lineup. It comes standard with Intelligent AWD, an exclusive Off-Road drive mode, Hill Descent Control, a roof rack rated to 165 pounds, and rugged exterior styling. Is the 2027 Nissan Kicks still the most affordable AWD SUV in America? Yes. Nissan officially confirmed in the 2027 Kicks press release that it remains the most affordable AWD SUV in America. What is the fuel economy of the 2027 Nissan Sentra? The 2027 Sentra is EPA-estimated at up to 30 MPG city and 38 MPG highway. Where can I buy the 2027 Nissan Sentra or Kicks near Fairless Hills, PA? Both are available now at Peruzzi Nissan, 165 Lincoln Hwy, Fairless Hills, PA 19030.
