2017 Nissan Sentra NISMO

 

Up until recently, Nissan’s NISMO line of vehicles had been too much of a pricey niche option for the average driver, but that’s all about to change. Introducing the new 2017 Nissan Sentra NISMO, Nissan’s very first “mainstream, affordable” NISMO model available in the United States. With its debut this past December at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan unleashed a bold new Sentra designed for drivers who want more excitement in their day-to-day travels.

NISMO refers to Nissan’s tuning, motorsports, and performance division (its name being an abbreviation of “Nissan Motorsport”), which in the past has released beefed-up versions of the Nissan Skyline and Silvia. The new Sentra NISMO comes with re-tuned suspension and an upgraded interior that includes track-inspired front seats, 370Z-inspired steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara and leather, and carbon-fiber interior accents. The vehicle comes in your choice of Brilliant Silver, Aspen White, Super Black, or Gun Metallic.

Along with the new 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo, the Sentra NISMO runs on a 1.6 liter four-cylinder direct injection gasoline engine, allowing for 188 horsepower with a six-speed manual transmission. If you prefer automatic, get the Xtronic CVT Transmission at the same cost, which features a manual mode for when you’re feeling adventurous. Moving everything along are 18” NISMO aluminum-alloy wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, which will be included on the four-door model.

Though the Nissan Sentra has been around in one form or another since 1982, there’s never been a better time to check one out than today.
