Hills, Bumps, Curves - No Problems
Dynamic drive technologies handle the bumps, curves and hills.
Power and efficiency don't often come hand-in-hand, but the 2021 Sentra gives you both. Starting with a new, larger 2.0 – liter 4-cylinder engine, you'll feel that it has 21% more power and 15% more torque. Thanks to masterful engineering, these increases in power have made the new Sentra no less efficient than its predecessors.
The 2021 Sentra has the latest version of XTRONIC, featuring D-Step Logic Control, which performs like a traditional automatic transmission, with a natural feeling of shifting gears, and responding to the gas pedal. You might not even notice it’s a CVT, but you’ll enjoy the exceptional fuel efficiency that only one can provide.
Activated by the user, Eco Mode adjusts throttle response and transmission operation to help the Sentra get the most of every drop of fuel. It even adjusts the air conditioning output to lessen loads on the engine for even more efficiency.
Sentra maintains a low drag coeffient by either closing or opeining specific vents at various places behind the grille. By controlling air flow for different speeds traveled, Sentra can get optimal fuel economy at all times.
Sentra finds the coveted balance between compliance and responsiveness with its new rear independent multi-link suspension, which filters out harsh, jarring impacts without filtering out the joy of driving.
The D-shaped steering wheel is just part of the story. There's a new dual-pinion power steering system that's communicative, responsive, and empowering to drivers, turn after turn.

Hug the curves with handling that feels effortless. Intelligent Trace Control reads the situation and, if needed, can brake each wheel individually to help you steer smoothly through the corners.
Bump? What bump? Active Ride Control can automatically apply the brakes and adjust engine torque to smooth out your ride, turning those mountains into molehills.
Get smoother deceleration when cornering or coming to a stop. Intelligent Engine Brake uses the transmission to apply engine braking, for more level and confident stopping. And to keep your bag from flying off the passenger seat.
To keep you from rolling backward when starting from a stop on a steep hill, Sentra holds brake pressure for a few seconds, keeping you stationary while you switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
