Owning one
An estimate, for the Base · 5-spd manual · 2.5L · FWD trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
The new Sentra borrows its face from the Leaf and Ariya, Nissan's electric cars now set the look for its gas cars too.
After three straight generations riding on a torsion-beam rear axle, the B18 Sentra finally switched to independent rear suspension.
It merged the Sentra and Sylphy into one global model, and in 2017 brought the first turbocharged Sentras ever sold in North America.
The EPA classed this Sentra as a mid-size car, because its 110 cubic feet of passenger and cargo volume just reached the threshold.
Production moved from Tennessee to Aguascalientes, Mexico, and the 2002 Spec V got red front bucket seats inspired by the Skyline GT-R.
The first Sentra sold only as a sedan, it was also the last generation assembled at Nissan's Smyrna, Tennessee plant.
Mexico kept building it as the Tsuru until May 2017, 1,849,289 in all, and it was the country's most popular car from 1997 to 2011.
Its four-wheel-drive wagon used an electrically switched transfer case, and yearly deliveries never topped 2,408.
The EPA rated the 1,875 lb Sentra MPG at 58 mpg on the highway, the best of any petrol car on sale at the time.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
