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.

Even the 276-hp Elantra N skips the stick in China: this is the first Elantra generation built there since 2003 without a manual option at all.
Since 1997 the Corolla has been the best-selling car nameplate in history, overtaking the VW Beetle -- Toyota passed 54 million sold by early 2026.
The 11th-generation Civic is the first since the late-1970s second generation not to offer any two-door body style.
One of the world's best-selling mid-size sedans skipped a market entirely for this generation: the 11th-gen Accord was never sold in Malaysia, after sales of the previous generation there kept declining.
After nine generations sold at home, Toyota finally built a Camry that Japan itself can't buy — the XV80 is assembled there purely for export.
The VA-generation WRX STI kept the previous generation's 2.5-liter EJ257 engine rather than adopting the new FA20 used in the standard WRX.
Dodge's wildest factory option: the 2022 'Jailbreak Edition' let buyers customize an 807-hp Hellcat Redeye Charger straight from the factory, as if breaking it free of a standard build sheet.
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.
