Ready to take that closer look right now? Our team at Maus Nissan North Tampa reviews all the features that you can expect from the 2022 Nissan Sentra. Let’s go!

New for 2022

For 2022, the Sentra lineup adds a couple of new option packages. The SV trim can now be equipped with an All-Weather Package with a heated steering wheel, front seats, and exterior mirrors. The SR trim is now available in the Midnight Edition package, which adds a mysterious all-black exterior with unique interior appointments.

Performance

Every 2022 Sentra has a 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive.

The Sentra features an independent rear suspension system and wheel sizes running from 16-18 inches. Particularly notable is its braking system. It delivers reassuring pedal feed and solid stopping power coming to a halt at 170 feet from 70 mph.

The 2022 Sentra also features a driver-customizable Eco Mode setting which lets you dial into enhanced comfort and efficiency wherever the road takes you.

Finally, the Sentra’s D-shaped steering wheel is communicative and responsive. Plus with its independent rear multi-link suspension system, you won’t even notice the bumps along the way.

Bottom line: The Sentra is a comfortable vehicle for daily commutes and weekend road trips.

Fuel Economy and MPG

It is estimated that the Sentra offers 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. Those figures will drop slightly to 28 mpg and 37 mpg with the sporty SR trim.

Interior and Cargo

Inside, the 2022 Sentra has one of the best-looking designs in the compact-car segment. It is equipped with simple analog gauges on the dash that sandwich a 7.0-inch display on all but the base trim. The center of the dashboard is accentuated by a trio of circular air vents above the climate controls.

The materials in the cabin are a mix of soft and hard plastics, and some higher trims come appointed with quilted leather upholstery that makes the Sentra look especially upscale.

Get extra comfy with Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats and ample legroom in the front, and don’t worry about your backseat passengers, they will have plenty of room too!

You can also fit seven carry-on suitcases in the Sentra’s 14-cubic-foot trunk; that’s one more than its rival the Toyota Corolla can hold!

Infotainment

Every dashboard comes with a touchscreen that is supplemented by physical volume and tuning knobs. While the base Sentra model features a 7.0-inch display that comes equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the rest of the trims have an 8.0-inch unit as well as USB ports in the front and back seats.

The higher trims also come with:

• SiriusXM satellite radio
• An 8 speaker Bose stereo
• Wi-Fi hotspot

Safety

Nissan packs the Sentra with ample standard driver assistance safety features. On every trim but the base model, buyers can also get adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system.
