SENTRA B18

About the Sentra B18

Nissan brought the Sentra back from the dead with the B18. After years of phoning it in with rental-spec penalty boxes, the 2020 redesign arrived with genuine style cribbed from the Altima, a lower center of gravity, and an interior that would have embarrassed the previous generation at twice the price. The 2.0-liter engine makes modest power but returns solid efficiency. What matters is the driving position, the ride quality, and the fact that Nissan finally stopped treating compact sedan buyers like they did not deserve nice things.
