 What's up you guys, I'll go back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Goldpony at the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we're in the brand new 2024 Nissan Sentra, courtesy of younger Nissan in Frederick, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so we're in this one today because there has been a slight refresh or redesign for the 2024 Sentra. The interior is actually slightly refreshed as well. And believe it or not, this is a car, yet again, this starts at only $20,000. That is pretty stinking cool. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering field, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. As you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the 2024 Sentra. First one being the S starting at $20,630, which is a $680 bump from the 2023 model year, but that is the trim level that we have today. So that is pretty cool. SV trim for $21,560. And lastly, the SR going for $23,720. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Sentra is going to be the same. Powering this beast is a two liter direct injected inline four cylinder, putting out 149 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 146 pound feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM. Power sent to the front wheels through a CVT, zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 9.2 seconds. We'll test that out here in a little bit, but MBG numbers coming in at 30 in the city, 40 on the highway, which by the way is a one mile per gallon bump from the 2023 Sentra. Why is that you might be asking? That's because there is a new engine start-stop system that comes standard for 2024. So whenever you're stopped at a red light, the engine is automatically going to turn off for you. And whenever it turns green again, you start to go, it's automatically going to turn on for you. So that is going to save you one mile per gallon in the end, but by the way, taking regular unleaded fuel, so that's going to save you somebody there as well. But before we do any kind of fun acceleration test here in the Sentra, I do want to mention to you guys, the drive modes, there's three of them essentially, you got the normal driving mode, which is what the Sentra naturally defaults to. You have an econ driving mode or eco, I'm sorry, by the driver's left knee, and then there is a hidden sport driving mode, which is the horizontal line found on the shifter. So that is what we're going to hit for this acceleration test. So having said that, what do you got to say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put this thing to the test end. Let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Nissan Sentra here up to speed. All right you guys, from a standstill, three, two, one, go. It's loud. All right, not the quickest thing in the world. I will say there was a good bit of pepiness when you originally hit the gas there. And that's typically what you find with less powerful four cylinder engines, like the Toyota Corolla for example. So I got to like the pepiness and do appreciate that. But once you really get on the gas, it is loud, not the quickest thing in the world, but it should get the job done for things like merging onto the highway and all that fun stuff. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. And the interesting thing about the brakes is it is going to differ depending upon the trim level that you go with. For example, we are in the S trim level today. And with that S trim level, you do get front disc rear drum brakes. However, if you were to go with the SV or SR trim, you will get four wheel ventilated disc brakes that do come standard. And that obviously is going to give you the better braking power. As far as that 60s year stopping distance number goes for the SV and SR at least, that's going to come in at 114 feet. And I remember driving that, I believe in last year's review, and it was a very firm braking feel. It does immediately bring you to a stop. So I did appreciate that. As far as this braking feel goes, it is about average, I will say. It's not a firm braking feel, I will say that. It's not a soft braking feel like an SV either. It's pretty much as you would expect a compact car to brake like, but the other setup is going to be a lot better. The four wheel ventilated disc brakes are the SV and the SR trim. So I'll just put it that way, but that touching on suspension and handling up front, you're going to get an independent strut type front suspension in the back independent multi-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars. As far as ride quality goes, it's actually not too bad. I feel like it is better than the Civic, but you do tend to feel a little bit more of the road in compact cars. I'll just put it that way, but it's not bad. It's not bad. And again, it's not bad. But as far as cabin noise goes, that's okay. You do get a little bit of road noise. You guys could probably tell them going 37 miles per hour. There is a little bit of road noise coming into the cabin, but that's to be expected in compact cars yet again. So I personally don't have any issues there, but the steering feel, the steering feel guys, I'm telling you it is weighted on the heavier side of things. And that is one of the things I always appreciate about the Sentra. It is instantly pointing you in the direction that you want to go because of that heavier steering feel. It's kind of like the Honda Civic and it is a heck of a lot heavier than the Toyota Corolla. Toyota Corolla is like loosey-goosey, but the Sentra, I don't know, man, I like it. So absolutely new issues there. Touching on visibility, at least when it comes to rear visibility out of my rear view mirror, I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back there. But that pretty much wraps up the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Nissan Sentra. All right, so here she is, you guys, the new 2024 Nissan Sentra finished in super black. In case you were curious of the exact exterior color name that we had on this one here today, but again, the Sentra has been slightly refreshed for 2024. There's slightly redesigned headlights, also the redesigned front fascia as well, specifically the grille. You guys see those chrome perimeters? Previously, that part was a little bit more inside, closer to the middle of the grille, and now they just pushed it out slightly, so just a slight little refresh up front. But anyways, let's go ahead and start with where the Sentra is made. Taking a look at the van, first character is the number three, indicating that the new Nissan Sentra is still built and assembled in Mexico. But touching up front here, Nissan V-Motion front grille with active grille shutters coming standard. So active grille shutters, meaning the grille shutters are gonna open and close dependent upon the engine cooling that is needed at any given time. So that's something I first saw on BMW, so I do like that feature. Of course, it's gonna be finished in either chrome or black. You guys can see there's chrome accents on our S trim level, but gloss black is available as well. Then taking a look at the headlights, halogen headlights coming standard for the S and S V trims, then LED headlights with LED daytime running lights for the SR trim, but either way, you still get the automatic feature like we have today. You still get automatic high beams for all trim levels as well. So if you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams and when that vehicle is gone, it's gonna automatically bounce it back up the high beams for you there. So definitely a very nice feature there. But another thing that has changed for the 2024 Sentra is there is no longer any availability for fog lights down below. But I will say they were halogen, I believe anyway. So not a huge deal there, but I did want to mention it since it was a change for this model year. But anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front end. I do like the slight refresh. I think it still definitely looks good, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the Sentra. All right, in some instances, you are around to the side of this one. Chrome belt line molding does come standard. You do have the floating roof line found on the C pillar there. Kind of hard to differentiate with a black exterior, but essentially it's that line that just separates the roof from the rest of the body more or less. Taking a look at the side mirrors, they are body colored power adjustable side mirrors. They will be gloss black for the SR trim, but then heated for the SV and SR and then integrated turd signals for the SR trim level only. We do have matte black door handles on our S trim level. So I do want to kind of emphasize that because on the SV and SR, you're going to get body colored door handles, of course. Then take a look down at the wheel setup, 16 inch steel wheels with covers coming on our S trim level, 16 inch aluminum alloys for the SV and then 18 inch aluminum alloys found on that SR trim level. But that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. And something else to see around to the back of this one. First thing I actually want to start by mentioning is there is no shark fin antenna found on the roof of the center. That's something I typically find on like BMW and Mercedes Benz. I just think it's a very clean look. Obviously the radio still works and all that stuff, but there is no shark fin antenna. So interesting, right? Anyways, rear spoiler is going to come standard on the SR trim level only. If you do have a body colored or gloss black rear diffuser down below, gloss black is going to be on the SR trim level or available for the SR. Otherwise you're going to get body colored. So anyways, I think that always looks good on the center. So I do like that. And just below it all, you guys will find a single exhaust outlet tucked away. However, you will get a chrome tip for the SR trim, but since we don't have the SR, we don't have that with us here today. But nonetheless, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since you are around to the back of the center, when it comes to opening that rear trunk, there is a button on the key fob. There is also a button kind of by the driver's side left knee. There is no button on the trunk itself for the SR trim level. I do want to say that. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 14.3 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 6040 split, meaning the rear seats do fall down for a good bit of extra space. Then if you needed it, there is a cargo lighting back there as well. Grocer hooks are available. They don't come standard, but there is also a spare tire found underneath that cargo floor as opposed to the fix-a-flat in case anybody was curious. But so to make our way up to the rear leg room, that comes in at 34.7 inches. For reference, I'm in even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. I do want to say though, the backside of the front seats do have some give to them. So if you're a little bit taller of an individual, your knees kind of give into the backside of this front seat. So that's kind of convenient. For your center armrest with cup holders does not come standard on our S trim level. Unfortunately, however, you can get them on the other trim levels. USB charging port also available, but we don't get that with our S trim level and typical compact car fashion, no rear ventilation. That's the same for the Corolla and the Civic as well, by the way. So that's a pretty standard thing, but then make our way up to the front seats, manually adjustable cloth seating for the S and SV trim levels, sport cloth with orange stitching for the SR trim level. And as you want to mention, there is an optional quilted leather available for the SV trim level only. So I'll put a picture of that on the screen. It definitely looks pretty darn good. Heated front seats that are gonna be optional on the SV and SR. Overall, believe it or not, as far as seat comfort goes, it was perfectly fine for me. I had absolutely no issues taking this thing around for a little test drive. So definitely no issues with seat comfort, even on our S trim level that we have today. But then take a look at the steering wheel and just tilt and telescoping. It's gonna be wrapped in urethane for the S trim level. However, it is gonna be leather wrapped then for the SV and SR. Another cool thing I like about the steering wheel is that it is a flat bottom and then if you wanted the heated steering wheel, that is gonna be available for the SV trim level. But now, let's go ahead and make our way to the startup. But let me start by showing you guys this fancy key here. Got your Nissan logo on the top, lock unlock and that button to pop the rear trunk there. But there is a remote start that comes on the SV and SR trims. That's gonna be on the key fob. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start for all trim levels. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot in the brake and press that engine start button located just in front of the shifter there. And so once started up, tachometers all the way to your left speedometer is on your right. There is a small digital display front and center to control what is on there. There are steering wheel mounting controls found on the left side of the steering wheel there. That gives you things like outside temperature, how many miles you have left until you hit empty. Trip A, Trip B. There's actually a digital speedometer if you wanted to display that up there. I liked that and a bunch of other things as well, safety information, radio information. So pretty much everything you could possibly want on the digital portion of the gauges at least. But so to make our way to overall interior quality a power moonroof is gonna be optional on the SV and SR trim levels. Overhead sunglass holder though does come standard for all trim levels across the board. I like that. Dual zoom climate control for the SV and SR. Otherwise you're gonna get what you guys are looking at right now. It's just a manual dial basically. Frameless rear view mirror with home look controls go for a little over $400 if you wanted that option but just in front of the shifter you got rubberized storage here on our S trim level a 12 volt power outlet, USB charging port, aux port as well. Behind the shifter you got a little bit of storage there. You got dual cup holders and within the center armrest, a ton of space. Dang that is a lot of space. That's where the center really shines. Let me tell you guys, cause that is definitely more space than both the Civic and the Corolla. So if you got a lot of stuff this is gonna work out for you but honestly when it comes to interior quality it's not as bad as I expected. I gotta be honest. So you got a little bit of contrast stitching found in the doors. It feels like a soft touch material there. The elbow rest on the doors also perfectly fine as well. Nice soft touch material. I like the Audi-esque gauges found just below the infotainment screen. It gives it more of an upscale feel to it. Even surrounding the cup holders it's not finishing it just a matte black plastic. It's finished in kind of a texturized carbon fiber look kind of a pattern. So I like that as well surrounding the shifter you got a gloss black finish. And I know these things I'm saying aren't anything groundbreaking but for a car that only is going for $20,000 when you compare it to the competition that's actually not that bad I'm telling you guys. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. A seven inch color touchscreen display is gonna come on our S-Trial novel. However, that is bumped up for the SV and SR that puts you at an eight inch color touchscreen display. Either way you get Bluetooth and audio streaming. Either way you get Android, auto and Apple CarPlay. So if you have data on your phone that's free navigation displayed up there you gotta love that. You can check out your driving statistics up there along with your radio information. And so when it comes to the sound systems there are three of them in total. S-Trim level is gonna give you four speakers. SV and SR are going to give you a six speaker sound system and then there is an optional sound system available that is gonna be an eight speaker Bose sound system. So seeing as we have the S-Trim level with us here today we do that four speakers. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio and see what we got play in today and let's test out the clarity of this one. We both know what it's like to be. All right, a couple things with that four speaker sound system. I don't believe I've ever tested the four speaker sound system here in the Sentra. Bass impressed me and I've always said this. Nissan does an incredible job with the bass and their sound systems that they put in their vehicles. I didn't expect it to be that much bass. Having said that, clarity was like a four speaker sound system. I'll just put it that way, but the bass did really impress me. So for a four speaker sound system, it's not horrible, not the best clarity, but the bass was kind of impressive. But anyways, last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the Sentra in reverse, you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board, letting you know who or what is behind you, which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so first let me start by saying IIHS top safety pick. If you go with the SR-Trim level only because that's what gives you that LED lighting. Collagen lighting will never get an IIHS top safety pick, just saying. Front side, side current airbags do come standard, driver and passenger knee airbags as well. In the back you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors to tethers to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, temperature monitoring system, but also coming standard for ultram levels, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, rear automatic braking, lane trace assist, driver retention monitoring system, rear parking sensors, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert then as well. That's pretty notable. I like that. And then if you were to go with either the SV or SR-Trims, you're going to get adaptive cruise control on top of all of that as well. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the century, great steering feel. I love the weight to it. It definitely immediately points you in the direction that you want to go. Excellent braking as well, specifically for the SV and SR, just okay braking for the S, but the fact that you can get 60 to zero on 114 feet at the car in this price range, that's a sports sedan number right there. So that's absolutely amazing. Excellent price. I think that is definitely what's going to get most people's attention on this thing. The fact that this thing starts under $21,000 is absolutely incredible, especially with all the inflation we are getting. So gotta love that. Very good looking car as well in my personal opinion. The two things I think I would change about the center here would be wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. That would certainly be nice. A lot of manufacturers are doing that right now. The wires are going to completely go away in the future I know. And LED headlights coming standard for all trim levels across the board. I think that is a necessity as well. Reason I say that is because both the Corolla and the Civic both give you LED headlights coming standard and that would also make the center and IHS top safety pick for every single trim level across the board as well. So that is something I would certainly add in the future. But let me know what you guys think of our Centra S in the comments section below. That is about it for this one you guys.
