As for the design upgrades, there aren’t any. You won’t find any changes whatsoever compared to the MY18 Sentra. Exterior features include LED low-beam headlights with LED signature accents and boomerang-shaped taillights.
The Sentra SR offers a sportier appearance, with 17-inch 10-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels, lower body side sill extensions, rear spoiler with integrated LED brake light, fog lights and a chrome exhaust tip finisher.
The Nismo variant comes with more sex appeal. It gets tastefully applied red accents, sportier bumpers and 18-inch Nismo aluminium-alloy wheels. Nissan hasn’t shared the MY19 Sentra Nismo pictures yet, but the MY18 Sentra Nismo featured here should give you the idea.
Apparently, the Nismo variant also gets Nismo-tuned suspension and structural reinforcements to the chassis for a dynamic performance.
What’s new for the 2019 model year is the SV Special Edition Package, which features 17-inch aluminium-alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), power sliding glass moonroof with tilt feature, center room dim lamp (LED), dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors and a Special Edition badge.
Nissan seems to have forgotten to share the dashboard picture of the 2019 Sentra as well, however, the 2018 Sentra dashboard featured here should suffice. For the 2019 model year, all Sentra grades (except Sentra S) receive standard NissanConnect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Other features include a 7.0-inch touchscreen display, an 8-speaker Bose Premium audio system, tilt and telescopic steering, dual-zone climate control, power windows with driver’s one-touch auto up/down with auto-reverse, 6-way manual driver’s seat, 4-way manual front passenger’s seat, and Nissan Intelligent Key. Bluetooth hands-free phone system is standard on all grades.
The Nismo interiors are all black with red accents, carbon fibre trims, Alcantara-leather wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, sport seats, dark headliner and more.
More safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) comes as standard.
The Sentra also features standard Active Understeer Control (ACU) system (not available on S MT or Nismo), which utilizes intelligent control logic and brake actuators to lightly brake the inside front wheels during cornering (as required) to increase yaw-moment. Using the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)/Traction Control System (TCS) as its base, ACU is almost undetectable when it operates, Nissan said.
Powertrains
No change in the powertrains either. The 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine is tuned to deliver 124 hp and 125 lb-ft (170 Nm) of torque with CVT, while with a 6-speed manual, the output jumps to 130 hp and 128 lb-ft (174 Nm).
The 1.6L turbo delivers 188 hp and 177 lb-ft (240 Nm) of torque.
