Powertrain

Under the hood of the 2016 Nissan Sentra S and SV models is a 1.8 Liter engine that offers up to 130 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 128 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 RPM. The intake and exhaust valves in this compact engine block are regulated precisely by a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System. The Nissan Direct Ignition System ensures that the engine starts up smoothly every time. The Sentra S has a standard manual transmission with six gear ratios. Optional in the Sentra S and standard in the SV, the Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) is engineered to deliver smooth shifting that combines the best of automatic and manual transmissions. The electric power steering system in the Sentra has a speed-sensitive design to ensure you don’t spin out of control.
