2020 Nissan Sentra SR Premium Test Drive and Review

So here we are with the fully loaded newly redesigned Nissan Sentra. This one's been brand new redesigned for 2020. I've done a lot of videos on this but a subscriber has brought to my attention that I did not do the Sentra SR Premium, the top package yet. So here it is in the super black. I'm going to tell you what comes with this top package, fully redesigned. Before I do guys, do not forget to subscribe to Cars Unlocked. If you want to see me unlock a vehicle, do not hesitate to ask me in the comment section below. As this video is proof, I'll do my best to get to it. As always, follow me on Instagram but let's take a look at this. When we look at the front, we can see that everything's been fully changed. That nice and large V-motion grille that Nissan has goes right almost to the ground of the Sentra here. And you can see from that angle that this front emblem has been flattened out. That's going be for things like our forward emergency braking, our forward collision detection, and our emergency alerts. One of my favorite things about this top SR Premium package is it comes with the Nissan LED signature headlights and it does have the Nissan thin LED strips. So very visible at nighttime. A real pleasure to drive. Let's take a look at the back. This one being the SR, you get this nice thin rear spoiler as well. We do have some rear sensors and the backup camera. This being the SR Premium, it gives you that full 360 around view monitor. So that's going to help you when you park. Popping the trunk, there's a trunk release right under the Nissan emblem. Really large trunk. That's what the Sentra's been known for. It's a 60-40 split with the seats and 14 cubic feet of cargo capacity. So lots of space back there for whatever you're hauling. When we look at the side profile, we can see Nissan really focused on small accents when they redesign this. For example, we have this nice chrome accent right below the mirrors and it goes all the way to the back of the car. And then they added this rear floating roof look where this part is blacked out. We've noticed that on a lot of Nissans starting with the Nissan Maxima redesign in 2017. We do have nice LED turning signals right on the mirror there as well. And then this one being the SR model, we get the 18-inch two-tone aluminum alloy rims with the silver and the black. Let's check out the power plant here. I've always found the Sentras to be underpowered. Last year's model, the 2019, had a 1.8 four-cylinder engine. Now we have a two-litre four-cylinder engine. It's going to give you about 149 horsepower and 146 pounds-feet of torque. Fuel mileage still is very good. That's one thing the Sentra has been known for. 7.3 litres per every 100 kilometers combined between the highway and the city or 39 miles per gallon. So very, very good fuel economy here. Sentra has been known for that. Lots of space. I like to lean towards these cars if my customers are telling me they want to drive Uber or skip the dishes or things like that because there's lots of space inside and they're really good on fuel. The inside is where this premium package really earns its value. Let's check it out. When I open it up, you can see it does come with the eight-way power adjustable driver's seat and then you see it has the black and orange leather seats. So that's one thing you get with the premium power adjustable seat and a nice leather finish. When we jump behind the wheel, the interior of the Sentra has been fully redesigned for 2020. I really like the look of it. They added this nice D-shaped wheel. You get the intelligent cruise control so that will assist you when you're driving on the highway. It's also going to come with this nice eight-inch infotainment system. They kind of added this tablet look this year which really helps when you're looking at the road. It's not such a big diversion to take your eyes down to the screen. One thing that comes with the SR Premium is the Bose audio sound system. So here we can turn up the Sirius XM. Yes, Luke Bryan's on. That sounds pretty good coming through the Bose audio. The music sounds great in this car. You do have a really sporty feel that you're not really used to when you sit in the Sentra. A lot of people now when they get in this car, they instantly assume it's an Altima but they're surprised when I tell them it's a Nissan Sentra. So we're taking it on the highway now and a lot better acceleration than previous models. I mentioned that in my other unlocks of the Sentra. Now with 149 horsepower, I have a bit more confidence when I'm putting my foot down and stepping on it. It really takes off and then you have the added safety technology just to give you more confidence like the blind spot monitor, the forward collision sensor and the emergency braking. The Sentra actually has the most safety features for the vehicles in its class. So forward emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, rear pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning. They basically put everything into the Sentra and they didn't put the pro pilot assist in this Sentra. But if they did, nobody would really buy the Altimas because this is basically an Altima at a cheaper price point. A little less space but I'm very very happy with the drive. I've had a Sentra as a demo for about three or four months now and they're a real pleasure to drive. No complaints with it so far. Fuel economy is great. It's about 40 bucks to give you a full tank depending on the price and you can really go about 500-600 kilometers on one tank if you do it efficiently. So no complaints with the drive of the Sentra. Real pleasure to drive. There you have it guys. Let me know what you think of this highest model of the Sentra. Any questions always tell me in the comment section below.
