2010 Nissan Sentra Offers More, Priced Less

Competition in the compact car market is intense. This is particularly true since the launch of several stylish and fun-to-drive compacts in the market, namely the all-new Mazda3. Naturally, the interest in the Mazda3 has sparked a reaction from Nissan which competes against the 3 with the Sentra. In hopes of maintaining a slight edge, Nissan is introducing a price cut that will make the Sentra far more affordable than that of the Mazda3.

The 2010 Nissan Sentra will feature a price cut that could range from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars. Framingham Sentra dealers say it will also be more attractive for buyers for the 2010 model year as it will become available with all-new amenities such as leather seating and a satellite navigation system. These additions are modest admits Nissan Service Providence, but will go a long way in making the Sentra more competitive against similarly priced vehicles from Honda, Mazda, and even Volkswagen.

Also for the 2010 model year, the Nissan Sentra will get a simple exterior update. Headlight and taillights have been updated along with a new grille. Buyers at a Nissan dealer concentrating on Chattanooga used cars will also see all-new wheels available.

The Nissan Sentra price drop also applies to the top of the line SE-R Sec V. This Sentra model is specifically gears towards driving enthusiasts, and those that want to have relatively cheap speed. With price tag that’s less than $1,000 off the 2009 price, this performance-tuned Sentra is certainly competitively priced next to the likes of the Jetta and Civic Si.
