2020 Nissan Sentra Is Perfect For Recent College Grads

In the age of the crossover, who would’ve thought that the Nissan Sentra is the perfect car for recent college grads? First-time car-buyers are flocking to the eighth generation sedan due to its sharp design, high-tech features, and unparalleled value.

Autotrader even named the all-new 2020 Nissan Sentra as part of its “10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates in 2020” list, which judges new and used vehicles that fit certain criteria. Some of the areas that the editorial team focuses on include affordability, durability, and fuel economy of each model on the list.

Editors from Autotrader has the following comments to say about the 2020 Nissan Sentra:

The Nissan Sentra is all-new for 2020 and it’s a massive improvement over its aging predecessor. It gets a sharp new design inside and out that looks muscular on the outside and upscale on the inside. The Sentra offers a strong value with an affordable starting MSRP and generous standard technology that includes the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of driver assistance tech like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Take a look at the following video from Nissan USA to see highlights for the 2020 Sentra.

Another attractive quality surrounding the Sentra is its different styles that cater to the driver’s preference. Available in three well-equipped grade levels: S, SV, and SR, recent college grads and first-time car-buyers can choose which trim level best suits their needs and budget.

Revamped for the eighth generation is the all-new fuel-efficient4 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine which has more horsepower and torque than the previous generation Sentra. Furthermore, the Nissan Intelligent Trace Control technology comes standard across all 2020 Sentra models.

“There are plenty of basic, affordable economy cars. There are even some low-priced sporty cars. But what if you’re really looking for luxury on a budget? That’s why the Nissan Sentra is on our list,” said Brian Moody, executive director for Autotrader. “With interesting color choices, pleasing interior textures and patterns, and a specifically un-economy car look outside, it’s about as close to a new luxury car as you can get.”
