Nissan Sentra B17

20132019 · B17 · sedan

Seventh-generation Sentra. 1.8L MRA8DE I4 (130hp) as the volume engine. Xtronic CVT standard; 6-speed manual was available on lower trims early in the run. FWD. The short-lived Sentra Nismo (2017-2019) added the 1.6L MR16DDT turbo from the Juke (188hp) but never broke out commercially. Compact sedan that competed on price and fuel economy, not refinement.

Watch out: Same Xtronic CVT concerns as every other Nissan from this era. Nissan extended the warranty after class-action settlement on earlier years. Check service history and budget for a CVT failure on higher-mileage cars. Beyond that, the MRA8DE has had some reports of timing-chain noise on cold start at high mileage.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
