The current 2008 Nissan Sentra has been designed on the Nissan’s "C" platform. After a total redesigning in 2007, the Sentra has got a totally new look both from the exterior and interior segments. For the latest line-up, there are some minor changes but however these small changes also make a lot of difference in the overall design. Currently, Sentra is available in five trims: the base 2.0, the 2.0 S, the 2.0 SL, the SE-R and the SE-R Spec-V. The manufacturer has given much emphasis on efficiency over style, but when it comes to overall performance very few models can give competition to this four-wheel car. One of the strongest aspects is the powerful engine that can be found under the hood.
Different Engine Configurations
For 2008 Sentra models, Nissan Motors includes a wide variety of engines with decent power that’s perfectly right for this type of car and the price point. The base model has MR20DE — 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine. This engine is designed to offer an exceptional balance of responsive acceleration, excellent low and mid-range torque and increased thermal efficiency. It provides 140 horsepower and a respectable performance and economy when paired with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). It even helps the driver to move ahead of the others on the highway or in the busy city streets. For those looking for more speed and power, the manufacturer has provided the medium-hot Sentra SE-R with a 177-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder and up-level Sentra SE-R Spec V with a more powerful 200-horse power version of that same engine. Both the engines give a smooth driving experience that can't be found in other economy sedans. With these engine configurations available in 2008 Nissan Sentra, one doesn't have to worry about quality, as it’s the best one in an economy sedan segment. Now have a tension free drive with the latest Sentra models.
