The latest generation Later Nissan Sentra launched in the US just three years ago, but the formerly small sedan could soon be upgraded if the latest changes to it Chinese cousin is any sign, according to carcage.
In case you lost it:
The Nissan Sylphy for the Chinese market, which is basically the same as the B18 Sentra, has just been redesigned, bringing subtle changes to the exterior and adding some tweaks to the interior, namely with a larger size. . infotainment screen based on touch-based shortcuts – our favorites.
Like any upgrade today, the Nissan Sylphy focuses on the front and rear bumpers to give the car a more polished look. Sylphy’s front end has a larger grille, according to carcage, but it doesn’t seem to extend completely downward like the current Sentra’s grille. It’s a small, but welcome change. I guess I just wish modern automotive design got rid of its obsession with top-to-bottom grilles.

The Sylphy also looks sleeker at the front thanks to new headlights, which aren’t really new; they just present a different look, most evident in the shape and orientation of the LED daytime running lights. Small changes that make up a new design hardly change the previous design, but that’s for the best!
The Latest Nissan Sentra, or Sylphy, brought major changes to the sedan that made the old model look almost sloppy in comparison. The only downside is that the eighth generation Sentra is larger than the seventh generation, but that’s on par for the course now. Honda Civic and other “small” sedans have shown.
Continuing with the theme of changes that we’re not always excited about is the new infotainment system in Sylphy, which comes with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen that’s said to have keyboard shortcuts. touch. However, the touch is never as responsive as its name suggests, and drivers can’t head into anything while automakers insist that there’s actually something there. The good thing is that Sylphy still comes with physical HVAC controls and even the old analog assembly.
The upgrade carries the main mechanical components of the Sylphy sold in China, which means it will still be equipped with a 1.6-liter inline-four or a 1.2-liter engine combined with a four-cylinder engine. electromechanical. It is also known as Nissan’s e-Power drive systemand it’s a neat configuration that delivers more fuel efficiency—up to 78 miles per gallon in some places like the Japanese market Nissan Note Aura.
The e-Power setup improves performance somewhat, but the series hybrid technology is primarily aimed at improving HEV range per tank, which sounds like a paradox. Styling changes to the American model may already be in the works, but the big question is whether the 2024 Nissan Sentra will come with an e-Power powertrain option. Sadly, the answer is probably no.
