Multi-Dimensional 2007 Nissan Sentra Offers Distinctive Style, Surprising Roominess and Innovative Features
The all-new 2007 Nissan Sentra, which goes on sale in October 2006, is designed to live in two worlds - weekdays and weekends. It offers all the expected attributes of the previous generations of Sentra - good fuel economy, high levels of durability, quality and reliability, safety, an affordable price and low cost of ownership - and adds a completely unexpected level of style, roominess, responsiveness and versatility to meet the needs of its young, active, highly social target buyers.
Pricing of the 2007 Nissan Sentra is expected to begin at around $15,000 (nicely equipped with power door locks and windows, side-impact curtain air bags and air conditioning).
The new Sentra is much larger than the previous generation and should offer one of the largest interior volumes in the compact car class (final specifications will available closer to on-sale date). Built on Nissan's new "C" platform, this sixth generation Sentra has a 5.9-inch longer wheelbase than the 2006 model. It is 2.3 inches longer in overall length, 3.2 inches wider and sits 4.0 inches taller for easier ingress and egress and enhanced head room.
The new, roomy interior also features an array of innovative comfort and convenience features, including a 60/40 split double-folding rear seat with a fold-flat seat back angle for better utilization of the wide trunk pass-through opening; a special trunk divider panel which creates a hidden trunk storage compartment; and an integrated overhead compact disc holder.
Under the dramatically styled body is a totally all-new 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine designed to combine responsive acceleration with good fuel economy and efficient operation. The new Sentra will be available with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or optional Nissan Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
Along with more roominess and enhanced performance, 2007 Nissan Sentra will be offered with the widest array of premium equipment ever - including leather-appointed seating, Intelligent Key keyless entry system, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System and premium Rockford Fosgate-powered audio system with 6-disc autochanger, 8-channel amplifier and 8 speakers.
"The biggest change in the new Sentra is in concept, moving from "entry-level" to "aspirational," said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. "The addition of the new Nissan Versa hatchback and sedan allows us to move Sentra up in terms of both size and style. As a result, the new Sentra is a much stronger match for the image and usage needs of its active target buyers who lead highly social, morning-to-morning lifestyles."
The dramatic exterior of the new 2007 Nissan Sentra addresses one of the major "unmet needs" of compact sedan buyers - style and emotion. In keeping with Nissan's distinctive design language, the new Sentra features a sporty front end with Nissan signature headlights and grille. The profile includes a long wheelbase, short front and rear overhangs, crisp character lines and large door openings, while in the rear the high deck accentuates the roomy cabin and cargo area.
Inside, the interior continues the sporty, functional theme of the exterior, with the use of high quality materials, large gauges and a spacious, flexible center console. Designed to accommodate full-size adults in comfort, 2007 Nissan Sentra's passenger volume of 97.7 cubic feet is 9.2 cubic feet larger than the previous generation Sentra.
