That means the overall proportions are changed, and the car will own better aerodynamics. The interior will also look more modern, and Nissan will provide the cabin that looks closer to the Nissan Altima model. As for the performance, the engine is still a mystery. No doubt, the new Sentra will draw more interest from the customers.
2021 Sentra Exterior Redesign
According to the latest reports, a new 2021 Nissan Sentra will be the next-gen model. The arriving sedan will now feature more styling cues borrowed from elegant Altima and sportier Maxima models. A prominent V-shaped grille remains, but arched headlights and new and are providing a more upright appearance. The rear part will get further changes on C-pillar, and floating roof design is brand-new.
The taillights are shaped in the same way as the headlights. 18-inch wheels are now looking more premium than the rims on the current Sentra. Nissan will provide eight exterior paints, and two-tone schemes will be optional. Lastly, the new Sentra will be two inches wider. Moreover, this sedan will now sit 2.1 inches closer to the ground.
Interior Upgrades
Inside the cabin, the 2021 Nissan Sentra will provide the same center stack as in the Altima sedan.
