Used 2018 Nissan Sentra SV

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Nissan Sentras generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the 2018 model is no exception. Major mechanical issues are uncommon, and the powertrain is well-proven.
• Maintenance (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs for the Sentra SV are typically low. Parts are readily available and servicing is straightforward, contributing to affordable long-term ownership.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Technology in the SV trim is functional but not cutting-edge. It includes a decent infotainment system with a touchscreen and Bluetooth, but advanced driver-assistance features are limited or optional on higher trims.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The Sentra SV excels in comfort for its class, especially with Nissan's Zero Gravity seats providing good support for longer drives. Rear passenger space is also quite generous, making it a comfortable option for families.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The 2018 Nissan Sentra SV offers a generally smooth ride for daily commuting, but it lacks any sporty feel or precise handling. The steering can feel a bit numb, and acceleration is adequate but not inspiring.
