Vehicle Highlights
The revised Sentra lineup eliminated both hatchback and wagon models--only 2-door and 4-door notchback sedans were included. They retained the front-wheel-drive configuration and featured the same subcompact dimensions. The model lineup consisted of E, XE, and GXE trim levels for the 4-door, along with E, XE, SE, and sporty SE-R model when ordering a 2-door. All but the SE-R came with the previous Sentra's 1.6-liter 4-cylinder. E models came with a 4-speed manual transmission standard or an optional 3-speed automatic. On the other trim levels, a 5-speed manual was standard, with a 4-speed automatic was the optional gearbox. The new SE-R featured a lively new 140-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. It also came with rear disc brakes in place of drums. An antilock braking system was an available option on both the SE-R and the GXE sedan.
