Nissan Sentra

Automobiles

The Nissan Sentra is a series of cars manufactured by Nissan since 1982, first as a subcompact and, since 1999, as a compact car. The first generation arrived in the United States in May 1982 as the direct replacement for the Datsun 310, and Nissan began building it at Smyrna, Tennessee in April 1985. Until 2006 it was a rebadged Japanese Nissan Sunny outside Japan, and since the 2013 model year it has been a rebadged Sylphy. In Mexico the early generations were sold as the Nissan Tsuru, and the B13 version carried that name until 2017. The Sentra grew over time, and the smaller Nissan Versa took over the entry level role. The name was created by Ira Bachrach of NameLab to suggest both central and sentry, hinting at safety.
