Combining efficiency, style and comfort, the 2024 Nissan Sentra Advance emerges as an intriguing competitor against giants like the Toyota Corolla, although it struggles to establish itself firmly in the Brazilian market.
The Nissan Sentra Advance 2024, launched a little late in relation to the international market, arrives in Brazil bringing an intriguing mix of Japanese economy, American size and European driving dynamics. But the question that remains is: does it have what it takes to take on competitors like the Volkswagen Virtus Exclusive and the Toyota Corolla X? Let's unravel the mystery of this sedan that, despite its many qualities, still struggles to win the hearts of the Brazilian consumer.
The Sentra Advance, sold for around R$150.000, poses an interesting challenge in the sedan segment. It combines aerodynamic efficiency with a modern design, marked by well-defined lines and full LED headlights. However, some features, such as the lack of LEDs in the taillights, seem like a missed opportunity to reinforce its premium appeal.
Engine and consumption of the new Nissan Sentra
Despite its engine MR20DD Having been optimized for greater efficiency and power, delivering 11 more horsepower than the previous generation, its performance still lags behind rivals such as the Corolla and Virtus. However, it makes up for it with impressive fuel consumption, reaching up to 16,8 km/l on the highway.
Internally, the Sentra Advance offers a spacious cabin with a finish that balances comfort and quality well. A driving position is a highlight, providing a driving experience that enhances the essence of a sedan. Although the model has a good level of equipment, the absence of features such as an electrochromic rear-view mirror can be felt.
The 2024 Nissan Sentra Advance is a solid option for those looking for a true sedan that offers a great mix of comfort, efficiency, and driving pleasure. Its biggest challenge is to gain consumer trust, who may still be reluctant due to the temporary interruption of its sales in Brazil. For sedan enthusiasts looking for an alternative to the Corolla or Virtus, the Sentra Advance appears to be an interesting choice, despite its limitations. It represents a valuable proposition in the segment, deserving consideration from sedan buyers.
