2004 Nissan Sentra Buyer's Guide
by Bob Plunkett

2004 Nissan Sentra

2004 Nissan Sentra

Nissan's compact-class Sentra sedan gains styling enhancements plus more convenience features. Headlamps and rear combination lamps have been reworked with smooth fascia added front and rear plus a carved hood and unique grille.

Inside, two race-style buckets stand in front of a split-and-fold bench. Cloth bucket seats are standard on all versions in three new colors, depending on model and trim.

Added interior gear ranges from Rockford Fosgate audio kits to a trip computer, optional sunroof and remote keyless entry system.

Models switch nomenclature with Sentra 1.8 replacing a base XE, Sentra GXE becoming the 1.8 S and the 2.5 LE changing to 2.5 S.

Sentra 1.8 and 1.8 S draw from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine worth 126 hp with five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic. Sentra 2.5 S stocks a 2.5-liter four-pack scored to 165 hp with the automatic shifter.

Sport-tuned SE-R and racy SE-R Spec V Sentras return with more equipment.

Power for SE-R Sentras is the twin-cam 2.5-liter four that hits 175 hp for the Spec V performance edition.
