2025 Nissan Sentra // Who needs a hybrid with this fuel economy?

[@kevinW826]

Last month my wife and I went back to Ontario for a quick visit to our families and we got a base model Sentra as a rental. I was flirting with 43 mpgs equivalent at 120 kph on the 401. 800 kms at $55 for a full tank over four days driving from Toronto to St Catherines all the way up to Alliston, back to St Catherines and back to Pierson international airport. It did have lane keep assist, radar cruise control, heated seats and steering wheel. I loved the seats especially on the highway. And I had no issues getting it up to speed.

Nissan screams value. All the haters be hating but there no other loaded compact sedan that you can get for this price.🤩

@@mrgurulittle7000 Nissan screams cvt and engine probs 😆

[@johnkonde1975]

especially if you're buying brand new with the new car warranties, you know the cvt and engine are covered for the next 5 years

[@mrgurulittle7000]

@dad242 That’s why it screams value to me. While you guys buy the more expensive Toyotas and Hondas that are always marked up and have a long waiting period, these Nissans can be bought for much cheaper. Their reliable now by the way, so you’re not getting a better deal by buying a Toyota or Honda.

[@dad242]

@@mrgurulittle7000 nahh..the only reason they are selling low is because Nissan is struggling. I would buy a 2 yr Toyota or Honda over anything Nissan/Infinity has to offer.

[@mrgurulittle7000]

@dad242 And I assume at that point brand recognition is more important than value for money.

[@shawnahynes6954]

I have the 2025 nissan sentra (also the scarlet ember) and love it. I drive for a living, the mileage is great.

[@jeretso]

That light coco interior looks amazing. Lots of people work from home nowadays. Less people are long range driving to work. You need a hybrid for city miles. Remote workers get bored and go a few miles away and sit in the long drive tru starbucks while on conference call. They also grocery shop and eat out at lunchtime. Pick up the kids at school and take them to practice. 90% city miles.

[@vkphila]

I bought Altima sr 2024 for 26k, 5k off msrp, very very very happy, best new car for 26k

[@crabjoe]

What's the fuel mileage like in the Altima, especially on the highway?

[@vkphila]

@ highway around 38 i think, average is 30, I drive in Philadelphia/KOP, very heavy traffic area

[@RS-qz6by]

I got 2025 Camry for 29k otd. Only 3k more for a MUCH better car in every way.

[@vkphila]

@@RS-qz6by le?

[@vkphila]

that's a very good deal, i haven't found a deal for Toyota in my area, most of the deals were at MSRP or above, deff better buy than altima at this price

[@ChrisRobato]

The CVT aren't as bad as they used to, though I believe the oil needs to be changed somewhere around 50,000 to 100,000 miles. But most importantly the CVT makes it more gas efficient. A big plus with the car is that it has a non turbo engine and this engine is known to be reliable with it's biggest fault in being boring.

[@Erdie5]

Look at the interior on that thing! Holy cow!

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah they have come a long way!

[@mateocafe45]

I like it. I have a 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid. The truth is it hasn't saved me much money, because I don't drive enough, and I live in a hilly area. I wish I had just stuck with a full gas engine.

[@scraps0233]

That’s where I’m at with my car. I get 30-35 with my gas forte. Was looking into a Corolla hybrid but unsure on savings only driving 11,500 a year

[@jeretso]

@@scraps0233 If your trips are mostly highway then you dont need a hybrid. Hybrid shines at stop go idling picking up kids grocery gym restaurant.

[@scraps0233]

[@andrewgus8763]

I’m getting 35-40 mpg with my 2021 Camry non hybrid, I never saw a reason to spend $4K more on a hybrid version, then another $5K-$6K for a battery replacement. I bought the car new for $23.5K OTD.

[@crashryanphoto]

So we rented one in New Mexico and it was an excellent car. Drove it from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and into the mountains. Yes it needs at least 20 horses more. And I loved the dashboard design. I still prefer buttons and dials. Here's the irony, back in the day the Sentra would be considered a big car and high end. Today it's a small car and entry level. My how the times and expectations have changed.

[@TalismanPHX]

Nice interior design with the premium package. A great commuter vehicle. I'd still prefer the Mazda3 sedan over the Sentra, with 191 hp and the 6 speed automatic

[@stephenwierzbicki4463]

Kirk, it's a Very Good Budget Car 🚗💰for the money and it looks nice too 👍 👌.

[@brokeboy87]

I would rent one, but I can't see myself buying one despite Nissan putting more effort into the interior.

[@AbeyantHero]

big contrast from my rental Sentra experience. If they can put good value at an approachable price, it might save the reputation. They just now have to return to form with fun and innovative features like the 90s fleet offerings. SE-R Sentra might be kinda rad with a sunroof let's root for Nissan's come back

[@Sam-tx7le]

Do a 2025 jetta, seems like the best value in sport trim with the discounts and incentives

It will be challenging for Nissan to stay in business the next 5 years.

[@nextleveljourney6612]

I’ve read and heard that Honda is possibly buying some of Nissan stock (So basically like Toyota has done with Subaru and Mazda- Where Toyota has more than 10% stock in Mazda, And 20% of Subaru)

The hybrid to this which is the Sylphy is great to drive .. It is sad cause Nissan North American region manager is the reason for the cost cutting to get bigger profits .. The Sylphy, Altima elsewhere looks aay better, drives better, and has option hybrid systsem and the CVT is smooth ..

[@Offensively-normal]

I hope Nissan can find a way to get out the hole. It would be a shame to lose an affordable auto maker. I heard Honda might have a bag of cash available to them. Honestly a minority partnership might be the shot in the arm the need.

[@anydaynow01]

I think it's something they both need, Honda/Acura is getting eaten alive by Hyundai/KIA/Genesis and Toyota/Lexus/Mazda/Subaru steadily chipping away at it's market share.

[@2269tah]

Kirk, after all these years of constant complaints about the Nissan cvt, WHY ON EARTH are they still jamming it down the throats of perspective buyers? WHY does it take facing them going out of business in order to give us a problem free transmission? They only just created the Maurano with a standard transmission. Why can't they read the writing on the wall and do that for for all..... FOR ALL... of the lineup? I used to be a Nissan buyer for many years but they lost my business. I am hoping they change and I would jump back in.

[@vkphila]

@@2269tah cause it will make their cars more expensive, they’ve invested millions in those cvts and tried to make it cheap, if they would put regular 9 speed in altima or Sentra they would be 3-5k more expensive than it is now, and you internet warrior wouldn’t buy it still. Nissan is selling ok with incentives only, their cars are 3-5k less expensive than competitors, so stop whining about it. No one force you to buy it, go get Camry.

Anyway, I didn't expect to be attacked by you or anyone else. Why are you trying to bully someone for making a comment?

[@TinoMiller]

Understand that the government is forcing them to give better CO² emissions .. They are saving on carbon credits as well and their hybrids is coming in 2026 -2030 .. Keep in mind that these vehicles are e-Force elsewhere in the world .. Also remember that Nissan did have hybrids in the US with the Altima and Rogue but nobody wanted them .. Instead they really brought the leaf and it's why Nissan was not focused on their hybrids and that Carlos probably gave all of Nissan technological properties to Renault ..

[@Blank00]

Imagine someone buying a Sentra, ripping out the Zero Gravity passenger’s seat, and turning that seat into an office chair

[@MrTechnics]

If Nissan focuses on these based on the price alone, they’ll come out of bankruptcy. The reality is people want reliable cheap vehicles and nobody ultimately cares that it needs to be. Hybrid or suv. Out the door price matters !

[@TinoMiller]

Stop blaming Nissan and blame the dealers who want to hike the prices on these vehicles for no reason .. Nissan has no control on these dealerships markups above MSRP

[@dirtyexpert274]

Bring Manual back pls, i'm begging, also pov of consumer is nissan has problems. Even value can't bring customers to the dealer lots. No wonder why they only have 12-14 months left.
