The Sentra case

The compact sedan to test-drive first.

Available integrated dual 12.3-inch displays put Sentra's cabin squarely in the new-school compact conversation.

360 shield

Driver assistance that feels built for the GTA.

$27.9k local

A practical Alta Nissan starting point.

Why it feels different
