The 2025 Nissan Sentra SR is the sportiest expression of Nissan’s popular compact sedan, designed for those who want a sharp-looking, fuel-efficient daily driver without the high price tag of a sports car. For 2025, the SR trim stands out with aggressive styling cues like 18-inch alloy wheels, a dark chrome V-Motion grille, and a rear spoiler, all while maintaining the smooth ride quality the Sentra is known for.
Performance & Capability
- Engine: 2.0L Direct Injection 4-Cylinder
- Power: 149 hp @ 6,400 rpm
- Torque: 146 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm
- Transmission: Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Sport Mode
- Drive: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) The SR features a sport-tuned suspension and a multi-link rear suspension setup, which provides more responsive handling and a “planted” feel during cornering compared to the base trims.
Comfort & Practicality
The SR interior is designed with a premium, athletic feel, featuring sport cloth seats with orange contrast stitching (or available Prima-Tex™ leatherette). It comes standard with dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. Tech-wise, it boasts an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 7-inch digital driver information display.
Safety & Features
Like the rest of the lineup, the SR is packed with Nissan Safety Shield 360. Key standard safety features include:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning & Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- High Beam Assist For 2025, the SR also offers an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor (360-degree camera), which is a rare and helpful feature in the compact sedan segment.
Design & Utility
The SR is easily identified by its LED headlights with signature Daytime Running Lights and its sleek, aerodynamic profile. Despite its sporty look, it remains highly practical with 14.3 cubic feet of trunk space and 60/40-split folding rear seats, making it just as capable for a grocery run as it is for a weekend getaway.
