The compact sedan. The SE-R and Spec V variants are the enthusiast highlights.
The Nissan Sentra is the brand long-running compact sedan, a practical and affordable everyday car. For enthusiasts, the highlights are the SE-R and SE-R Spec V variants, which paired sportier suspension and more powerful engines (including the SR20DE and later QR25DE) with the compact body. The B13 SE-R of the early 1990s in particular is a cult favorite, often compared to a budget sport sedan of its day. Modern Sentras focus on value, efficiency, and comfort, with sharper styling in recent generations. On WhipJury, Sentra submissions favor the SE-R and Spec V models.
