2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo Performance

Word on the street was that a turbocharged version of the Sentra was going to come skidding into town one day. Well, we have good news because this sporty demon is coming and soon you’ll be able to follow the burnt rubber skid marks directly to our showroom.

The Sentra knows its place in the Nissan lineup and never once has been doubted after proving itself time-and-time again to be one of the very best compact sedans on the market. It’s highly regarded as an excellent commuter car because of its affordable price, impressive gas mileage, high safety scores, spacious interior, and huge selection of features.

What is the Nissan Sentra SR Turbo?

The Nissan Sentra is currently offered in five trims: S, FE+ S, SV, SR, and SL. In terms of sales, the SR is currently killing it and has quickly become a popular favorite. Therefore, when decided which trim would get the turbocharged boost, Nissan decided on the SR grade level (always taking into consideration what its fans and owners have to say.)

The Nissan SR already is the sportiest trim level within the lineup; therefore, not too much changes inside and out. (This also helps to keep the price down and maintain the Sentra’s affordable rate.) What DOES change drastically is the sleeping dragon beneath the hood…

Let’s face it. Life is more fun when things are turbocharged. Beneath the hood of the Nissan Sentra SR Turbo is a 1.6L Direct Injection Gasoline turbo engine. It’s able to fire up 188 horsepower (177 lb-ft of torque), an impressive feat for a compact car contending in such a reasonable price range.
