2022 Nissan Sentra SR: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

Hey guys, Will here with WTF Car Reviews and today we're going to be reviewing this all-new 2022 Nissan Sentra SR. And huge thanks to Ben and the rest of the management and staff here at Courtesy Nissan in Tampa, Florida for making this review possible. These guys have an impressive inventory. I'll leave a link to it below. And if you're in the Tampa area looking for a new car or truck, I would definitely suggest checking these guys out. And as for Ben. So for those of you guys who don't know, the Sentra has been part of Nissan's lineup since 1982. That's when the first generation was released. It sat on several different platforms since then. Fast forward to 1999, they ended up releasing the fourth generation Nissan Sentra and that's when it became sold in the United States. Fast forward to 2019-2020, that's when this all-new eighth generation or fourth U.S. sold generation Sentra was released. And here for 2022, we have this SR trim. So the SR is going to give us the 149 horsepower, 146 pound-feet of torque, four-cylinder motor, same with all Nissan Sentras. But this is going to be a really, really impressive interior as well as a ton of exterior options that you wouldn't get on the base S Nissan Sentra. For 2022, all Nissan Sentras are going to have standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, which is a great feature. You bump up to the SV trim, you're going to get a 7-inch illuminated digital heads-up cluster, as well as an 8-inch touchscreen too, making the user interface significantly more convenient. And as we come to the SR trim, which is top of the line if you don't go for the Midnight Edition. But for the SR trim, we're going to get this smoked chrome grille as you see up front. We'll check that out in one second. We get 18-inch alloy wheels, although we're going to have these optional blacked-out rims here too. We get the two-tone color differentiation with the top of the roof right up top and a really, really impressive interior. But this SR trim is going to be completely fully loaded. Starting with the advanced safety features, we're going to have automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. We're going to have intelligent forward collision warning, rear auto braking, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning. The list really does go on and on. Once you check out the window sticker, I'll pause and let you guys see all the standard features. But as far as the options, we're also going to get quite a few of those too. We're going to have almost $3,000 in total options. Starting with the SR premium package, that's going to give us these LED headlights and LED daytime running strips. We're going to get power sliding moonroof with tilt. We're going to get these leatherette trim seats. Very, very nice seats. We're going to get six-way power adjustments, although as you'll see the driver's seat, it only comes up and down in one direction. You can't kind of cup it like a bucket seat like you can with a lot of seats, but still not a big deal. Super luxurious interior. We'll check all that out in one minute. Front seats are also going to be heated. We're going to have a heated steering wheel and a really good sounding eight-speaker premium Bose audio system. We're going to have a 360 camera, Wi-Fi hotspot, as well as these $700 18-inch aluminum rims. After a $1,000 destination charge, we're going to be sitting right under 27,000 bucks. What do we get for that price? Let's jump right in. So up front, you're going to notice your full LED headlights with daytime running strips as well. They're going to be also LEDs. And down here, they have a really nice light pattern, and I love this blue metallic paint color. It really, really pops. We have the black little contrast with LED fog lights. I like this little bottom portion here too. I like that little sharp edge, definitely making the front end look significantly more aggressive. And as we mentioned, we're not going to have the shiny chrome for this little V portion of the front grille. It's just going to be the smoke chrome material. It's still going to be kind of reflective. You can see me through the mirror, but it's not going to be obnoxiously shiny like you do get with other trims. And up front, you notice your Nissan badge is also going to be smoked out over here. Pretty massive. It's almost the size of my hand. It's a little bit dirty up front over here, but I do like these little hexagonal designs. This is all going to be blocked off, but you are going to get some airflow right over here, leading to your radiator for your two liter four cylinder engine. But we can take a step back and take a look at those daytime running strips right up front. They look really, really beautiful. And this blue paint color also, seriously, seriously gorgeous. But as far as this wheel and tire setup, this is also pretty impressive with these black rims. We get the five piece lug pattern. We do get wheel locks. That's going to be an option. Tires are going to be Hankook Energy GTs. The dimensions are 215 45 R18s. Pretty low profile setup. They definitely look really aggressive with these 18 inch rims, and it should be more than wide enough for this 149 horsepower four cylinder engine. I like how we're not going to have any plastic cladding for the outside of the wheel well. Definitely like these body color little strips on the outside for your side profile and the mirror. It's going to be blacked out with an LED strip right on the outside and the glass is going to fill up the frame pretty well. You're not going to have blind spot monitoring on the glass itself, but this vehicle does come equipped with blind spot monitoring. We also get smart access for the driver and the front passenger. As far as the blind spot monitoring, there's going to be sitting right over here. It's going to light up when there's a vehicle in your blind spot, but continuing along, we are going to have some pretty dark tints for the rear and the front. I like this blacked out B pillar. Love the black trim up top. Definitely going to limit the chrome as much as we can. We are going to have a chrome little strip right down here, but it's still a nice touch. They did not overdo it with the chrome in this vehicle at all, and most of the chrome on this vehicle is going to be smoked. I love this blacked out roof. No, this isn't going to be the midnight edition, but I still like this black roof. Nevertheless, we are going to get a sunroof up top too, and your antenna right back over there. No smart access for the rear, but not really expected with a compact sedan starting around $27,000, below $27,000 even after Destination. We're going to get the same wheel and tire setup back here. Disc brake, single piston, but that's about it. We continue along back here. Take a look at your tail lights with the reverse lights right underneath. Well, those are the turn signals. Reverse lights right over here. Center badge, Nissan, no smoke chrome over here. These are just going to be shiny chrome badges, but not a big deal. You got your SR, courtesy Nissan, shout out them, and your center badge right over here for your little trunk lid. Beneath that, we are going to get parking sensors and your reflectors right down there. I really like this little diffuser area with your hexagonal shapes and this little gum metal gray, and your exhaust tip right down over there. We'll take one more step back. You can take a look at the rear styling on this 2022 Sentra one last time. Let's start this two-liter four-cylinder up and hear how she sounds. All right, guys, that was, of course, the sound of the two-liter four-cylinder sold by Nissan for this 2022 Sentra. We can open up this hood area and really check it out. Unfortunately, we're not going to get any struts, but I'll try to show you guys the process of getting this prop rod set up without really burning myself right over here. We get the prop rod set up, and you guys can take a look. We're not going to get an engine cover, so pretty easy motor to work on. This motor is going to make 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. A little bit up when comes to torque compared to the Civic we reviewed, but a little bit down on power compared to the Corolla. Made it to the CVT transmission. This 3,100-pound sedan should get to 60 between the high H to mid-nine second range, so absolutely not the fastest, but when it comes to fuel economy, expect 28 city, 37 highway, between 32 and 34 combined miles per gallon, so really good fuel efficiency and really impressive interior. We'll check that out in one second, but we'll get this hood shut right here. I'll try to show you guys the process overall without dropping this hood on my head, but right here, shut it up. We can take a step back. You can take a look at those front daytime running strips one last time, but that's about it for the exterior on this 2022 Nissan Sentra SR. Really impressive styling. I love this blue contrast, especially with that smoked V-grille and the daytime running strips. Let's take a step over here and check out the interior on this 2022 Sentra SR because this is really where this car is going to shine. We are going to get the smart access for the driver and the front passenger, but as we open up over here, you'll notice we get soft touch for the upper part of the door panel, very soft touch too. Down here, we get this red contrast stitching with this leather, really soft leather too. Some of the softest materials over here, really soft armrest too with the contrast stitch. Definitely a thumbs up to Nissan for this door panel. Unbelievably high quality, definitely better than most of the competition. The grab handle is going to be a really well-weighted aluminum power one touch for the driver, no power one touch for the rest of the passengers, but it's still nice to get a power one touch. For the driver, this little full carbon fiber trim is going to surround your window controls, four-way adjustable mirrors, and you got your Bose audio system right down here. This little cup holder should fit a 12 ounce with no problem, and you can get a decent amount of snacks right over here with a little aluminum strip right outside. But as we step in, we get an illuminated Nissan nameplate. This does light up. You can't really notice right now because it's a pretty sunny day, but at night, it definitely becomes very, very noticeable. And right here, we get our Syntec seats. They're not going to be real genuine leather, but you could have fooled me. Unbelievably high quality, really solid bolstering supports over here, a little bit of cloth, so it's going to make it a little bit softer and cushionier for the shoulder area. And this area is not going to be perforated, but these are going to be heated seats, very soft, faux leather material, and this little strip right up top making it look a little bit more sporty. But coming down here, these seats are going to be full power adjustable, but you're not going to be able to lift them in both directions. You can only lift them in one direction, same with the drop. Recline them right here, and you are going to get lumbar support as well. But stepping inside over here, we can take a look at the interior from a firsthand perspective. And the first thing we notice is the steering wheel, of course, is going to be really thick, beautiful design, not the thickest up top, but more than thick enough, really fat 10-in-2 bolstering notches making it 10-in-2, really nice spot to hold your hands. The 9-in-3 is just about perfect, and it does get thicker in this location with a very solid cutout for your fingers. The thumb slot is just about perfect. You do get a flat bottom with some aluminum outlining this area over here, really high-quality looking steering wheel. This area over here is rubberized as far as the horn, not the most aggressive horn, wouldn't really be expected of the Nissan Sentra, but still more than aggressive enough, people should be getting out of your way. As far as the steering wheel controls, you can skip your songs, adjust the volume, all the left-hand touch, adjust the infotainment right over here, cruise control settings. You got your hill descent control, voice commands, and your radar cruise right over here. So with just a 7-inch gauge cluster or heads-up little cluster over here, you can go left and right just between average fuel economy. You see your overall information such as your TPMS, trip information, and your speed limit recognition sign over here. Bluetooth audio, we currently don't have the phone connected. You get your beeps for the blind spot monitoring as well as the overall sensing system. To the right, you get your VDC sensing, driver assistance, ECOMO setting, TPMS setting, clock, vehicle settings. We'll check out the vehicle settings, see what this vehicle has to offer. You can adjust the lights, locks, wipers, and the rear door alerts, so that lets you know if there's people still in your car. And over here, you got your overall settings as well. My personal favorite is just look at the digital speedometer. I like it right over here where I can see the average speed and a digital speedometer. And up top, you have your clock next to your thermometer and the mileage on the vehicle and the gas left in the tank based on your average fuel economy. As far as this tachometer goes to about 6,400 RPM, so pretty high revving naturally aspirated four-cylinder. The speedometer is going to go to 160. This car probably won't reach that speed, but it's still nice to get 160 mile an hour speedometer nevertheless. And your gas tank, of course, right underneath. These wiper controls, very satisfying click, some of the best in the business. We do get auto headlights for this sedan. We're not going to get rain-sensing wipers, not really expected, but you can adjust the speed of the wipers right over here when the rain gets more aggressive. To the left over here, we got our ECO mode, interior brightness, trip reset, and pop our trunk. Right over here, we can pop our hood down here and the gas tank release right next to it. I'm not sure if you guys can pick it up. It's getting a little bit dark, but this is the general vicinity where those pieces will be. The steering wheel is going to be tilt and telescoping. It's not going to be auto, wouldn't really be expected, but you can adjust it right over here. The dashboard, we get this beautiful leather trim, leatherette trim with the red contrast stitching. The full carbon fiber trim continues right here. This area, hard plastic, same with the frame. The frame area is going to be all hard plastic, but this area in the front where it's going to be stitched leather, where most people are going to be touching and looking at most of the time, is going to be really nice soft touch material. As far as the eight-inch touchscreen display, we're in our main menu right here. We don't have any devices connected, but we can check out our call history, AM, FM, Bluetooth, audio, USB settings. We do have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Right here, you can adjust between the clock and take a look at your overall settings. We can adjust the system voice camera. We can't take a look at the camera right here, but we can adjust the moving object detection as well as the display settings. Super impressive 360 camera, not really expected with the vehicle starting around $26,000, but we can adjust between the brightness, contrast, tint, color, and black level. Not the best resolution, but still super impressive that it's available in a vehicle starting around this price point. Anyway, continue along. Let's see what else we have available. We've got connections, sound settings, adjust the volume, bass, treble, whatnot. You can adjust between the fade of the sides of the speakers too. Clock, Nissan Connect services, volumes, and beeps, but that's about it. We can go back to the main menu right here. We've got a really nice vent, similar to what I get in the Camaro. Hazards to your passenger airbag. Auto climate, also impressive, but I personally use the manual climate. Even in vehicles with auto climate, not a big deal for me. We have the heated steering wheel. That's a great touch for colder climates, as well as heated seats. Beneath that, over here, we've got USB-C, USB port, and an AUX with a 12-volt right next to it. We're not going to get a wireless charging pad, unfortunately, but this area would be a pretty good spot to have one. Pretty nice area for engine start, stop button. It is going to be lit in red, and we get this really nice leather trim area for where your knee will often hit. The gear selector is going to be outlined in aluminum with some gloss black over here for the lettering. We can throw it into reverse right over here, and we can check out our rear view camera. So, like I mentioned, not the best resolution, but we do get guidance lines and trajectory and a really nice 360 camera. Those are always super nice features to have, especially for new drivers when you don't want them hitting a bunch of stuff. They can definitely save a bunch of dents and scratches on your 2022 Nissan Sentra. But continuing back over here, as far as the cupholders, pretty interesting shape. I've never seen a square cup, but it should definitely keep it in place. I would get that carbon fiber trim on the outside. As far as the key fob, I guess I'll show you guys old-school Nissan key fob with old-school Nissan badge. It hasn't even been updated to the new style badge. Over here, we have a nice little cubby. This could be a pretty good spot to put the keys, actually. Anyway, back here, we have this really soft center console area. It's going to have the red contrast stitching, too. Definitely a thumbs-up. Really comfortable area to rest your arm. I like how it leads, too, with this contrast stitching. Such a premium-looking interior. This is definitely the best interior that I've seen in this segment. We're still in reverse. Throw it back into parking, it immediately goes back into the original screen. But let's open this up right here, take a look at the space. Absolutely massive. I actually was not expecting it to be this large. You could easily fit two two-liter bottles of soda in here with no issues whatsoever. Easily fit a 12-pack of cans. Really impressive storage back here. Just about anything you need to fit, you'd be able to fit back there. As far as the center console, we could pop it right here. Not the most space. It's not lined with felt. It is damped. I'd say you fit between 10 to 12 license plates. Plenty of space, but not the most that I've seen. Continuing up top, as far as the mirror, we're not going to get a frameless auto-dimming, but you can simply dim the mirror yourself right over here. Sunglass holder, pretty nice to have light controls. And then we are going to have a power opening sunroof. You simply slide this open right here. It's not going to be automatic open. Oh, it is. You just got to double click it. But opens right up. Pretty nice day right now in Tampa, Florida. Sunny and 75. Really beautiful day. But I still don't like having sunroof open because it affects the audio quality. So we'll shut it up right here. Before we hop out in the backseat, let's take a look at this window sticker really quick and see anything that I may have missed. So, of course, we are going to get the two liter dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine with 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. Xtronic CVT, dual pinion electric step power steering, active understeer control, independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, intelligence trace control, active ride control, all that. As far as the advanced safety features, as we mentioned, we're going to get auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, intelligent forward collision warning, rear automatic braking, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning with haptic steering wheel, high beam assist, rear view monitor. We get Nissan advanced airbag system with dual stage supplemental driver and passenger front curtain airbags. Not going to go through all that. You can pause, take a look at all the rest of the advanced safety features. As far as comfort and convenience, we are going to get the Nissan intelligent key with push button ignition, remote start, dual zone auto climate. We get power one touch for the driver for the up and down manual tilt steering wheel. We get the intelligent auto headlamps, intelligent driver alertness and rear door alert. As far as the standard audio entertainment on the SR trim, you can pause, take a look. We are going to get some options over here, which gets rid of most of these standard features. Outside, we get our 18 inch alloy wheels. We are going to have a $700 upgrade for them to be black alloy wheels. We're going to have 215, 45, R18 all seasons, LED headlights with LED daytime runners, LED fog lamps as well. Black painted heated power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, dark chrome V motion grill, rear spoiler, lower body side sill extensions, chrome exhaust finisher. In the interior, we get a six-way manual driver's seat. Of course, we are going to have the upgraded six-way power driver's seat with two-way lumbar control, but these are just standard features. We're going to have the leather wrapped steering wheel standard, leather wrapped ship knob standard, sport cloth seat trim standard. We're also going to have upgraded seat trims, but after all these options, the base Nissan Sentra SR is going to come out to an MSRP just over 22,000 bucks, 22,100. As far as options, we are going to get a few of them. For 75 bucks, we get the clear rear bumper protector for 250. We get this absolutely gorgeous two-tone metallic paint. For 205, we get the carpeted floor mats with a trunk mat. 80 bucks gets you these door sill plates. They are going to be illuminated, so pretty good value for 80 bucks, but the big package for 2,500, we're going to get this SR premium package. This gives us the thin type LED headlights with LED daytime running lights too. We're going to get the power sliding glass moonroof with tilt feature, Primatex appointed seat trim. That's going to be this faux leather trim, really comfortable, really high quality trim, especially with these red accents. The seats also are going to be six-way power for the driver's seat with two-way lumbar control, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, eight-speaker Bose premium audio system, intelligent 360 monitor, Nissan services, sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors, Nissan connect with Wi-Fi hotspot, and the 700 bucks gets you these 18-inch black alloy wheels. After about 1,000 bucks for the destination, we're going to be sitting right under 27,000 bucks, pretty good value. The vehicle is not going to be the fastest, but as far as fuel economy, expect 32 combined MPGs, 28 city, 37 highway. I know people that have gotten up to 34 combined MPGs, so really, really fuel efficient vehicle. The interior, it's unbelievably luxurious. I love the exterior styling. Definitely a thumbs up so far. Can't wait to take it out for a drive. Before we do that, let's check out the back seat real quick, see how much space is offered back there, as well as the overall quality of the materials. All right, guys, step into the back seat of the 2022 Nissan Sentra SR. Up top, unfortunately, we're not going to get the same soft touch that we had in the back. Not a big deal, though, because that super soft leather trim with the contrast stitching does continue as we come down over here. The aluminum door handle also continues, really high-quality resistance to that faux carbon fiber trim. Right down here, no power one touch for the window, but still a power window, of course. Super soft trim over here for the elbow pad, solid little storage area, Bose premium audio system with a really large cup holder, which will probably be able to fit a big gulp back there. Not the most space for the snacks, but the area over here should fit just about any size bottle or cup that you would need. The seats back here, they're going to be pretty well bolstered, surprisingly bolstered for a back seat. The padding continues all the way out for the door frame, so the seat's going to feel pretty couch-like. Solid headrest, it's not going to be adjustable, not a very big deal. As far as legroom, as you see, looks pretty impressive. We'll take a step in here and really check it out. So again, I'm six feet tall, sitting behind my seat settings, and I still have at least two, three inches of legroom. Pretty impressive space for a compact sedan. My feet have more than enough space back here, too. We're not going to get any air vents, unfortunately. We do get a USB port back here. Air vents will be nice for a top trim. We do have a map pocket back here behind the passenger, no map pocket behind the driver, unfortunately. And this little center cubby right here does not have a string, so you got to jab your hand in between it, but the little area over here for your elbow is going to be very soft. Cup holders, not rubberized, but should still fit just about any size cup you would need. The light control is right back here. You can turn it on or off right back there, but that's about it for the back seat. It's about it for the interior overall. Let's check out the trunk real quick, then take this car out for a drive. All right, guys, so to get into this trunk, you simply pull this little latch right up here, and it does give you a little bit of a boost coming up. And this opening is absolutely massive. One of the largest openings in the segment. It's about just as wide as the trunk itself. You can be able to fit just about any size suitcase back here with literally zero issues. So huge thumbs up to Nissan for engineering such a massive opening for the trunk. You do get the additional little Sentra nameplate right here. Only complaint is that we're not going to have any little covers for these hinges. So if you pack up the trunk a little bit too high, expect these hinges to crush a little bit of your cargo if you do pack it high. So definitely be aware of that. Other than that, really massive trunk space. Definitely impressed. We can shut this thing up, take a look at the rear styling one last time, but that's about it for the inside and outside of this all new 2022 Sentra SR. Let's take it out for a drive. All right, guys, now we've just about seen everything we need to see with the inside and outside of this all new 2022 Nissan Sentra SR. Let's take it out for a drive and really see how it performs. And first thing I noticed, of course, steering wheel, absolutely wonderful shape, one of the best steering wheels in the segment, one of the best signals that I've ever viewed on this channel. Honestly, Nissan's been absolutely killing it when it comes to the steering wheels on all models, starting with the Pathfinder. The Frontier has a great steering wheel, too. One of the greatest steering racks in the business as well. But taking a step out here, really sharp throttle response. As soon as you start tapping the gas pedal, this vehicle really starts to move. It goes to about 2300 RPM and you get to about 30 miles an hour, basically zero gas pedal. Surprisingly sensitive when it comes to the tuning. We lean into the gas pedal a little bit more throughout this test drive to really see how this power plant works with this 2022 Nissan Sentra. My first impressions are definitely, definitely impressive. All right, guys, we've got a little open road right here. Should give us a good opportunity to see how this car can accelerate off the line. So right here, off the line, matting the gas pedal, pretty soft off the line, but once you cross about 4000, it really starts to pick up. You don't have to push it a whole lot farther than that, but we get to pretty decent speeds, more than quick enough. Definitely sufficient for a daily driver. Expect zero to 60 times to be around nine seconds. You may get a little bit quicker. You may be a little bit slower, but around nine seconds should be the average zero to 60 time on this car. But just cruising around here, going about 35 miles per hour, really soft. You don't feel the bumps really at all. Not a lot of wind noise. Once we take it to a little bit higher speeds, we'll see if the wind noise picks up. But just cruising around right here, really impressive. The steering also directly on center. As soon as you even think about turning the wheel, the vehicle changes directions, even with these 215 tires up front. Really impressive car so far. But all right, taking a step out here into this multiple lane road, the sun is really brutal right now, but about half throttle, we go to about 4000 RPM and we get highway speeds pretty effortlessly. It's just the tuning is kind of aggressive. So when you step in the gas about like halfway, it takes off pretty well. You feel like this vehicle has really, really strong power. It's just once you push it further, so from halfway to full throttle, you don't really feel that much more. So the tuning definitely prioritizes the first half of the gas pedal, if that makes any sense. And I'm sure most drivers care a lot more about the first half of the gas pedal than the second half. And that's what this vehicle is all about. It's about the commute. So when you're commuting, you want that first half of the gas pedal to be as strong as possible. The second half isn't necessarily as important, but taking a step over here, we'll do that into about halfway one more time. You'll see. You get the speed really just about effortlessly. Just cruising on this road about like 40 miles per hour. You do hear a little bit of road noise, pretty competitive with the segment, not quite as quiet as the Civic. The Civic's a little bit quieter when it comes to road noise, but just about the same as the Corolla. Right here, we can take a look at this vehicle's turning radius. The steering is so on center, so sharp, really, really impressive. And this turning radius is ridiculous too. Like, I don't know if you guys can pick it up, but we're just about perfectly flat. And this is like a zero turn lawnmower. We didn't even finish the lock on the steering wheel. One of the more impressive turning radiuses in the business. I'm going to have to put on the POV hat, try to show you guys firsthand how sharp this vehicle really does turn. All right, guys, taking a step out here in the all new 2022 Nissan Sentra SR. I apologize for the sun. I know it's probably really bright, but stepping out here, we'll lead on the gas right over here. See guys, it does have simulated gears too. This is a CVT transmission, but the simulated gears definitely make it feel more like a conventional automatic. And right here, you see the steering just responds instantly. And this turning radius is absolutely absurd. You see the steering wheel, it's not even done being turned. We got an, look at this. This is like an actual lawnmower, how tight this vehicle can turn. And stepping back out right over here. You definitely get to speed. It's not going to blow you away in terms of acceleration, but you definitely get there. Again, the top speed in this vehicle is going to be well over a hundred miles an hour. As far as overall speed, definitely nothing to be concerned with. You're definitely going to get there. It's just may take you a little bit longer. The engine note though, I think it sounds pretty good. This naturally aspirated four cylinder engine, camera mount just felt a good thing. We're using the POV camera right now, but as you see going about like 35, 37 miles an hour, you definitely hear a decent amount of road noise. All right, we can take a step out onto this road and it's going to be really rough. This is one of the rougher stretches of pavement in the area. And you'll see how this Nissan Sentra handles it. And I think it's handled pretty well. The ride quality in this vehicle is very impressive, but right here, boom, handles the bumps really well right here. It's like absolutely nothing. This car is actually really impressive when it comes to handling the bumps. Taking a step right back out onto this road, as soon as we get the chance, we'll try out one more little acceleration run. We'll lean into about halfway, third of the way right here, halfway right now. Boom. See, it goes to about 4,400 RPM and we get to highway speeds really effortlessly. Not a bad performer when it comes to highway acceleration. The only complaint I have is that once you get past the halfway mark, there really isn't a whole lot left. Right here, we can take a look at the on-road turning radius of this car. That guy who's playing along, he made it for us. And you'll see, we get onto just about any road with basically zero effort whatsoever. But light acceleration, daily acceleration, we're not even crossing 3,500 RPM. We get to 45 miles an hour just about effortlessly. Really torquey motor when you're low with the throttle. So they definitely did a great job tuning it. I wish they didn't get rid of the turbo option if we had an optional SR turbo like we had in the earlier models. That would be great. I'm sure not a lot of people bought it. That's why they ended up discontinuing it. But that VC turbo that we had in the Altima, I can only imagine how good of a performer this car would be if it had it. But right here, check out this response in the steering wheel. As soon as you start turning the wheel, this vehicle does an absolutely fantastic job when it comes to changing direction. Great steering rack, great steering wheel, really impressive overall. We'll hit the sharp turn over here a little bit quicker than we should. Give you guys a good idea of this vehicle's body roll right here. Way quicker than we should. Boom, basically zero body roll, no understeer. I'm actually surprised on how flat this vehicle remained. Really impressive. All in all, guys, I'm really impressed with this 2022 Sentra SR. It's not the fastest car. It's about as fast as the Civic. I think it's a little bit torquier than the Civic when it comes to the gas pedal. And the Corolla that we reviewed was with a manual transmission, so it's not a fair comparison. I feel like the Corolla had a little bit more power, whereas this is more comparable to the power plant on the Civic. Either way, though, this has better handling than both the Civic and the Corolla. I think the ride quality is a little bit softer compared to both vehicles, too, and the body roll is essentially nonexistent. I think this is the best handling vehicle in the segment. You do have a little bit extra road noise. Maybe it's the tires, maybe it's the Hankook tires, but either way, the road noise in this vehicle is a little bit more apparent than the Honda. About the same as the Toyota, but still, it's a little bit more road noise than I would want for a vehicle starting to approach close to $30,000. But anyway, either way, this is a super impressive vehicle. The interior, best in the segment. I haven't seen a better interior in the segment, especially considering the price tag. The Civic Sport that we reviewed is about the same price as this. We have cloth seats. We have just about no soft-touch materials anywhere in the interior. This vehicle has got Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, premium eight-speaker Bose sound system. Really a fully loaded compact sedan with a very solid power play and great tuning. I would definitely recommend anybody looking for a fully loaded compact sedan with good performance around the $25,000 price tag mark to definitely check this vehicle out.
