My Experience with the new 2020 Nissan Sentra SV


When Half-Way Motors Nissan Thunder Bay reached out to me to test drive their brand new 2020 Nissan Sentra SV and share for their upcoming Virtual Launch Party, I quite literally jumped at the chance to drive that electric blue beauty for the day, and take my Instagram family along for the ride! (see what I did there?! )


I picked up the 2020 Nissan Sentra SV right off the showroom floor, turned on the A/C, let the wind blow through my hair, and let the road take me where it may - and without fail it took me directly to Dolce Coffeehouse! It didn’t take long for me to notice how smooth and enjoyable the Sentra SV is to drive.


The thing that stood out to me the most is high how up you feel while driving, you sit above the trunk making it feel as though you have zero blind spots and because your so high up, all of the dash and steering wheel buttons are completely within reach so you’ll never have to tilt your head down to use any of the functions. This alone made me feel so safe while driving! The interior has gorgeous stitching detail and carbon accents all around the car making it not only safe but extremely stylish too! It has a high end feel with a more affordable price tag! However, my personal favorite feature is definitely the 8-inch color touch-screen display and Nissan Connect featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I love that all of your apple icons show up on the screen making it extremely easy to use everything! I was able to connect my Spotify and change songs without looking away from the road at all, the audio speakers aren’t bad either, huge thumbs up from me!

A big Thank You to everyone that sent in questions after watching my stories about the 2020 Nissan Sentra SV today. I am going to answer the most frequently asked ones below! Is the Nissan Sentra a good car? ‘The new Nissan Sentra is a new generation of Nissan’s compact Sentra which has been around since 1982.’ The Sentra has comfy seats, lots of tech, and upscale features, goes above and beyond in the safety category, has a smooth ride and offers good value for the price!


Is it Safe? One of the best things about the Nissan Sentra is it is packed with advanced safety technologies. From the blind spot warning, lane departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert to the automatic emergency braking with pedestrian protection and 10 supplemental airbags, you’ll always feel safe transporting you and your family wherever you go. What are the Specs?


  • 149-HP 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine

  • Dual-Pinion Electric Power Steering

  • 4- wheel disk brakes

  • Intelligent Trace Control

  • Intelligent Engine Brake

  • Active Ride Control

What features does it have for a Canadian winter? The Sentra has heated outside mirrors, heated front seats and steering wheel and traction control. I love this question! These are Thunder Bay winter necessities!
