Here's where the Nissan Sentra is a letdown. Its EPA ratings, of just 24 mpg city, 31 highway, are actually worse than those of many mid-size sedans—and even when you get the more efficient CVT, ratings rise only somewhat, to 27/34. The performance-oriented SE-R Spec.V rates only 21/28—figures that, on the highway are beat by a number of larger V-6 performance coupes.
Conclusion
The 2012 Nissan Sentra looks like a very fuel-efficient small car, but it has no high-mileage numbers to boast about.
