The Nissan Sentra is a popular series of automobiles produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Nissan since 1982. Initially categorized as a subcompact car, the Sentra has been considered a compact car since 1999. From 1999 to 2006, the Sentra was essentially a rebadged export version of the Nissan Sunny, a popular Japanese model. However, starting with the 2013 model year, the Sentra became a rebadged export version of the Sylphy.
Interestingly, the Sentra nameplate is not used in Japan, where the car is marketed as the Nissan Sunny. However, in many other countries in Latin America, the Nissan Sunny is sold under the Sentra branding.
