Looking for a wallet-friendly compact sedan with surprisingly high-end features? Whether you’re on a student’s budget while attending The University of Tennessee or you’re saving up for a home in Oak Ridge, the Sentra can help you keep your expenses low because it not only has a competitive price tag for the current market, but it also boasts a terrific fuel economy. So you’ll keep saving at the pump, even after you drive off our lot. As your premier Nissan dealer near Oak Ridge, our team at Rusty Wallace Nissan would love to show you this fun-to-drive and well-designed compact sedan.
We have a friendly sales team that’s knowledgeable on each trim of the Sentra, and we’re bringing in additional models daily, offering tons of vehicles for our Oak Ridge customers to explore. We know that drivers sometimes think that choosing a low-priced vehicle will mean giving up high-end features. That’s not the case with the Sentra, and we’ll prove it. Below, we’ll cover eight features of the Sentra that you’ll be surprised you can get at such a great price point.
#1 – Eight-Speaker Bose Sound System
You’ll love the available eight-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, which is optional on the SV and SR trims. Think about it: the Sentra seats five, so you’re getting more speakers than passengers, meaning everyone will enjoy a captivating surround sound experience, no matter where they’re seated. You can’t live near one of the country music capitals of the country and settle for a subpar sound system. In the Sentra, you don’t have to. That eight-speaker system will also bring audiobooks to life if you need some entertainment on your commutes. It will also help you hear every word clearly on podcasts and radio shows. It will almost sound like the artists and creators are right there in the sedan with you.
#2 – Zero Gravity Front and Rear Seats
Think getting a budget-friendly sedan means getting unimpressive seats? Think again. The Sentra has Zero Gravity Seats for front and rear outboard passengers. That’s right: even your rear-seat passengers get good seats. Zero Gravity Seats are designed to promote blood flow, fight muscle fatigue, and encourage good posture. So if your boss or parents have been getting on your case about “sitting up straight more,” these seats can provide some training on the road. Plus, they’ll help your body feel energized when you arrive at your destination after long drives. These seats are standard on every trim, so even if you don’t spring for one of the higher entries, you’ll enjoy ultra-comfortable seats.

#3 – Remote Engine Start
It’s no secret that summers can get hot and humid in Oak Ridge. You can’t always take a dip in Melton Hill Lake, but you can ensure your cabin climate is cool and refreshing thanks to the Remote Engine Start system. It comes standard on the top SR trim, and it allows you to use your key to start your engine and activate the climate control even when you’re nowhere near your vehicle. So you can slide into a perfectly temperate cabin every time. While winters don’t get too cold around here, you can also turn on the heat before getting in your Sentra for a cozy cabin on cold days. This is a feature many of our customers are surprised they can find on such an affordable vehicle.
#4 – Built-In Wi-Fi Hotspot
Whether you’re a student, parent, or professional, you know the value of having Wi-Fi in your vehicle. You might not have an unlimited data plan on your phone, which means that your navigation app could stop working on you when you needed it most, or that live stream you were listening to could cut out just as things were getting interesting. Hey, maybe your phone’s own Wi-Fi just gets spotty in some areas of the city.
There are plenty of reasons why having built-in Wi-Fi in your vehicle can come in handy, and in the Sentra, you can have it. With a NissanConnect subscription, you can get a Wi-Fi hotspot capable of connecting to up to seven devices at once. That means you and each of your passengers can log onto the internet in your vehicle at the same time. And two of you can even log onto two devices if you’re having a tech-heavy day.
#5 – Mesmerizing Moonroof
Want to enjoy some natural light on beautiful Tennessee spring days or stargaze at night? Both the SV and SR trims have the option of a moonroof, so you can push a button and let the sky in. You know that the night stars just shine brighter outside of the big city, and the available moonroof will let you take full advantage of that.
#6 – Leatherette or Leather Upholstery
Looking to add a touch of sophistication to your vehicle? On the SV trim, you can get quilted leather-appointed seats that give a distinctly upscale look to this well-priced sedan. Move up to the SR trim, and you can get leatherette seats. These seats look like real leather but are easier to clean. Spills wipe away easily, and you won’t need specialized cleaning supplies to handle leatherette upkeep.

#7 – Heated, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
Both the SV and SR trims get a stunning leather steering wheel; add the optional Premium Package on the SR or the All-Weather package on the SV, and you’ll also enjoy a heated steering wheel. When your hands get cold, they aren’t as nimble, making it harder to make precise and quick maneuvers. A heated steering wheel warms up your fingers and makes you ready to command the road.
#8 – Front Seats With Heat, Power, and Lumbar Support
As part of the Premium Package available on the SV and SR trims, you can get heated front seats with two-way power adjustability and lumbar support. So that means you can enjoy full-body warmth on chilly mornings, and adjust your seat to get into the ideal position for long drives. Whether you stay within the city or head up the Oak Ridge Turnpike to explore outside the city, you’ll like having the option to adjust your seat. Plus, you get support to the sensitive lower back region to fight bodily fatigue.
