Mid-size Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.

The 2013 Nissan Sentra is a mid-size sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (8.7 L/100 km) and hybrid (6.6 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 20-year-old one keeps roughly 5% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS).
