The facelifted Nissan Rogue a.k.a. X-Trail was not the only new model that was unveiled at the Miami Auto Show – Nissan also took the wraps off the 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo in The Magic City. As its name suggests, the SR Turbo is a new variant of the US-market Nissan Sentra, which is also known as the Sylphy here.
The V-motion facelift for the Nissan Sentra surfaced in late 2015, with an unchanged naturally-aspirated 1.8 litre MRA8DE engine with 130 hp and 174 Nm, mated to an improved Xtronic CVT gearbox. The facelift has helped sales – the Sentra is Nissan’s third best selling vehicle in the US with sales up 11.2% this year (through August).
A further boost for the compact is here. The SR Turbo is powered by a 1.6 litre Direct Injection Gasoline turbo engine that pushes out 188 hp and 240 Nm of torque, a massive increase of shove from 200 cc less. The engine, which also powers the Juke in the US, can be paired to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT auto with manual mode. By the way, this is not the first time the 1.6L DIG-T has gone in this sedan – Australia has had the Pulsar SSS since April 2015.
Nissan says that the range-topping Sentra also receives an enhanced body structure, revised steering system, larger front disc brakes and unique suspension tuning to help handle the increased power and torque. The result is improved acceleration from standing starts and highway passing, improved handling and enhanced ride comfort, it is claimed.
“The Sentra SR Turbo is designed for buyers who want all the attributes of traditional compact sedans but also desire some serious turbo performance. It’s truly the complete package for compact car buyers and enthusiasts alike,” said Michael Bunce, VP of product planning at Nissan North America. Are we looking at the new age Sentra SE-R?
Standard kit includes a power sliding glass moonroof and SR Turbo badging. The SR Turbo Premium Package, the only option pack, includes Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, leather seats and Bose audio with eight speakers. All SR-spec Sentras feature LED headlights, side skirts, rear spoiler with LED brake light, fog lights, chrome exhaust tip, heated wing mirrors with LED turn signals, and 17-inch alloys.
Like what you see? We won’t be betting on a “Sylphy Turbo Facelift” to challenge the Civic Turbo here, though.

ugly…honda civic better
but Civic is so weird. Get Audi/ BMW/ Merz straight la
Lexus better RV
BEST RV = don’t spend and put all the money in the bank
Jpj is not addressing the core problem. Nobody wants to drive on shoulder. Cure the traffic jam problem and you will solve the shoulder driving totally.
Lexus=glorified toyota
Toyota = glorified Daihatsu
Daihatsu = glorified Perodua
Perodua = glorified Tin can
Acura = glorified Honda
Honda = glorified Boon Siew motorbike
Infinity = glorified Nissan
Nissan = glorified Datsun
Bugatti = glorified Lambo
Lambo = glorified Porsche
Porsche = glorified Audi
Audi = glorified VW
VW = glorified Proton
Proton = glorified Junk
U forgot:
Toyota = glorified & unsafe moving junk
P1 = safer junk
camtakpro has a point, at what point do you stop with the ‘glorified’ perception. so, dont be a car-cist give the car merit where it is due without the discrimination of using the word ‘gloried’.
Bila mau mari?
Improve the Protonic/Protonian (whatever you like to call it) aftersales service first.
You mean VW aftersales better? LOL
Everything bad you quote to p1
even when there is worse maker you dun quote pulak
Topkek
Not relevant to Bolehland.
Stick to 2.0NA & #2airbags.
This person came out from which cave? The current sylphy here is with 1.8L engine and 6 airbags lah!
And ABS + EBD + ESC + TCS + VDC as standard across the range..
This one much much more better than Camry
VW Jetta < All
True.Jetta is the worst i ever owned!
While Nissan and Honda busy making their own engine to better and better. The lazy Toyota still asking ppl share your engine for their gt86 and supra. Please watch and learn from other company Toyota.
Cannot understand why some of this region’s marketing strategy is to change an already established name to something else (i.e. Corolla to Alis, Sentra to Slyphy, Cefiro to Teana)
Usually so they can either sell both old and new models or justify a price hike for the new models.
Afterall, “Corolla”, “Sunny” and “Sentra” didn’t sound so luxurious did it?
Please find some reading materials of the new millenium and you will find answers. The name altis comes from the word altitude, because that corolla was sold only to certain car market like Malaysia, Thailand, taiwan where bigger is better. It was not sold in america, Europe or Australia. Not sold even in Japan because it overlapped with several other Toyota models like avensis and premio. Same goes to Singapore which got its cars direct from Japan. Slowly though, the bigger size corolla made its way to america. And to Europe (in hatchback form known as Auris) and Singapore after AFTA. Nissan has many names for a model, depending on market. The 1980s Sentra for example was sold as Sunny in Japan and Pulsar in Australia. The name Almera came in late 90s. Sylphy is not a new name for Nissan cars, the same goes Teana.
Honda has many versions of accord with different bodies namely Vigor, Ascot, Inspire and Rafaga. Go to Japan and u will get shocked.
The Mk I perdana was an exact replica of galant eterna right down to its colours and wheels. Mitsubishi townbox (proton juara) was sold as 660 turbo. Mirage asti (proton putra) was sold in Japan in 1.5 litre spec, with plastic wheel covers and rear drum brakes. Its not strange at all.
Problem is the Sylphy nameplate sounds ultra-conservative (although this is reflected by the way Nissan cars are portrayed in this region).The Sentra or Pulsar are definitely sounds more evocative.Maybe Tan Chong have the guts to assemble & market the Pulsar SSS here..
Sentra = cent-bra
Pulsar = pusseh
Well, i don’t think ETCM has any confidence to offer this car here, especially with the hot new Civic in town.
what confidence , they probably gonna sell for rm200k…its probably strictly for us market..
The name reminds me of the old Hilux SR Turbo. 2.5L commonrail turbodiesel, 2WD, 4AT, no airbags no nothing.
If only etcm could market sylphy here with the 1.6 dig turbo, it would be awesome, even in China, they have Nissan tidaa (Latio) with the same engine. But for some funny reason, the folks in ETCM prefer to sell low spec cars, in comparison to the competition. Well I guess all the more reason for me not upgrade or change from my current j32 teana 250 cv v6, as there is nothing worth changing to in there current lineup…
That’s snail on road
