Nissan prices 2017 Sentra SR Turbo from $22,825 in US
The new Sentra SR Turbo arrives with 188hp and a choice of manual or CVT, aiming to bring extra performance to Nissan’s compact saloon range for 2017.
Nissan has set US pricing for the 2017 Sentra SR Turbo at $22,825, including destination, with the car due in dealerships from October 2016. The new flagship of the Sentra line introduces a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 188hp and 177lb ft of torque, a substantial increase over the standard car’s naturally aspirated unit.
Both six-speed manual and Xtronic CVT versions are priced identically, giving buyers a choice of transmission without a premium. The SR Turbo sits above the regular SR, gaining not just more power but also revised front springs, larger brake discs and Nissan’s Active Understeer Control system to help manage the extra output.
SR Turbo features and options
Visual changes include unique 17-inch alloy wheels, larger side sills and a trunk lip spoiler, distinguishing the SR Turbo from the rest of the Sentra range. Inside, the standard kit matches the SR trim, but buyers can add the SR Turbo Premium Package for $2,590. This brings leather upholstery, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, a 5.8-inch infotainment screen with navigation, and safety tech such as blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert.

Position in the market
The Sentra SR Turbo targets buyers seeking more performance in a compact saloon without the price tag of dedicated hot hatches. Its 188hp output puts it above the standard Sentra but below more aggressive rivals such as the Honda Civic Si and Ford Focus ST. For Nissan, the SR Turbo serves as a bridge between the mainstream Sentra and more extreme models in its global line-up, such as the Pulsar SSS offered in Australia.
