A History of Premium Design
As you can see, the SR Turbo maintains the sport look of the Sentra SR, and borrows the powerful 1.6-liter DIG™ turbocharged engine from the NISMO. It has a lower price point and does not offer the 6-Speed Manual Transmission that the NISMO® does.
So what else does the NISMO® bring to the table? The name NISMO® actually refers to the inhouse tuning, motorsports, and performance division of Nissan, formed in 1984 to create vehicles specially-designed for the track. So when you see a vehicle with the NISMO® tag, you can be sure it comes with a powerful, track-ready engine, precision styling, and premium features.
And the 2019 Sentra NISMO® certainly lives up this name. The NISMO® external and internal design optimization applied to the 2019 Sentra gives not only a sleek, race-ready appearance but also optimizes performance.
