How we verify Nissan Sentra performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Nissan Sentra trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Nissan Sentra performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Nissan Sentra on record is the 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V , which runs 0–60 mph in 6.4 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 15.00 seconds at 94.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Nissan Sentra is the 1986 Nissan Sentra SE Coupe, which takes 13.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 19.20 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 44 verified runs, a Nissan Sentra reaches 60 mph in 8.48 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.48 seconds at roughly 85.3 mph.
We have verified test data for 19 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Nissan Sentra can do, not a single marketing claim.
