2019 Nissan Sentra - Electric Vehicle Guide
The 2019 Nissan Sentra belongs to a Nissan Sentra lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 31 model years, from 1982 to 2026. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Sentra entirely. It is configured as front-wheel drive with a manual 6-spd. The 2019 sits mid-run, with both earlier (1982) and later (2026) Sentra model years also documented.
The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 3 brake fluid, Long Life battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 13 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 80 ft-lb.
