Nissan today announced U.S. pricing for the 2017 Nissan JUKE sport cross, which is on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide. The Nissan JUKE is offered in five grade levels, each available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive – S, SV and SL and two special NISMO editions, the JUKE NISMO and JUKE NISMO RS.
Enhancements for 2017 include new 17-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels, which are standard on SV and SL grades, and the contents of the previous Cold Weather Package – heated cloth front seats and heated outside mirrors – are now standard on the SV grade.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices1 (MSRP) for the 2017 Nissan JUKE:

All 2017 JUKE S, SV, SL and JUKE NISMO models come equipped with a standard 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGĂ”) Turbo, 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. One transmission is offered for S, SV and SL – Nissan's advanced Xtronic transmission with Sport Mode and D-step Logic Control, which simulates shifts, giving a more natural acceleration feeling without holding a high rpm constant. The JUKE NISMO FWD model is offered with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The JUKE NISMO RS includes unique engine, suspension, steering and brake tuning (versus the JUKE NISMO and standard JUKE grades). The JUKE NISMO RS increases the engine's performance to 215 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) and 210 lb-ft of torque (from 3,600 to 4,800 rpm) for the 6-speed manual transmission-equipped front-wheel drive model. The JUKE NISMO RS AWD with Xtronic transmission is rated at 211 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) and 184 lb-ft of torque (from 2,400 to 6,000 rpm).
Both the JUKE NISMO and NISMO RS include special exterior modifications designed to enhance aerodynamics, including NISMO front and rear fascias and side sills with a distinctive red stripe, special grille and light treatments, extended body-colored wheel flares, red outside mirror covers and unique rear spoiler and NISMO or NISMO RS badging.
All grade levels include standard Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start, RearView Monitor and NissanConnectSM with Mobile Apps – including a 5.0-inch color display, USB connection port for iPod® interface and other compatible devices, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Streaming audio via Bluetooth®, Siri™ Eyes Free and Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant2.
Other available features include Automatic Climate Control, premium cloth seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power moonroof, privacy glass, and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection3 and NissanConnect with Navigation and Mobile Apps, with 5.8-inch color touch-screen display, enhanced Voice Recognition for navigation and audio, SiriusXM® Traffic and SiriusXM® Travel Link™ (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately).
A unique aspect of the Nissan JUKE is the ability to personalize both the exterior and interior with a range of "color packs" to change the look and feel of the vehicle through the JUKE Color Studio (not available with JUKE NISMO models). For example, accessory 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are available with color inserts to match or contrast the body color. Special color accents can also be applied to the outside rearview mirror caps, side sills, rear roof spoiler and door handles. Interior color packs are offered for the door trim and other elements. Eight colors are available – Red, Yellow, Orange, White, Matte Black, Electric Blue, Black Purple and Carbon-Fiber Look – and a total of 12 accessories. The "affordable personalization" Color Studio offers easy online configuration and the ability to install the custom color parts and accessories at home or through individual dealers' parts and service facilities.

USA - Nissan announces pricing for the 2017 mode year Sentra sedan, more power, better equipment and tweaked looks.

  • Sentra lineup expands for 2017 with new Sentra SR Turbo – powered by new 188-horsepower 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGĂ”) turbocharged engine
  • SR Turbo starting MSRP just $21,990 for both 6-speed manual and Xtronic transmission versions
  • Sentra S, SV, SR and SL grades continue to offer standard 124 horsepower 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder – Sentra S 6MT starts at $16,990
  • All 2017 Sentra models offer improved interior quietness and nearly double the storage capacity in the front center console
Nissan today announced U.S. pricing for the 2017 Nissan Sentra and new Sentra SR Turbo. Normally aspirated Sentra models are on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide, while the new SR Turbo becomes available in October.
The Nissan Sentra, the company's third best-selling vehicle behind Altima and Rogue, has been a mainstay in the compact sedan segment for 35 years and seven generations. Following a consistent stream of product enhancements year after year – along with steadily increasing sales – Sentra kicks things up a few notches with the addition of the new SR Turbo.


Based on the popular Sentra SR grade, which accounts for more than 15 percent total Sentra sales, the new SR Turbo maintains the SR's unique sporty exterior, interior and wheel treatments, but with 50 percent more horsepower.
All 2017 Sentra grades include improved interior quietness due to increased front and rear window glass thickness and nearly double the storage capacity in the front center console.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices* (MSRP) for the 2017 Nissan Sentra: 
Model
Engine/Transmission
MSRP
Sentra S
1.8-liter 6MT
$16,990 USD
Sentra S
1.8-liter Xtronic
$17,990 USD

Sentra SR Turbo

$21,990 USD
Sentra SR Turbo
1.6-liter Xtronic
$21,990 USD
Destination and Handling $835.
At the heart of the 2017 SR Turbo is its new 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGĂ”) turbocharged engine rated at 188 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 177 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 - 5,200 RPM – 64 more horsepower and 52 more lb-ft of torque (41 percent more) than the non-turbo 2017 Sentra SR grade's 1.8-liter powerplant.
As expected of a vehicle with an engine like the 1.6-liter turbo, the Sentra SR Turbo is available with a 6-speed manual transmission, with gear ratios selected to take maximum advantage of the engine's powerband and torque curve. The SR Turbo is also offered with an advanced Xtronic transmission with manual mode, a version unique to the SR Turbo to match the new engine's performance. To help handle the increased power and torque, significant changes were made to the suspension, steering and brakes to give the new SR Turbo a great driving feel.
A number of Nissan's advanced Safety Shield Technologies and convenience features are available on the 2017 Sentra, including Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Also available are Siri Eyes Free™ voice recognition, Bose® Premium audio system with eight speakers, and NissanConnectSM with Navigation and Mobile Apps
