Nissan targets cabin NVH with big investment in Sentra upgrade

Significant updates to the seventh generation Sentra make the 2016 model Nissan's quietest and most dynamic-driving compact sedan to date. The automaker invested more than three times its typical outlay for a mid-cycle refresh on Sentra, according to Chris Schwerkoske, senior product planner.

The 2016 model contains more than 550 new parts involving the exterior, interior, suspension, and steering systems, Schwerkoske told Automotive Engineering.
