The sixth generation model was introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, and it was starting to show its years.
In 2012, Nissan America tried its best to show up with a new car, but it was obvious the one presented was the same sedan making its world premiere at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing under the name Sylphy. The 2013 model year Nissan Sentra adopted new front and rear ends along with redesigned rims, new exterior finishes, LED lighting and a slightly lower belt line. The interior came with a new dashboard and instrumentation, new seats, more legroom as well as new tech features.
