Going by names like the Sylphy and Pulsar in countries like China and Australia, the Nissan Sentra has proven to be a popular vehicle, no matter if you find it abroad, or right here in the Monmouth Junction area. The next-generation compact sedan was recently unveiled at the Beijing International Auto Show, and we were all able to get a sneak peek of the new 2013 Sentra and some of its bold new features.

The first thing you'll notice between the new Sentra, and its 2012 edition are the LED headlights and taillights that enhance a stronger, attention-grabbing stance. Besides the good looks of the 2013 Nissan Sentra, there's also a wealth of other features that make it one of the most competitive compact cars in the auto market today.

Among the new innovations that make the Sentra a popular choice include, remote keyless entry and push-button start, along with dual-zone climate control. The new Nissan compact also packs a competitive punch when it comes to engine technology under the hood with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The plan is for the engine to result in a more efficient Sentra, but we'll have to wait and see until official EPA fuel-economy estimates are released.

The 2013 Nissan Sentra is set to arrive in the showroom here at Acme Nissan this fall. Make sure to check back for more information on its forthcoming release on the blog.
