The SE-R models are solid sport compacts, fun to drive, with a responsive suspension and a strong 165-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. For 2004, Sentra models get redesigned front and rear fascia and a newly styled hood. Also receiving changes for 2004 is the Sentra SE-R. New features include a new brake package for SE-R Spec V with Brembo front discs, a new interior charcoal fabric and two new exterior colors, Volcanic Orange and Sapphire Blue.

 

There are several interior upgrades as well, including a trip computer (standard on 2.5 S, SE-R and SE-R Spec V) and an enhanced Rockford Fosgate sound system. The names have changed, it still have the same dance to be jiggied to, in the Sentra lineup. Gone are the XE and GXE, replaced by alphanumeric 1.8 and 1.8 S designations.

 

Five models are available for 2004 with a choice of four-cylinder engines. All are four-door sedans with front-wheel drive. A 1.8-liter engine powers the 1.8 and 1.8 S models, while a 2.5-liter engine is used in the 2.5 S, SE-R, and SE-R Spec V.
