Starting at $22,320 (with destination fees included), the 2024 Nissan Sentra is a small four-door sedan that checks several boxes for a student: a roomy trunk to transport their belongings from their family home to their collegiate home, decent fuel economy, and driver-assist features to keep them between the lines and avoid crashes on the road. The sedan’s low center of gravity also adds to the safety quotient over a larger SUV or truck, as newer drivers will find a sedan easier to manage.
