Nissan Sentra 1.8 130

The Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 reaches 60 mph in 9.37 s (100 km/h in 9.92 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.00 s, tripping the lights at 81.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s and the eighth mile in 10.98 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Sentra 1.8 130

The 2012 Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,280 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.64 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,049th quickest to 60 mph, and the 96th quickest of the 263 Nissans here. Its 81.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 0-60 time?
The Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 reaches 60 mph in 9.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,049th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 quarter mile time?
17.00 s at 81.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 have?
129 bhp and 1,280 kg, which is 101 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Nissan Sentra 1.8 130?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Marea Weekend 2.4 JTD 136 (9.35 s), Lancia Lybra Sedan 1.8 131 (9.39 s), Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 16V 144 (9.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Nissan Sentra 1.8 130 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
