Nissan Sentra

2007 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION: Poor

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $1,234


TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Nissan Sentra bumper system engaged the barrier resulting in cover, reinforcement, absorber and left side headlamp damage. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (cover, absorber & reinforcement extensions). During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop; in turn, the headlamp was driven into the fender, buckling the fender and an underlying bracket. Additionally, the windshield washer reservoir was crushed. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (cover, absorber and reinforcement).
