2009 Nissan Sentra FE+ 2.0 SR - Click above for a high-res gallery

These days, many have seen their discretionary income fall faster than a ZR1's fuel gauge at full gallop. Recognizing this fact, Nissan has responded with a new iteration of the Sentra for 2009 called, rather cryptically, the FE+ 2.0 SR. On the surface, the new SR looks like the high-spec SE-R model - which itself has given up a bit of performance in the name of comfort and convenience over the last few years - with sporty front and rear fascias, a rear spoiler, smoked head- and tail-lamps and 16-inch alloy rims.

Despite its sporty appearance, this model's main purpose in life is to save on fuel bills. Under the hood lies the standard Sentra's 140-horsepower 2.0-liter four-banger, as opposed to the SE-R's enlarged 2.5-liter mill. When mated to the standard CVT transmission, Nissan is estimating that the SR will return 26 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway, which is a slight improvement over last year's 25/33 with the same powertrain combination.

The new SR will carry an MSRP of $17,760 (all prices plus $695 destination fee), which matches the price of the carry-over S model. Also available will be a base FE+ for $16,730, an up-level SL for $19,660 and the SE-R for $20,660. The top-rung SE-R Spec V will go for $21,160 and will be available solely with a 200-horsepower 2.5L mated to a manual transmission. Head past the break for the full press release.

Holy shit.

This... could be a good fucking thing.

If Nissan is still developing the SR20, that means a RWD version could eventually be released stateside. Holy jeebus!

^^^ sentras use MR20DE's. SR 2.0+ is just a naming scheme for nissan. i think the sr20 is officially retired from duty.

You're probably right. I might just be overly optomistic.

I just saw that the power figure matched the SR20DE and guessed it could still be the same.

it would be interesting if the sentra was rwd... very interesting. id like that acctualy

ugh guys, SR refers to the model
like S, SL, SE-R
the only thing they are doing are taking the se-r bumpers, headlights and tailights, and putting them on the S model. probably because the standard models are looking too plain in comparison to competitors.
I have an SL, the MR20DE is a good little torquey motor, but dont get your hopes up for another SR20
