Nissan Sentra Sr Turbo Safety
NHTSA safety across every Nissan Sentra Sr Turbo model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Nissan Sentra Sr Turbo we cover (2019 to 2019), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2019 at 82 on the NHTSA Safety Index. No recalls are on record across those years.
The 2019 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo is a sport-trimmed compact sedan aimed at budget-conscious buyers who want a little extra personality in a practical four-door package. Sitting at the top of the Sentra lineup for that model year, the SR Turbo targets younger drivers and small-family shoppers who prioritize everyday usability without giving up on a sportier aesthetic.
The 2019 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo presents a mixed safety profile. Its 5 out of 5 star side crash protection indicates robust performance in lateral impacts. The vehicle also earned a respectable 4 out of 5 stars for rollover resistance. However, a significant data gap exists: NHTSA did not rate frontal crash protection for this model, an absence buyers should note. The vehicle scores an overall Safety Index of 82 out of 100, placing it in the Strong category. While it has zero recalls, a notable positive, owner complaints total 202, including 16 reported crashes and 18 reported injuries. These figures, though unverified, are elevated for a single model year and merit consideration.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Sentra SR Turbo as a likable but niche entry in the compact sedan class, appreciating its sportier styling and added performance relative to base Sentra trims. Most agree the overall package is competent and accessible, though the segment is highly competitive and the SR Turbo is seen as offering personality more than outright class leadership.
- The frontal crash rating for the 2019 Sentra SR Turbo is Not Rated by NHTSA, meaning shoppers lack a direct federal data point for one of the most critical crash scenarios. Consider supplementing with IIHS test results when evaluating this model.
- Side crash protection earns a perfect 5 out of 5 stars, indicating strong structural performance in lateral impact events - a meaningful reassurance for city and highway driving alike.
- The 2019 model year carries zero federal recalls, which is a clean record and suggests no safety-critical defects were significant enough to trigger a manufacturer or NHTSA-mandated remedy during our coverage window.
- Owner complaints total 202 for this single model year, with 16 reported crashes and 18 reported injuries among the allegations. These are unverified and do not constitute confirmed defects, but the volume is elevated and worth monitoring through the NHTSA complaints database before purchase.
