Its Sentra compact is also getting a design update and a new powertrain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2711\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2711\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/nissan-sentra-in-the-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/nissan-sentra-in-the-sunset.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/nissan-sentra-in-the-sunset-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/nissan-sentra-in-the-sunset-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/nissan-sentra-in-the-sunset-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Expert opinion says the Sentra could be the last car standing for Nissan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While other carmakers are slowly transitioning to truck and crossover production and dropping sedans off their lineup in the United States, Nissan is doing the opposite, albeit for a price. The company&rsquo;s share of the light-vehicle market in the U.S. has fallen to 12.4 percent in 2018 from 18.2 percent in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s tough to have two small sedans in a contracting part of the industry,&rdquo; shared Tyson Jominy, vice president of the Power Information Network at J.D. Power. &ldquo;It continues to amaze us how far sedan sales can fall. Every year the contraction gets worse and worse.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If the sales and market share continue to drop, however, it wouldn&rsquo;t be surprising if Nissan also decides to offer just one small sedan nameplate to somehow satisfy the low demand in America. Jominy&rsquo;s expert opinion is that the Sentra could be the last car standing for Nissan if the sedan segment fails to recover.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It has the better brand equity,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>But, according to Scott Shirley, vice president of marketing operations for Nissan, the brand is not planning on a lineup consolidation. He further stated that reports on the death of the small-sedan<br>\nmarket are exaggerated.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, the Versa and Sentra should do the talking for Nissan and prove that American roads still have room for small cars.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>In an industry gearing towards pickup trucks and crossovers and slowly veering away from sedans, Nissan is being stubborn by&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/nissan-keeps-faith-in-small-cars-amid-rise-of-truck-and-suv-demand\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[80],"ppma_author":[2607],"class_list":["post-2710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-nissan","entry"],"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nissan Keeps Faith in Small Cars amid Rise of Truck and SUV Demand - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nissan is confident its small cars can still thrive in a market that has bigger demands for larger vehicles.
