background
The sensible Nissan Sentra 2.0 is an attractive ride with smooth handling, which makes it a top pick for many Nissan lovers. However, if your heart is set on tons of horsepower and torque, look elsewhere—the Nissan Sentra 2.0 doesn’t come with a V6.

That doesn't mean Nissan's lineup is without power, though. Here are a few alternatives from Nissan and the competition with the bang you want for your buck.

GT
trims are equipped with a 3.6L V6 capable of 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to pack a punch. If you must buy new, the Camry’s
TRD
,
XLE
, and
XSE
trims offer a gutsy 3.5L V6 with 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque.
