What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra makes a bold return with a complete redesign that gives this compact sedan a sleek, modern presence. Its updated exterior features stylish LED headlights and a bold new grille for a more confident look. Inside, the cabin has been refined with upgraded materials and the latest technology, including optional dual 12.3-inch screens that elevate the driving experience.
Although the powertrain remains familiar, improvements to the transmission and suspension provide a smoother, more engaging ride. For the first time, drivers can enjoy ProPILOT Assist, an advanced system that helps maintain lane position and adjusts following distance for added peace of mind.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
The 2026 Sentra lineup includes four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the base S model now features a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing last year's smaller unit. Nissan's signature Zero Gravity front seats continue to deliver excellent comfort on long trips.
The SV trim adds even more technology, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The SR trim gives the Sentra a sportier attitude with aggressive styling and performance-inspired details.
Topping the range, the SL trim enhances comfort and sophistication with TailorFit quilted seats, a Bose eight-speaker premium audio system, and a sunroof that lets in extra light and air.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Under the hood, the 2026 Sentra houses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 149 horsepower. This proven engine balances efficiency and performance, while an updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission helps improve fuel economy. For those seeking a livelier drive, the available Sport mode sharpens throttle response and adds excitement behind the wheel.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Nissan equips every 2026 Sentra with its advanced Safety Shield 360 suite. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning alerts you to potential dangers, while Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Prevention help prevent accidents. Traffic Sign Recognition and a standard rearview camera also come included. The available Intelligent Around View Monitor offers a 360-degree perspective, and for the first time, Blind Spot Intervention adds another layer of protection.
