What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra arrives with a complete redesign, giving this compact sedan a bold, modern edge. Its new exterior showcases sharp LED headlights and a striking grille that make a strong first impression. Inside, the cabin feels more upscale thanks to improved materials and cutting-edge tech, including available dual 12.3-inch displays for an enhanced digital experience.
While the familiar powertrain returns, Nissan fine-tuned the transmission and suspension for smoother handling and a more composed ride. For the first time, ProPILOT Assist is available on the Sentra-an advanced driver-assist feature that helps maintain lane position and adjusts following distance automatically.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the 2026 Sentra in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the entry-level S model now includes a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing last year's smaller display. The brand's signature Zero Gravity front seats continue to provide excellent long-distance comfort.
Moving up to the SV trim brings added convenience, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a digital 12.3-inch gauge cluster. The SR trim gives the Sentra a sportier personality with eye-catching design elements and athletic styling.
The top-tier SL trim focuses on comfort and refinement, offering TailorFit quilted seating, a Bose premium sound system with eight speakers, and an available sunroof for an extra touch of luxury.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Powering the 2026 Sentra is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 149 horsepower, delivering a responsive yet efficient drive. The updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission enhances both performance and fuel economy, while the available Sport mode adds a more engaging feel behind the wheel.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Every 2026 Sentra comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of advanced safety technologies. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning helps alert you to potential hazards, while Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition provide added confidence on the road. The standard rearview camera can be upgraded to the available Intelligent Around View Monitor for a full 360-degree view, and for the first time, Blind Spot Intervention is included.
