With its bold new look and enhanced features, the redesigned 2026 Nissan Sentra is turning heads. This sedan combines refined driving mechanics with modern styling to create a compelling package. For those narrowing down their choice between the S and SV trims, here is how they stack up.
Performance
Every 2026 Sentra is equipped with a reliable powertrain designed for efficiency. The vehicle utilizes a 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine capable of developing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Power is channeled through a continuously variable transmission. To improve handling and comfort, both the S and SV trims feature Active Ride Control and Intelligent Engine Brake technology.
Appearance
Style comes standard on the base Sentra S, which features a distinct front fascia and sleek LED projector headlights. LED taillights are also part of the package. The S trim sits on 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, whereas the SV trim offers an upgrade to 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels for a sportier appearance.
Features
The Sentra S offers significant value through its robust standard features. The updated NissanConnect interface includes a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless connectivity for Apple Carplay® and Android Auto®. Inside, passengers can relax in Nissan's renowned Zero Gravity seats. Standard equipment also includes Nissan Safety Shield 360, Bluetooth®, and remote keyless entry with push-button start.
Moving to the SV trim unlocks additional comforts, including premium cloth seating and automatic climate control. The cabin is further modernized with a 12.3-inch digital gauge display.
