What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra, a popular choice in the compact sedan segment, has been completely redesigned. Its refreshed exterior features slim LED headlights and a bold grille that give the car a modern, sleek appearance. Inside, technology enthusiasts will appreciate the available dual 12.3-inch displays and upgraded interior materials that enhance both comfort and style.
While the Sentra retains a similar powertrain, improvements to the transmission and suspension provide smoother handling and better ride quality. For the first time, the Sentra is available with Nissan's ProPILOT Assist, a driver-assistance system that helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane and maintains a safe following distance.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
The new Sentra comes in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the base S trim now features a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a noticeable upgrade from the previous 7.0-inch screen. Nissan's Zero Gravity front seats, designed to reduce fatigue on long drives, continue to be a standout feature.
The SV trim adds conveniences like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. For a sportier look, the SR trim offers aggressive styling cues that make it stand out.
The top-of-the-line SL trim focuses on luxury, featuring TailorFit quilted seating, a premium Bose sound system with eight speakers, and a sunroof.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Under the hood, the Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that delivers 149 horsepower, offering a satisfying and balanced driving experience. The updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission enhances fuel efficiency, and the available Sport mode provides a more engaging drive when desired.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
The Sentra comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes a suite of technologies to enhance driver confidence. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning alerts you to potential hazards, while Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition are also included. A standard backup camera is complemented by the available 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor for easier parking. For the first time, Blind Spot Intervention is offered on this model.
