What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra has been fully redesigned, giving it a fresh, modern look in the compact sedan segment. Its exterior now features sleek LED headlights and a bold grille, creating a more striking presence on the road. Inside, technology fans will appreciate the optional dual 12.3-inch displays, while upgraded interior materials enhance comfort and overall appeal.
Although the powertrain remains largely unchanged, improvements to the transmission and suspension provide smoother handling and a more refined ride. For the first time, the Sentra offers Nissan's ProPILOT Assist, which helps keep the car centered in its lane and maintains a safe following distance.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
The 2026 Sentra comes in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the base S trim now includes a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a significant upgrade from the previous 7.0-inch display. The standard Zero Gravity front seats, designed to reduce fatigue on long drives, continue to be a highlight.
The SV trim adds features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. For those seeking a sportier appearance, the SR trim offers more aggressive styling cues.
The top-of-the-line SL trim focuses on luxury, with upgrades that include 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 features a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 149 horsepower, providing a balanced and enjoyable driving experience. The updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission optimizes fuel efficiency, and the available Sport mode delivers a more engaging drive when desired.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Nissan Safety Shield 360 comes standard, offering a range of driver-assistance technologies for added confidence. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning alerts you to potential collisions, while Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition are also included. The standard backup camera is complemented by the available 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor, and Blind Spot Intervention is offered for the first time on the Sentra.
