Overview of the Vehicle
The 2026 Nissan Sentra receives its most comprehensive redesign ever, though the powertrain remains unchanged. The familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with a retuned CVT transmission. Despite modest acceleration (8.2 seconds to 60 mph), fuel economy stays competitive at 33-34 mpg combined. Four trims span from the base S ($23,845) to the loaded SL ($29,235), all with improved structural rigidity for better handling.
Technology Highlights
Tech upgrades shine brightest in the new Sentra. Every model gets a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, with upper trims adding a matching digital gauge cluster for a sleek "monolith display." Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto come standard on SV and above. The available Bose Premium Audio system delivers rich sound through eight speakers. ProPilot Assist debuts with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance, while NissanConnect services offer remote start and Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity.
