What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra returns with a full redesign that gives this compact sedan a fresh, modern look. Its exterior now features sharp LED headlights and a bold, redesigned grille, creating a confident and stylish appearance. Inside, the cabin is upgraded with high-quality materials and the latest technology, including optional dual 12.3-inch displays that enhance both the infotainment and driver experience.
While the Sentra retains its familiar powertrain, improvements to the transmission and suspension provide a smoother, more refined ride. Nissan also introduces ProPILOT Assist for the first time, a driver-assistance feature that helps maintain lane position and adjusts following distance automatically for added safety.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
The 2026 Sentra is available in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the base S trim now comes with a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a notable upgrade from the previous smaller display. Nissan's Zero Gravity front seats continue to provide exceptional comfort for longer drives.
The SV trim adds extra convenience with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The SR trim introduces sportier exterior styling and design details for a more dynamic look.
The SL trim sits at the top of the lineup, offering premium features such as TailorFit quilted seating, a Bose eight-speaker sound system, and a sunroof that brightens the cabin.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Under the hood, the 2026 Sentra features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 149 horsepower. This setup delivers a well-balanced combination of efficiency and everyday performance. The updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission ensures smooth acceleration, while the available Sport mode enhances driving engagement when desired.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Safety remains a priority with the 2026 Sentra, which comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This suite includes Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition. The standard rearview camera is complemented by the available Intelligent Around View Monitor for a 360-degree perspective, and Blind Spot Intervention is offered for the first time to provide extra peace of mind.
