What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra debuts with a full redesign that gives this compact sedan a sharp, modern edge. Its updated exterior features sleek LED headlights and a bold, reshaped grille that help it stand out on the road. Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with premium materials and new technology, including available dual 12.3-inch displays that create a refined and high-tech atmosphere.
Though the Sentra keeps a familiar powertrain, Nissan has refined the transmission and suspension tuning to improve comfort and responsiveness. Another major update is the addition of ProPILOT Assist-a smart driver-assistance feature that helps with steering, braking, and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the 2026 Sentra in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. The base S trim now includes a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a big step up from last year's display. Nissan's Zero Gravity front seats also return, offering exceptional comfort and support for longer drives.
The SV trim adds a host of modern conveniences, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster. The SR model brings a sportier look to the lineup, with bold design touches that reflect its dynamic character.
At the top of the range, the SL trim offers a premium experience with TailorFit quilted seating, a Bose eight-speaker sound system, and a sunroof that adds light and luxury to the cabin.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Under the hood, the 2026 Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 149 horsepower. This setup strikes a balance between performance and efficiency, making it ideal for daily driving. The enhanced Xtronic continuously variable transmission ensures smoother acceleration, and drivers can engage the available Sport mode for a more spirited ride.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
The 2026 Sentra continues to prioritize safety with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This standard suite includes Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Every model also comes with a standard rearview camera, while the available Intelligent Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree look around the vehicle. For the first time, Blind Spot Intervention adds even more confidence on the road.
