What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
Nissan's popular compact sedan has been fully redesigned for the 2026 model year. You will immediately notice the car's sleek new styling. Its front fascia flaunts slim LED headlights and a dramatic grille. On the inside, you'll find some exciting new features. Technology lovers will be especially interested in the newly available dual 12.3-inch displays. Upgraded interior materials make the all-new model more appealing.
While the Sentra returns with a similar powertrain, revised transmission and suspension tuning enhance driving dynamics. For the first time, Nissan offers the Sentra with ProPILOT Assist. This advanced driver-assistance system can perform several functions, including actively keeping the car centered in its lane and maintaining a safe following distance.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the new Sentra in four well-equipped trim levels: S, SV, SR, and SL. Even the entry-level S trim receives a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, which is noticeably larger than last year's standard 7.0-inch screen. Designed to reduce stress and muscle fatigue on long drives, Nissan's standard Zero Gravity front seats remain a big highlight.
Additional niceties are found on the SV trim, including wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity and a new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. For drivers who desire the look of a serious sports sedan, Nissan offers the racy Sentra SR.
Atop the range sits the more luxurious SL trim. Some of its upgrades include TailorFit quilted seating, a powerful Bose premium sound system with eight speakers, and a sunroof.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Underneath the Sentra's hood rests a proven 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. It develops a competitive 149 horsepower, which helps ensure a satisfying driving experience. An updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission optimizes fuel efficiency. If you desire a more engaging drive, simply activate the Sentra's available Sport mode.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Several confidence-boosting technologies come with Nissan Safety Shield 360. When a potential crash is sensed, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning prepares you to take action. Other key standard features include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition. While a traditional backup camera comes standard, Nissan's available 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor makes parking even less challenging. For the first time, Blind Spot Intervention is also offered on the Sentra.
