If you’re hoping for a more powerful Sentra, the new 2026 model won’t bring you joy. However, if you have the need for speed, you’re likely not a typical Sentra buyer.

Bright touchscreens, comfortable seats, and a stylish design make this the most appealing Sentra in recent memory.
Verdict: The 2026 Nissan Sentra is a stylish and safe compact sedan that delivers impressive technology at an attractive, affordable price. It’s not the most thrilling car in its segment (look to the Honda Civic or Mazda3 for that honor), but it nevertheless delivers premium, in-demand features.

What people say
Kwn the base model S . Lots of good features. Road noise is definite. Actually taking car back to have it checked for a bad bearing in the hub but it just may be the car design. Good head and leg room. Im 235 pounds and 6 foot. Seems like the design of the back glass doesnt give great view in rear view mirror. Turn radius is larger than my 2014 corolla so it doesnt like small spaces to turn around. Good gas mileage. Stiff steering. Lots of add on available by nissan.
I have a 2022 Nissan Sentra S auto, white , I find the car nice and powerful enough for me, good on gas , roomy , impressive looking , and have had no problems in my 2 years of use.
I thoroughly enjoy this car. It is a lot of fun to drive.
This vehicle, at this price point, provides tremendous value. It is stylish, handles well, has comfortable seats, and is outfitted with all the amenities that you need for your daily commute and more.
Just bought it. It’s nice with good gas mileage.
