The overview
Nissan gave the 2026 Sentra a thorough refresh inside and out, with new styling, more modern features, and more advanced driver aids. All Sentras have a 149-hp, 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission that carries over from the previous model year. The automaker says the CVT was tuned for additional smoothness, and a more aggressive Sport mode is on higher trims. The dashboard received some of the biggest updates, with a 12.3-inch central touchscreen. All models save for the base S get a second 12.3-inch screen as a driver’s information display. A touch-sensitive climate control panel takes the place of physical knobs and buttons. Nissan's ProPilot Assist active driving assistance system is available for the first time on the Sentra, as is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
