2026 Nissan Sentra
2026 Nissan
Sentra
Knowing that there’s still a market for a budget-friendly compact sedan, Nissan has redesigned the tried-and-true Sentra for the 2026 model year. This ninth-generation edition is defined by a flowing exterior anchored by a modern interpretation of the automaker’s signature V-Motion grille. This fresh design helps to reassure buyers that the Sentra is far removed from the bare-bones econoboxes that once occupied this category. A long list of standard equipment and the improved cabin also make this point. Every 2026 Sentra trim comes with a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, and a dual-screen dashboard drives it home that buyers are getting the latest technology without having to break the bank.
