Let's take a closer look at how the Nissan Sentra for sale could redefine your daily drives by exploring its interior and exterior updates.
Sentra Interior Modifications
The biggest win for the 2026 Nissan Sentra is its standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, but we're also huge fans of the model's available power tilt-and-slide sunroof. Opt for class-exclusive 64-color ambient lighting to customize your interior even further, or add wireless phone charging to select trims for a luxury cabin aesthetic.
Sentra Exterior Changes
The 2026 Nissan Sentra exterior is visibly more bold and aggressive, showing off more geometric surfaces and all-new slim projector LED headlights for enhanced light output. A new, lower character line visually lowers the sedan's center of gravity, while a reshaped trunk and rear fenders help control air flow and reduce rear wake.

The price of your Nissan Sentra will depend on the trim and any packages or accessories you choose, and the good news is that even before you factor in our dealership's Nissan Sentra specials, this compact car already has a lower starting MSRP than almost all of its competitors.

Both model years offer a stunning 43.8 inches of front legroom and a 14.3-cubic-foot trunk.
What is the difference between the 2026 Nissan Sentra and the 2025 Nissan Sentra?
