Your Guide to the 2026 Nissan Sentra
Exterior
The 2026 Sentra introduces a complete exterior redesign focused on dynamic proportions and functional aerodynamics. The front end features an evolved V-motion grille with lines that extend into slim projector LED headlights, creating a cohesive lighting signature. When the vehicle is unlocked, a welcome pattern activates through the turn signals, high and low beams, and available signature lighting. The sedan's bodysides feature energetic surfacing with a sleek cabin that contrasts against sharp shoulder surfaces and pronounced fenders, while a well-balanced character line creates a visual lowering effect that enhances stability. Aerodynamic efficiency guides many design choices throughout the exterior. The trunk and rear fender shaping helps control airflow and reduce rear wake, while reduced wheel opening areas and specifically shaped side-view mirrors contribute to drag reduction. Underneath, flat floor covers and tire deflectors further enhance efficiency. Two wheel sizes are available—16-inch or 18-inch—both featuring intersecting lines that add visual motion. The colour palette includes Imperial Bronze, Atlantic Gray Metallic, Super Black, Energetic Ember, Scarlett Ember, and Fresh Powder, with four colours available in two-tone configurations paired with a Super Black roof.
Interior
The cabin of the 2026 Sentra emphasizes openness and modern functionality through its dual 12.3-inch display layout and touch-sensitive climate control panel. Soft door touchpoints and a clean dashboard design create a more premium feel than the outgoing model, while the centre infotainment display delivers twice the brightness of the previous generation for improved readability in varying light conditions. Three rectangular dashboard elements, two housing air vents, reference the circular vents of the previous Sentra while maintaining a fresh aesthetic. Physical controls remain accessible alongside the touchscreen interface, with functions operable through steering wheel-mounted switches or direct touch inputs. The cabin offers practical features such as three USB-C ports for device charging, with SV and SR grades adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Available amenities include a power tilt/slide sunroof, ambient lighting, heated steering wheel, and wireless phone charging. London drivers will appreciate the trunk's low liftover height and optimized opening shape, making it easier to load larger items like golf bags or groceries during Ontario's varied seasons.
Features
Technology
The standard 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, with wireless functionality available on SV and SR grades. All models feature Bluetooth hands-free phone system with streaming audio, hands-free text messaging assistant, and AM/FM radio with RDS. The SR Premium package adds an eight-speaker Bose premium audio system for enhanced sound quality. Instead of a traditional gauge cluster, S grade receives a 7-inch multi-information display, while SV and SR feature a 12.3-inch enhanced TFT meter.
Safety
Standard safety and driver assistance technologies include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, and High Beam Assist. Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert come standard across all grades, with Blind Spot Intervention added for 2026 to actively help avoid collisions during lane changes. Traffic Sign Recognition monitors road signs and displays them for the driver. The SR Premium package introduces ProPILOT Assist, which helps control acceleration, braking, and steering on highways to ease driver workload during longer trips, along with Digital Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection to assist with parking manoeuvres.
