2027 Nissan Sentra Guide: Trims, MPG & Tech

The 2027 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, an Xtronic CVT and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on every trim. If you drive the I-15 between Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley, here is what Nissan lists for the engine, trims, fuel economy, cabin space and driver-assist features.

• 38 mpg highway, EPA-estimated, on the S, SV and SL.
• 149 hp from the 2.0L four-cylinder.
• 14.3 cu ft of cargo volume, per Nissan.

Engine and Drivetrain

Every 2027 Sentra uses a 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder that Nissan lists at 149 hp at 6,000 rpm and 146 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It runs on regular unleaded and is paired with an Xtronic CVT. All trims are front-wheel drive. Nissan says the CVT is retuned for 2027 for smoother, more linear acceleration, and a Sport mode is listed on the SV, SR and SL.

Trims: S, SV, SR and SL

Nissan lists four trims for 2027. Here is how Nissan describes what sets each one apart.

• S: 16-inch steel wheels with covers, a 7-inch instrument display and a 4-speaker audio system.
• SV: 16-inch alloy wheels and a 12.3-inch instrument display. The Qi2 wireless charger is optional.
• SR: 18-inch alloy wheels, a 6-speaker audio system and a standard Qi2 wireless charger. ProPILOT Assist and the Bose audio system are optional, and a new Midnight Edition package adds blacked-out exterior trim, black 18-inch wheels and a Super Black two-tone roof.
• SL: 17-inch alloy wheels, an 8-speaker Bose audio system, ProPILOT Assist and a standard Qi2 wireless charger.

Features can change by package, so check the specific Sentra you are looking at.

Fuel Economy

Nissan lists these EPA estimates: 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined for the S, SV and SL, and 29 city, 36 highway and 32 combined for the SR. The tank holds 12.4 gallons. Your mileage will vary.

Cabin and Cargo Space

• Cargo volume: 14.3 cubic feet.
• Passenger volume: 96.1 cubic feet.
• Front legroom: 44.0 inches. Rear legroom: 34.8 inches.
• Length: 183.3 inches. Wheelbase: 106.5 inches.

If you often carry three adults in the back seat, sit in the rear during a visit so you can judge the 34.8 inches of rear legroom for yourself.

Technology

A 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen is standard on every trim, and Nissan lists wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on all of them. Nissan lists two front USB-C ports and a rear charge-only USB-C port. The SV and above have a 12.3-inch instrument display.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Nissan lists these as standard on all trims: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Lane Departure Prevention, High Beam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition and Intelligent Cruise Control. ProPILOT Assist is standard on the SL and optional on the SR. The Around View Monitor is optional on the SR and standard on the SL.

Driver-assist features have limits and do not replace attentive driving. Want to know more about ProPILOT Assist? Read our post on Nissan ProPILOT Assist explained.

Who the Sentra Fits, and Honest Limits

• Commuters: up to 38 mpg highway (EPA-estimated) for long drives on the 15.
• Tech-focused drivers: a 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone connectivity on every trim.
• Drivers who like a sportier look: the SR and the new Midnight Edition package.

The Sentra is a front-wheel-drive compact sedan with 4.7 inches of ground clearance (4.8 on the SL), so it is built for pavement rather than rough roads. At 149 hp, it is aimed at efficient daily driving more than quick acceleration. If you want all-wheel drive or more clearance, look at a Nissan crossover. You can compare it with a rival in our 2027 Sentra vs 2027 Civic post.
