What’s New for the 2027 Sentra?

The Sentra was fully redesigned for 2026, so the 2027 model builds on that with three updates:

  • Enhanced Xtronic CVT tuning: Nissan retuned the continuously variable transmission for a smoother, more natural acceleration feel.
  • New Midnight Edition package: A blacked-out appearance package for the SR trim.
  • Qi2 wireless charger: Standard on the SR and SL, and available on the SV.

If you’re comparing a 2026 and a 2027 Sentra on our lot, those three updates are the main differences. Both share the same redesigned body, cabin, and 2.0-liter engine.

Fuel Economy and Performance

Every 2027 Sentra uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 149 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Xtronic CVT and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular unleaded fuel.

Trim City Highway Combined
S, SV, SL 30 mpg 38 mpg 33 mpg
SR 29 mpg 36 mpg 32 mpg

EPA-estimated fuel economy. Actual mileage will vary with driving conditions and how you drive and maintain your vehicle.

For 2027, the retuned CVT is designed to deliver more linear acceleration and a crisper response when you press the accelerator, which helps when merging onto the 15.

The New Midnight Edition

The Midnight Edition is a new appearance package for the Sentra SR. It adds:

  • Black exterior badging and a Midnight Edition badge
  • Black window trim
  • 18-inch black alloy wheels
  • A Super Black two-tone roof

It’s a sharp choice if you want the SR’s sporty look taken a step further.

Technology and Interior

Every 2027 Sentra comes with a 12.3-inch NissanConnect® touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus three USB-C ports. The SV, SR, and SL add a 12.3-inch digital driver display, so higher trims get a dual-screen look across the dash.

  • Remote engine start: Standard on SV, SR, and SL
  • Bose® Premium Audio: Standard on SL, available on SR

Safety and Driver Assistance

Nissan Safety Shield® 360 comes standard on every 2027 Sentra. It includes:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
  • Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention
  • High Beam Assist

ProPILOT Assist is standard on the SL and available on the SR. It can help with steering, acceleration, and braking in a single lane on the highway, which can make long drives less tiring. The Sentra also has nine air bags, and according to Nissan, it earned a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating.

Driver assistance features have limitations and are not a substitute for safe driving. Always monitor traffic and stay in control of the vehicle. See Owner’s Manual for details.

Space and Practicality

The Sentra seats five and gives front passengers 44.0 inches of legroom, with 34.8 inches in the back. The trunk holds 14.3 cubic feet, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seat lets you carry longer items while still fitting a passenger in back.

Why the Sentra Works for High Desert Commuters

If you drive the 15 to work every day, the Sentra checks a lot of boxes:

  • Highway efficiency: Up to 38 mpg highway means fewer stops for gas on a long commute.
  • Remote engine start: On SV and above, you can start the car and run the climate control before you get in, which helps on hot summer afternoons in Victorville.
  • Driver assistance for the long haul: Available ProPILOT Assist can help reduce fatigue on longer highway drives.
  • Service close to home: Valley Hi Nissan’s service department is right here in Victorville, so routine maintenance doesn’t require a trip down the hill.
