2026 Nissan Sentra

2026 Nissan Sentra in Niles, IL

The 2026 Nissan Sentra has landed at Star Nissan, and it is proving that you don't need to drive a large car to have a premium experience. Now entering its ninth generation, the Sentra has been boldly redesigned to offer a sharper look, smarter tech, and a more spirited drive. It is the perfect vehicle for navigating the tight streets of the city or cruising the suburbs of Niles, offering exceptional fuel efficiency without sacrificing style. With the reintroduction of the top-tier SL trim, the 2026 Sentra gives you more options to tailor your ride to your exact standards of luxury and convenience.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Sentra, you will find a driver-focused cockpit that punches well above its weight class. The highlight is the new available "Monolith" display, a dual-screen setup that brings a high-tech, modern feel to the dashboard. Connectivity is effortless with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, keeping your cords at home and your cabin clutter-free.

The renowned Zero Gravity front seats provide exceptional support for long drives, while available 64-color ambient lighting lets you set the mood for every journey. Premium materials and contrast stitching on higher trims add a layer of sophistication rarely found in compact sedans.

Exterior

The 2026 Sentra wears a fresh, athletic suit of armor. The front fascia has been updated with a wider grille and slim, aggressive LED projector headlights that cut through the darkness. The car’s silhouette is lower and wider, giving it a planted look that hints at its improved handling capabilities.

The SR trim takes the sporty aesthetic further with blacked-out exterior accents, a rear spoiler, and unique 18-inch alloy wheels. New two-tone paint options allow drivers to express their personality, making the Sentra a true standout in the Star Nissan lot.

Performance

Driving the 2026 Sentra is a joy, thanks to significant mechanical updates. The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine delivers a peppy 149 horsepower, but the real story is the retuned Xtronic CVT®, which now offers smoother and more natural acceleration.

For those who crave a bit more engagement, a new Sport Mode sharpens throttle response and steering weight, making your morning commute surprisingly fun. The suspension has also been updated to absorb potholes and bumps more effectively, delivering a ride quality that feels composed and mature.

Safety Features

Confidence comes standard with the 2026 Sentra. Every model includes the Nissan Safety Shield® 360 suite, providing essential protections like Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning at no extra cost.

For navigating busy parking lots, the available Intelligent Around View® Monitor gives you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, making parallel parking a breeze. Additionally, the available Intelligent Cruise Control maintains a set distance from the car ahead, taking the stress out of stop-and-go traffic on the expressway.
