2026 Nissan Sentra First Drive Review

With the ultra-cheap Nissan Versa likely ending production in 2026, the Sentra will serve as the brand’s entry-level model for the foreseeable future. In preparation for its new role, Nissan gave the 2026 Sentra a glow-up—although it’s more of an evolution of the existing model rather than a revolutionary redesign.

The Sentra’s platform and powertrain remain the same, with only minor tweaks. It has the third-gen 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood, producing 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque, while a continuously variable transmission still powers the front wheels.
