Performance Features
Every 2026 Nissan Sentra is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered through a retuned Xtronic CVT® that Nissan engineers designed for a smoother, more natural acceleration feel compared to the outgoing model. A Sport drive mode is available on SV, SR, and SL grades, sharpening throttle response for a more engaging feel behind the wheel.
Standard Active Ride Control™ works to help smooth out impacts from bumps and rough pavement, adding a layer of comfort to daily commutes. Combined with a stiffer unibody structure, the 2026 Nissan Sentra also delivers a quieter, more composed ride than previous generations.
