# 2027 Nissan Sentra Brings Real Upgrades to the Compact Sedan Class
Nissan redesigns the Sentra for 2027 with sharper styling, a refined interior, and meaningful chassis improvements that finally answer complaints about the previous generation. The Japanese automaker ditches the stale design language in favor of a more aggressive front end and cleaner body lines that actually appeal to buyers under 40.
Under the hood, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine remains but now produces 149 horsepower with better throttle response thanks to a revised intake. Nissan paired it with a CVT that feels less rubbery than before. The suspension gets stiffer bushings and revised damping calibration, creating a car that actually corners without feeling mushy.
Inside, Nissan installed a new 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration, updated steering wheel controls, and soft-touch materials on the dashboard. Cabin space improves by half an inch in rear legroom. Safety tech now includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist across all trims.
Pricing starts at $19,950 for the base S model, undercutting the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla while offering more standard equipment. The SV and SL trims add features without breaking the bank. Nissan targets volume with this refresh, banking on customers who want a reliable, honest compact sedan without EV hype or inflated pricing.
