2026 Nissan Sentra review
Nissan Sentra: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
8.0/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Nissan Sentra is a strong contender in its class. Standard driver-assist suite; efficient in mixed driving. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and base engine feels adequate, not quick, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $22,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the a long commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
Replaced an older Nissan with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
