2024 Nissan Sentra: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Nissan Sentra gets a mid-cycle refresh led by updated front-end styling. A revised automatic transmission and idle stop/start also bring a small fuel-economy improvement, but this is not a full redesign.
About the 2024 Nissan Sentra
8th generation (2020-2025), mid-cycle refresh year
Nissan positions the Sentra as a compact sedan that looks more upscale than its price point while still focusing on the basics people use every day: standard driver-assistance tech, a roomy cabin, comfortable seats, and good fuel economy. In this class, its main appeal is that it pairs a more polished design and strong standard safety coverage with straightforward sedan practicality, making it an easy commuter and family runabout rather than a performance-focused small car.
The S remains the straightforward value trim, with smartphone connectivity and a broad set of standard driver aids. The SV focuses on everyday convenience with adaptive cruise control and an 8-inch touchscreen, while the sportier-looking SR has 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, a rear spoiler, and standard heated front seats.
What changed, by category
Styling
Every trim gets a revised grille treatment, updated headlights, and a new wheel design.
Powertrain
The 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder carries over, but the automatic transmission is revised and idle stop/start is added. Fuel economy rises to 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway for S and SV, while SR improves to 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.
Tech
Heated front seats become standard on the SR. The basic infotainment layout and screen sizes otherwise carry over.
