About the 2025 Nissan Sentra

8th generation (2020-2025), second year after the 2024 refresh and last year before the all-new 2026 redesign.

Nissan positions the Sentra as a compact sedan that gives everyday drivers more style, comfort, and safety than a bare-bones commuter car. Its core job is daily transportation, but Nissan sells it on bold looks, a more upscale cabin feel, useful passenger and trunk space, strong standard driver-assistance tech, and comfortable Zero Gravity seating. For most shoppers, the Sentra is a small sedan chosen for commuting, errands, and small-family use with a polished feel for the class.

The S is the straightforward starting trim, with a 7-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, and a broad set of driver-assistance features. The SV adds everyday upgrades such as adaptive cruise control and an 8-inch touchscreen, while the SR emphasizes sportier styling with 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, and dual-zone climate control.
