(See full pricing details for all 2023 Sentra grades.)

Technology for peace of mind

Sentra continues to offer the most standard safety features in its class1, including Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a suite of six advanced driver-assist systems. It includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking.

Additional driver assistance technology includes Intelligent Driver Alertness6, available Intelligent Around View® Monitor7, available Intelligent Cruise Control, and standard Easy-Fill Tire Alert system. Class-exclusive Intelligent Forward Collision Warning is also standard on all models.

Multiple ways to stay connected

Sentra helps drivers stay informed and in touch with a full complement of connectivity technology. A standard 7-inch (8-inch on Sentra SV and SR) touchscreen infotainment system includes Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Siri® Eyes Free, Google Assistant™ voice recognition and one front USB port. Sentra SV and SR additionally feature SiriusXM® satellite radio and two additional USB ports (one front Type C, one Type A charge-only in the center console).

To further keep drivers informed about key vehicle information, Sentra S has a 4.2-inch digital multi-information display in the instrument cluster, while Sentra SV and SR have a 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist® Display.

Confident and economical to drive

The 2023 Nissan Sentra provides drivers with a responsive, comfortable experience by combining an efficient powertrain and a precisely tuned suspension.

The standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine is rated at 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with an Xtronic CVT designed to simulate shifts for a crisp, natural driving feel.

This powertrain delivers impressive fuel economy ratings4, with S and SV grades rated at 29 mpg city, 39 mpg highway and 33 mpg combined. Sentra SR is rated 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and 32 mpg combined.

To provide capable ride and handling performance, Sentra features an independent rear suspension and a MacPherson strut front suspension, with twin-tube shock absorbers.

Design that makes a statement

The 2023 Nissan Sentra's bold appearance draws on the sporty and muscular design cues from other Nissan sedans, including the Altima and Maxima. It has a low roofline, wide shoulders and Nissan signature V-motion grille, and is available with 18-inch wheels and thin projector LED headlights.

Sentra SR is available with dramatic two-tone exterior paint colors that contrast the roof and body, including Gun Metallic/Super Black, Aspen White TriCoat/Super Black (premium color), Monarch Orange Metallic/Super Black (premium color) and Electric Blue Metallic/Super Black.

Inside, Sentra welcomes drivers with elevated touches like a standard D-shaped steering wheel, enhanced comfort afforded by Nissan's Zero Gravity front seats, and multiple storage options, including front and rear door pockets, a center console with armrest and available rear seat armrest with cupholders. Sentra's trunk provides 14.3 cubic feet of storage, while the standard split-folding back seat offers additional flexibility for carrying larger items.
