2027 Nissan Sentra Trims Explained: S, SV, SR, SR Midnight Edition, and SL Compared
Every 2027 Nissan Sentra trim ships with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay as standard equipment. The five trims, S through SL, separate themselves on tech, comfort, and driver-assist upgrades, not the powertrain. This page breaks down exactly what each trim includes, and you can check live inventory at Fort Worth Nissan online.
Feature Overview: What the 2027 Sentra Lineup Delivers
The 2027 Sentra lineup runs five trims: S, SV, SR, SR Midnight Edition, and SL. Every one shares the same 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine producing 149 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque, the same Xtronic CVT, and front-wheel drive. EPA fuel economy is 30 city / 38 highway on the S, SV, and SL. The SR and SR Midnight Edition both ride on 18-inch wheels and return 29 city / 36 highway.
What changes across the trims is substantial. The Sentra is one of the few compact sedans in its class where every trim gets a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian and Bicyclist Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Prevention, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Automatic High Beams as standard equipment. The trims then stack meaningful upgrades on that foundation.
How It Works: The Trim Structure
Nissan structures the Sentra lineup so each step up adds a defined cluster of upgrades rather than scattering features arbitrarily across optional packages.
S
S is the entry point. It carries the full Nissan Safety Shield suite, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, a 7-inch multi-function information display in the gauge cluster, four-speaker audio, push-button start, and cloth seats. Heated front seats and heated mirrors are available through the Cold Weather Package on S.
SV
SV moves the instrument cluster from a 7-inch display to a full 12.3-inch digital dashboard, creating the side-by-side dual-screen layout. SV adds the Intelligent Key with approach unlock and walk-away lock, remote engine start via the key fob, and illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls with an optional leatherette wrap. The Convenience Package on SV unlocks wireless charging, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, and mirror-integrated turn signals. A Moonroof Package is also available on SV.
SR
SR steps the exterior up with 18-inch black and machined aluminum-alloy wheels and adds sport cloth seat trim with contrast stitching as standard. Wireless charging is standard on SR, a feature that is optional on SV. The SR is available in Super Black, Gun Metallic, Energetic Ember/Super Black two-tone, Bluestone Pearl/Super Black two-tone, Atlantic Gray Metallic/Super Black two-tone, Aspen White TriCoat/Super Black two-tone, Scarlet Ember Tintcoat, Atlantic Gray Metallic, and Aspen White TriCoat. Starting MSRP on SR is $24,990.
SR Midnight Edition
SR Midnight Edition shares the SR's 18-inch wheel size but moves to gloss black aluminum wheels for a darker exterior look. It carries the dual 12.3-inch monolith display as standard and fits leatherette steering wheel material. The SR Midnight Edition is also where ProPILOT Assist becomes available: the Premium Package adds Intelligent Cruise Control with traffic stop-go capability, hands-on lane centering, the HD Intelligent Around View Monitor (360-degree camera), optional Bose Premium Audio with a 10-inch woofer and up to ten speakers, an optional power driver seat with 4-way lumbar, and heated front seats. The moonroof is also available as an option on SR Midnight Edition.
SL
SL is the fully loaded trim. It standardizes nearly every feature that is optional lower in the lineup: the dual 12.3-inch monolith display, quilted TailorFit leatherette seats with heated fronts, a heated leatherette steering wheel, a power driver seat with 4-way lumbar, the HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, ProPILOT Assist with full-speed-range adaptive cruise and traffic stop-go, the Bose Premium Audio System (8 speakers, 10-inch woofer), wireless charging, a moonroof, auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear sonar parking sensors, rear automatic braking, a frameless auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Real-World Benefit: What Each Trim Means for Daily Driving
For commuters in Fort Worth who want a reliable, tech-forward sedan without paying for features they will not use, the S is genuinely capable. The full safety suite and wireless connectivity on S are features many rivals reserve for mid-grade trims.
The SV is the practical sweet spot for buyers who want the full dual-screen dashboard and remote start. The jump to the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster makes a visible difference in the cabin, and remote start is valuable in Texas summers.
The SR hits a distinct position in the lineup. Wireless charging is standard, the 18-inch black and machined wheels sharpen the exterior, and the sport cloth interior with contrast stitching gives the cabin a more athletic feel without requiring a step to SR Midnight Edition pricing.
The SR Midnight Edition stands apart visually with its 18-inch gloss black wheels and makes sense for buyers who want the darkest exterior look. The Premium Package on SR Midnight Edition is where the tech ceiling rises most sharply, because ProPILOT Assist turns highway stretches on I-35 or I-20 into less fatiguing drives.
The SL removes the decision-making entirely. If you want everything Nissan puts in the Sentra, the SL delivers it without consulting a package checklist. Heated quilted seats, the Bose system, ProPILOT Assist, and the Around View Monitor are all just there.
How It Compares: Sentra's Trim Structure vs the Class
The 2027 Sentra's approach of including the full safety suite on every trim is notable in the compact sedan segment. Many rivals limit features like blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert to mid-grade trims or package them as add-ons. The Sentra's standard 12.3-inch touchscreen across all five trims is also competitive, since a screen that size is often an upgrade elsewhere in the class.
The dual monolith display (SV through SL) and the availability of a Bose system with a 10-inch woofer position the upper Sentra trims against compact sedans that typically require buyers to move into the mid-size class to access similar audio. ProPILOT Assist, available on SR Midnight Edition and standard on SL, adds hands-on lane-centering capability that rivals either omit or charge considerably more to access.
