2027 Nissan Sentra: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Nissan Sentra adds a Midnight Edition package for the SR trim, with black 18-inch wheels and a Super Black two-tone roof. The CVT also receives refined tuning for a smoother, more linear acceleration feel than the 2026 model. This page covers every trim, spec, and change, with current inventory in Fort Worth.
What's New for 2027
Two updates define the 2027 Sentra.
The most visible change is the new SR Midnight Edition package. It adds a Super Black two-tone roof, black exterior badges (including a dedicated Midnight Edition badge), black window opening trim, and 18-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels. The package builds on the SR's existing equipment and is available as an option on that trim.
The second update is under the hood, or more precisely, inside the transmission. Nissan's engineers further refined the Xtronic CVT tuning beyond changes already made for the 2026 model year. The result is a more linear acceleration profile and crisper response to accelerator inputs. Drivers who found previous-generation CVTs to feel rubbery or unpredictable should notice a meaningful difference.
A third addition across higher trims is available Qi2 wireless device charging, which delivers faster and more consistent charging than the previous Qi standard.
The Sentra also carries forward its 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating and its recognition on the Wards 10 Best Interiors and UX list.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Sentra comes in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Each adds meaningfully to the one below it.
S,
The entry point arrives with a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, push-button start, standard Intelligent Cruise Control, the full suite of Nissan Safety Shield features, and 16-inch steel wheels with full covers. The instrument cluster uses a 7-inch multi-information display on this trim.
SV,
Steps up to 16-inch machined aluminum-alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster (creating the dual 12.3-inch monolith display setup), upgraded cloth seating, remote engine start, and available options including a moonroof package, Convenience Package (which adds heated front seats, heated mirrors with LED turn signals, a heated steering wheel, and wireless charging), and auto-dimming rearview mirror.
SR,
Moves to 18-inch 10-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, LED signature headlights, a full-width LED tail light, automatic climate control, standard Qi2 wireless charging, and sport cloth seating with accent stitching. This trim also opens access to the Midnight Edition package, the SR Premium Package (which adds leatherette seating, 6-way power driver seat, Bose 8-speaker audio, ProPILOT Assist, Lane Keep Assist with Cyclist Detection, and the HD Around View Monitor), and the SR All Weather Package.
SL,
The top trim includes standard 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, TailorFit quilted leatherette seating, heated front seats and steering wheel, standard Bose 8-speaker Premium Audio, the dual 12.3-inch display, ProPILOT Assist, standard HD Around View Monitor, Rear Automatic Braking, dual-zone automatic climate control, 4-way power lumbar, and a standard moonroof.
Note: The SR Midnight Edition is the SR trim with the Midnight Edition package applied, not a standalone trim.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2027 Sentra uses the same 2.0-liter DOHC direct-injection four-cylinder engine producing 149 hp at 6,000 rpm and 146 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Power routes through the Xtronic CVT to front-wheel drive on all trims.
The CVT's 2027 tuning revision is the most driver-relevant mechanical change this year. The updated calibration produces a smoother pull from a stop and more predictable mid-throttle behavior, which matters most in stop-and-go Fort Worth commuting.
Fuel economy for S and SV trims reaches 30 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. The SR grade, on 18-inch tires, returns 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined. The SL trim returns to 30/38/33 on its 17-inch tires.
Suspension is independent front strut and rear multi-link on all trims, with Active Ride Control standard. Four-wheel disc brakes and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold are standard across the lineup.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Sentra seats five with 44.0 inches of front leg room, which Nissan claims is best in the compact sedan class. Rear leg room measures 34.8 inches. Front head room reaches 38.9 inches without the moonroof option and 37.7 inches when the moonroof is fitted. Cargo volume is 14.3 cubic feet, and total interior passenger volume measures 96.1 cubic feet.
Seat materials vary by trim: cloth on the S, upgraded cloth on the SV, sport cloth with accent stitching on the SR (with optional TailorFit sport leatherette), and TailorFit quilted soft-touch leatherette on the SL. Heated front seats are available on S and SV via packages and standard on the SL.
The 60/40-split folding rear bench is standard on all trims, useful for longer cargo when the trunk's 14.3 cubic feet falls short. The SL and optioned SR trims include rear cup holders; the S and SV do not.
Available ambient lighting with 64 selectable colors adds to the interior's modern feel, and dual-zone automatic climate control is standard on the SL or available on the SR via the All Weather Package.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2027 Sentra starts with a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Three USB-C ports are standard on all trims (two front, one rear charge-only).
The SV, SR, and SL trims add a second 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, creating an integrated dual-screen setup that Nissan describes as a class-available feature. The S retains a 7-inch multi-information display.
Qi2 wireless charging debuts as an available option on the SV (via the Convenience Package), becomes standard on the SR, and is standard on the SL. Qi2 charges faster and with better heat management than first-generation wireless charging standards.
Available tech on upper trims includes the Bose Premium Audio system with 8 speakers (standard on the SL, optional on the SR via the Premium Package), available ProPILOT Assist combining full-speed-range Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assist, and the HD Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection.
The Drive Mode Selector (Normal, Sport, and ECO modes) is standard on SV, SR, and SL trims. Remote engine start via the Nissan Intelligent Key is standard on SV through SL.
Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Sentra carries an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the 2026 model year. Nissan Safety Shield features are standard on every trim:
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- High Beam Assist
- Intelligent Driver Alertness (Driver-Attention Monitor)
- Hill Start Assist
- Intelligent Cruise Control (adaptive)
The SL trim adds Rear Automatic Braking as standard equipment. The SR Premium Package and SL both include ProPILOT Assist, which combines full-speed-range adaptive cruise with hands-on lane centering for highway commutes.
The class-exclusive Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system can detect hazards up to two vehicles ahead, giving drivers more warning time than standard one-car-ahead systems.
Who It's For / vs. the Prior Year
The 2027 Sentra is the right choice for commuters who want a genuine compact sedan with strong safety coverage and modern technology at a reasonable entry point. Fort Worth drivers who log daily miles on I-30 or Loop 820 will appreciate the retuned CVT's smoother behavior and the standard Intelligent Cruise Control that activates on every trim.
Compared to the 2026 model, the 2027 adds three things that matter to real buyers: the Midnight Edition's distinct blacked-out appearance for SR shoppers who want a sportier look without upgrading to the SL, Qi2 wireless charging for faster phone top-ups, and a CVT that drives more like a conventional automatic.
If you own a 2025 or earlier Sentra, the jump to 2027 is substantial. The dual 12.3-inch displays, standard wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Safety Shield suite were not standard at every trim level in earlier generations.
