What Changed on the Redesigned Nissan Sentra?

The Nissan Sentra has held a spot as an affordable, reliable choice for compact sedan shoppers since 1982. Engineers pushed that reputation further for the redesign, drawing inspiration from the Japanese concept of Shun, a design philosophy built around speed that feels agile and effortless.

Here is a side-by-side look at how the redesigned Sentra compares to the outgoing model:

Every change points toward one goal: making daily drives quieter, steadier, and more enjoyable. Drivers who want to experience the retuned suspension firsthand can schedule a test drive at our Wesley Chapel dealership.

On the outside, the redesigned Sentra shows off an evolved V-motion grille, slim projector LED headlights, and a fastback roofline that gives the car a lower, sportier profile.

Sharp body lines and stronger fender shaping add visual weight to the sides, while a low, wide stance improves the car's road presence. Every exterior panel plays a part in cutting wind resistance, too: the trunk and rear fender shaping help manage airflow, redesigned wheel openings reduce drag, and even the side mirrors were reshaped to move air more smoothly.

Inside, the cabin uses upgraded materials built to hold up over time and feel good to the touch. Standout features include:

• Available power tilt and slide sunroof
• Sentra's first wireless phone charging pad
• Class-exclusive 64-color customizable ambient lighting

Cargo space also got more useful, with a wide trunk opening, a low lift-over height for loading heavy items like golf bags or strollers, and 14.3 cubic feet of total room. Available Intelligent Key with approach unlock opens the doors automatically once the fob gets close, then locks the car again as the driver walks away.

The redesigned Sentra brings a stack of technology upgrades that drivers notice right away. The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ on every grade, along with three USB-C ports for charging devices on the go.

Other standout additions include:

• Available ProPILOT Assist, offered on Sentra for the first time, combining adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and steering support for stop-and-go highway commutes
• Blind Spot Intervention, another first for this model, can actively help correct a lane change if a vehicle sits in the driver's blind spot.
• Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, giving a 360-degree camera view for tighter parking spots

For homeowners, the available myQ Universal Garage Door Opener lets drivers open, close, or check the status of up to three compatible garage doors directly through the infotainment screen. A geofencing function even prompts the driver to open or close the door automatically near a saved location, adding one more layer of convenience to the daily commute.
