Efficiency is at the heart of the 2026 Nissan Sentra’s design, with fuel economy ratings that stand out in its class. The S and SV trims achieve up to 29 MPG in the city, 38 MPG on the highway, and 33 MPG combined, while the SR and SL variants deliver an estimated 28 MPG city, 36 MPG highway, and 32 MPG combined. Each trim level is powered by a responsive 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine with direct injection, producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque.

This engine is paired with Nissan’s refined Xtronic continuously variable transmission, enhancing both responsiveness and fuel savings. Thanks to its aerodynamic body — featuring a drag coefficient as low as 0.268 — the Sentra glides efficiently through the air, ensuring reduced fuel consumption on every drive. The result is a sedan that feels just as good to drive as it is easy on your wallet.

• 29/38/33 MPG (S and SV trims)
• 28/36/32 MPG (SR and SL trims)
• 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with direct injection
• Xtronic continuously variable transmission
• Low 0.268 drag coefficient for enhanced aerodynamics

The 2026 Nissan Sentra’s 12.4-gallon fuel tank offers the ideal balance between efficiency and convenience, allowing drivers to travel farther without frequent refueling stops. Designed to work perfectly with regular unleaded fuel, it keeps ownership costs affordable and operation simple. Despite its generous range, the Sentra maintains a lightweight structure that supports its smooth and agile handling.

Engine and transmission calibration are fine-tuned for efficiency across both urban and highway conditions. Systems like Idle Stop/Start and Intelligent Trace Control further optimize power delivery and reduce unnecessary fuel use, helping drivers enjoy greater mileage and lower fuel expenses over time.

• 12.4-gallon fuel tank capacity
• Regular unleaded fuel recommended
• Idle Stop/Start system for improved efficiency
• Intelligent Trace Control for optimized power delivery

Combining its efficient powertrain with a thoughtfully sized fuel tank, the 2026 Nissan Sentra delivers a remarkable driving range that’s perfect for extended commutes or weekend adventures. On a full tank, the S and SV trims can travel approximately 409 miles in the city and up to 471 miles on the highway. Meanwhile, the SR and SL models still provide a strong range, covering about 347 miles in city conditions and up to 446 miles on the highway.

This extensive range minimizes fuel stops and maximizes time on the road. Along with the Sentra’s comfortable ride quality, quiet cabin, and well-tuned suspension, it ensures every journey is both efficient and enjoyable — whether around Shiloh or beyond.

• Up to 471-mile highway range (S and SV trims)
• Up to 409-mile city range (S and SV trims)
• Up to 446-mile highway range (SR and SL trims)
• Up to 347-mile city range (SR and SL trims)
• Ideal balance of economy and performance
