2027 Nissan Sentra.
I am assuming this will be a 2027 model in the US. Since it seems the 2026 version is right around the corner with probably no changes to the current generation. The car above is actually the Nissan Sylphy, produced by Nissan/Dongfeng for the Chinese market. Which has so far been the same car as our North American Sentra.
It seems that soon the Sentra could be Nissan’s last sedan in the US, with rumors of the Altima being canceled after the current generation.
It’s hard to say from these photos if the new Sentra is a heavy refresh or an all-new design. However, it does look mostly new. At least it seems Nissan won’t be pulling a “2024 Camry” on us, and the new Sentra already seems to have much more than just a new front end and rear lights
A new design with very similar proportions. However, it does remind me a lot of another new Nissan model. The new N7 EV. And that front end is quite busy and not really an improvement.
The N7 sedan is a new Nissan EV for the Chinese market and is not related at all to the new Altima. And yet, the greenhouse looks almost exactly the same. While the N7 looks pretty boring, it does have a very clean design. Something the Sentra could use. Maybe it’s at the cost of losing some personality.
While they’re at it, why not introduce the US to their really cool e-Power Hybrid technology? This is something they’ve been producing and selling in other countries for years. Currently, the plan to introduce e-Power in the US is sometime late this year or early next year. That alone would give Nissan a good reason for a new Sentra. One that could really go against the Honda Civic Hybrid. With probably even better MPG.
Nissan is in a bad spot right now, and they desperately need something to stand out. It looks like the new Sentra design might not really be that original at all, but the e-Power tech could save the day.
With over 152,000 sold last year, I’m sure Nissan dealers will be happy to see a new, more modern Sentra for 2026. One that could be even more popular.
