Which 2027 Sentra Trim Is Right for You?
Highway Commuters: S or SV
The S, SV, and SL share the Sentra's best EPA-estimated rating of 38 highway and 33 combined MPG. With a 12.4-gallon tank, that works out to roughly 470 miles of highway driving per tank, and Intelligent Cruise Control is already standard.
Everyday Value: SV
The SV adds the 12.3-inch enhanced multi-information display, automatic climate control, Nissan Intelligent Key, remote engine start, and Sport mode. The Convenience Package adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and approach unlock.
Sporty Style: SR
The SR rides on 18-inch wheels with 215/45R18 tires and adds a dark chrome grille, side sill extensions, a rear spoiler, and red badging. The new Midnight Edition Package blacks out the trim, wheels, and roof, and the SR gives up only 1 combined MPG to the other trims.
Comfort and Driver Assistance: SL
The SL is the only trim with standard ProPILOT Assist, HD Around View Monitor, Rear Automatic Braking, and rear sonar sensors. TailorFit leatherette, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and Bose audio come standard.
2027 Nissan Sentra Fuel Economy by Trim
| Trim | City / Hwy / Combined MPG | Est. Range per Tank |
|---|---|---|
| S, SV, SL | 30 / 38 / 33 | 409 mi |
| SR | 29 / 36 / 32 | 397 mi |
At 12,000 miles a year, an S, SV, or SL uses about 364 gallons of fuel while an SR uses about 375, a difference of roughly 11 gallons. For Tuscaloosa commuters, that means choosing the SR's sportier look and 18-inch wheels has very little effect on fuel use.
EPA-estimated fuel economy. Actual mileage will vary. Range is based on the 12.4-gallon tank and combined MPG.
