2024 Nissan Sentra: In Detail
Fresh new look
Visual updates begin with a reshaped front fascia with a new interpretation of Nissan’s V-motion grille, with bright chrome trim. The lower fascia has a cleaner appearance with vent-like elements moved to the outer edges of the car. A new available 16-inch alloy design is featured on the SV grade.
All 2024 Sentra grades feature updated headlights with black interior bezel elements, giving them a sportier and more premium appearance.
Sportier Sentra SR
The sporty appearance of Sentra SR is elevated for the 2024 model year with new dark chrome trim for the V-motion grille, dark chrome outer finish elements on the front fascia and a body-colored lower trim strip below the grill. Red SR badges are also added in the front and rear.
In the rear, a new lower fascia graphic design helps make Sentra look lower and wider. The SR grade’s interior accent stitching colour has been updated to a red-orange that more closely matches with what is seen in Altima SR and Frontier PRO-X and PRO-4X.
Sentra SR stands out from its competition with striking two-tone paint options, with the option to pair a black roof with Aspen White Tricoat, Monarch Orange Metallic, Electric Blue Metallic and the new Atlantic Grey body colours.
Refined and functional interior
The 2024 Nissan Sentra’s highly functional, visually appealing interior brings a high level of refinement to the class. Functional elements include a D-shaped steering wheel, round air vents inspired by elements of the Nissan Z sports car, and abundant storage options, including front and rear door pockets, a center console with armrest and available rear seat armrest with cupholders.
Nissan’s Zero Gravity front seats hold occupants in a supportive posture that improves comfort. Available satin chrome interior accents and contrast seat stitching further elevate the interior ambience. Up to three USB ports allow passengers to keep devices charged, while available rear-seat cupholders provide convenience for back-seat passengers. Sentra also offers storage in the center console and an available storage pocket in the passenger seatback. Sentra’s trunk provides a generous 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space, with a standard 60/40 split-folding back seat offering flexibility in storage.
Powertrain performance
Sentra has a standard, fuel-efficient 2.0-liter inline-four engine with 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. For the 2024 model year, Sentra features a new Xtronic CVT designed to reduce fuel consumption while providing a smoother shift pattern. Also new is standard Idle Stop Start, which can shut off the engine when the vehicle is stopped to help save fuel.
Convenient connectivity
Sentra keeps drivers connected with a standard 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that features Bluetooth®, Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Siri® Eyes-Free, Google Assistant™ Voice Recognition and one front USB port.

Sentra SV and SR upgrade to an 8-inch screen with 6 speakers, an additional front USB Type-C port and a charge-only USB Type-A port in the center console, plus SiriusXM® satellite radio.
