New cars are averaging close to $50k today, and small, cheap cars are quickly disappearing. The Nissan Sentra is one of the few holdouts! Starting around $22,000, it’s one of the least expensive new cars you can still buy in the US.
In this review I take a close look at the 2026 Nissan Sentra SR: the design, interior comfort, infotainment, back seat space, cargo room, real-world driving impressions, fuel economy, and pricing. I also compare it against other budget-friendly small cars like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, and Kia K4 to see where the Sentra fits in. Come join me!
