What Engine and Powertrain Options Power the 2027 Nissan Sentra Trims?

Every 2027 Nissan Sentra trim is powered exclusively by a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine producing 149 hp at 6,000 rpm and 146 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission and front-wheel drive.

The naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive across the lineup. This shared powertrain provides consistent engine output regardless of trim. All trims use an independent strut front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension, with stabilizer bars at both ends.

Fuel economy remains strong across the entire trim structure:

  • Sentra S, SV, and SL: EPA-estimated 30 mpg city / 38 mpg highway / 33 mpg combined.
  • Sentra SR and SR Midnight Edition: EPA-estimated 29 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 32 mpg combined.

All models run on standard regular unleaded gasoline and carry a 12.4-gallon fuel tank capacity.

For commuters seeking high-efficiency daily drivers, comparing efficiency figures against our broader pre-owned vehicle selection highlights how competitive the current compact sedan platform remains.
