2025 Nissan Sentra Summary Points
The 2025 Nissan Sentra gets a handful of new tidbits after receiving a basketful of interior and exterior updates for the 2024 model year.
Every Sentra is now standard with the Nissan Maintenance Care Program. It includes up to three oil changes for two years or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first).
The 2025 Sentra has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine and an Xtronic CVT that returns an EPA-rated 34 combined (city/highway). Compact sedans like the 2025 Nissan Sentra are good options if efficient transportation is your number one goal.
2025 Nissan Sentra: What’s New?
Japanese carmaker Nissan got busy updating its Sentra compact sedan for 2024. The changes included reconfigured front and rear fascias, new connectivity options, and a new Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission) for better fuel economy.
Nissan’s All-Weather Package is optional for SV models. The package adds dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated exterior mirrors, and a remote start.
For 2025, the Sentra SV is also available with the optional NissanConnect Services package. It includes a Wi-Fi hotspot and MyNissan app control. The 2025 Sentra remains part of the eighth-generation variant that Nissan introduced in 2019.
Fuel-Sipping Powertrain
All 2025 Nissan Sentras are motivated by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder that generates 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft. of torque. The numbers may sound uninspiring, but the fuel efficiency is worth writing home about.
Nissan’s new Xtronic CVT, introduced for the 2024 Sentra, will help the 2025 model achieve strong fuel economy numbers. The 2024 Sentra with the updated CVT returns an EPA-estimated 30 in the city, 40 on the highway, and 34 combined, one mpg higher across the board than the 2023 Sentra.
Ultimately, the Sentra’s frugal powertrain keeps it on par with other small and efficient sedans. The fuel tank capacity for the 2025 Sentra is 12.4 gallons.

Interior Room & Cargo Space
The Sentra offers decent room within its compact body. The cabin could accommodate up to five in a pinch, delivering 43.8 and 34.9 inches of front and rear legroom.
Meanwhile, the trunk provides up to 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space. The 60/40-split rear seats allow owners to fold them down to make room for longer items.
