The 2027 Nissan Sentra builds on last year’s ground-up redesign: a 149-hp 2.0-liter engine, up to 38 MPG highway, available dual 12.3-inch displays, available ProPILOT Assist, and a new blacked-out SR Midnight Edition. For sale near Chicago at our Skokie showroom, minutes from Evanston and the North Side — test drive one, no pressure.
The 2027 Sentra keeps the ninth-generation redesign exactly as drivers liked it — same 2.0-liter engine, same body, same dual-screen cabin — and adds a blacked-out look, a smoother transmission, and faster wireless charging.
A $650 appearance package on the SR that takes the sport grade fully blacked-out — the sharpest-looking Sentra you can order.
Nissan retuned the Xtronic transmission for 2027 based on owner feedback — the change you feel most is in stop-and-go traffic and merging.
The available charger steps up to the Qi2 standard: faster, more consistent charging and compatibility with more phones.
Every trim shares the same 149-hp 2.0-liter engine and front-wheel drive. The real differences are wheels, seating, audio, and driver assist. Here’s how all five configurations line up — four trims, plus the SR with the Midnight Edition package.
| Feature | S | SV | SR | SR Midnight Edition | SL |

The SR turns the everyday commute into something you look forward to: 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, sport-tuned styling, a low center of gravity, and a multi-link rear suspension that keeps Chicago’s corners and potholes composed. New for 2027, the $650 Midnight Edition package blacks out the badges, window trim, wheels, and roof — with available ProPILOT Assist and Bose audio still on the options sheet.
The ninth-generation redesign brought premium materials, a bigger digital canvas, and comfort features you’d expect from a pricier car — and 2027 adds faster wireless charging on top.
Available twin screens put navigation, media, and your gauges across one connected panel, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Standard on SL and available on SR, Bose brings rich, balanced sound to your daily drive and weekend road trips.
Available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting make gray Chicago mornings a lot more pleasant.
Numbers shared across the lineup are listed once. Where the trims differ, each figure is shown — the 18-inch wheels on the SR and the SR Midnight Edition are the reason their fuel economy sits a little lower than the rest of the range. The Midnight Edition is an appearance package, so it is mechanically identical to the SR.

The Sentra is sized for a tight Skokie parking lot or a side street in Evanston, sips fuel on the Edens and the Kennedy, and comes loaded with the comfort and safety tech that makes a Midwest commute easier. It’s the sedan that does the everyday well, for less.

“I purchased a pre-owned Nissan Sentra from Kosta, and it was a wonderful transaction. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle options and explained the warranty features simply and clearly. He even helped me transfer my insurance policy right there at his desk.”
Shaneka F. — Des Plaines, IL Cars.com / DealerRater · May 2026“I highly recommend Kosta to anyone looking for a smooth vehicle purchase. He doesn’t play typical dealership games or waste hours with back-and-forth haggling. He gives you straight facts, clear pricing, and incredible customer support from start to finish.”
Nicolette C. — Skokie, IL Cars.com / DealerRater · May 2026“Meeting Kosta was fantastic. He worked closely with his managers to get us a monthly payment plan that matches our tight budget perfectly. He never made us feel uncomfortable or judged about our credit situation.”

Starting MSRP runs from $22,890 for the S to $27,990 for the SL, before the $1,245 destination charge. The popular SV starts at $23,590 and the sporty SR at $24,990 — or $25,640 with the new Midnight Edition package. Call us for current pricing and any offers on the trim you want.
Three things. The SR can now be ordered with a $650 Midnight Edition appearance package — black badges, black window trim, 18" black wheels, and a Super Black two-tone roof. Nissan retuned the Xtronic CVT for smoother, more linear acceleration and crisper accelerator response. And a Qi2 wireless charger joins the options list. The engine, body, dimensions, and cabin layout carry over unchanged, so a 2026 you liked will feel familiar.
It’s a $650 appearance package available on the SR grade for 2027. It adds black exterior badges, black window opening trim, 18-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels, and a Super Black two-tone roof. Mechanically it’s identical to the standard SR — same engine, same suspension, same warranty. It’s the sharpest-looking Sentra on the order sheet, and we’re happy to locate a specific color combination for you.
The 2027 Sentra uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Xtronic CVT that was retuned for 2027. It isn’t turbocharged — it’s tuned for efficiency, delivering up to 38 MPG highway on the S, SV, and SL.
No — every 2027 Sentra is front-wheel drive. For Chicago winters, traction control, available heated seats and steering wheel, and selectable drive modes help, but if you specifically want all-wheel drive, ask us about the Nissan Kicks or Rogue.
There are four: S (the well-equipped base), SV (added comfort and tech), SR (sport styling with 18" wheels), and SL (fully loaded with quilted TailorFit seats, standard ProPILOT Assist, 8-speaker Bose audio, and an HD Around View Monitor). On top of those, the SR can be ordered as the SR Midnight Edition — Nissan lists it as its own configuration at $25,640, and it is the SR plus a $650 blacked-out appearance package.
The Sentra offers 14.3 cubic feet of trunk space with a wide opening and a lift-out-of-the-way lid — plenty for luggage, groceries, or a stroller, and the 60/40 split rear seats fold for longer items.
We stock a range of Sentra trims and colors at our Skokie showroom, minutes from Evanston, Niles, and Chicago’s North Side. If we don’t have your exact configuration — including an SR with the Midnight Edition package — we can usually locate it within 48 hours.
Yes. We work with a network of lenders, including options for bad or no credit. You can get pre-approved online with no impact to your credit score before you ever visit, and our team won’t judge your situation.
Every new Sentra includes a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Ask us about adding our Premium Plan for lifetime synthetic oil changes and tire rotations.
The current-generation Sentra is one of the strongest values in its class. It pairs up to 38 MPG, a tech-forward cabin with available dual 12.3-inch displays, and an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating for the 2026 model year, which the structurally identical 2027 carries forward. For most Chicago-area drivers it’s an easy, affordable compact sedan to live with.
With regular maintenance, a Sentra commonly reaches 200,000 to 250,000 miles — roughly 13 to 17 years of driving. Staying on top of oil changes and routine service is the biggest factor, which is where our Premium Plan helps.
Yes — the Sentra is a compact sedan that seats five. It’s easy to park and drive in the city but still offers 44 inches of front legroom and a 14.3 cu ft trunk for everyday practicality.
No — the 2027 Sentra is gas-only, and its 2.0-liter engine already returns up to 38 MPG highway. If you want a hybrid or an EV, ask us about the Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid or the all-electric Nissan LEAF, both of which we carry.
If the answer depends on trim, current offers, or what’s in stock today, send the question to the right team.
Our showroom is on Golf Road, about 20 minutes from downtown Chicago and easy to reach from Niles, Evanston, Lincolnwood, Wilmette, Morton Grove, Glenview, Highland Park, and Des Plaines. We’ll line up an extended test drive whenever works for you.
