The 2027 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan that earns its place on the consideration list with a combination that is increasingly hard to find at its price point: genuine fuel efficiency, a refreshed ride quality, and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ recognition, all starting under $23,000. For St. Louis buyers who spend time on I-55 and I-270 every day and want a reliable, efficient sedan that does not ask much in return, the Sentra is one of the more thoughtful choices in the class. Suntrup Nissan on South Lindbergh carries the full 2027 Sentra lineup in St. Louis.
The 2027 Sentra is a compact sedan competing against the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Elantra. It runs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder producing 149 horsepower through a CVT to the front wheels. For 2027, Nissan recalibrated the CVT software to deliver a smoother, more linear throttle response, which addresses one of the criticisms that has followed CVT-equipped vehicles for years. The result is a more confident, less droning feel during acceleration. Fuel economy tops out at 30 city and 40 highway MPG in the base configuration, which meaningfully lowers the daily cost of ownership for commuters who cover substantial mileage. The Sentra retains its IIHS Top Safety Pick+ standing for 2027. Nissan’s Zero Gravity front and rear seat design, which is engineered to reduce driver fatigue on long drives, is standard across all trim levels.


The Sentra is a natural fit for St. Louis commuters who want a reliable daily driver that keeps running costs low and safety ratings high. At a starting price under $23,000, it gives budget-focused buyers access to a feature-complete compact sedan without requiring significant compromise. Buyers on the SR trim can add the new 2027 Midnight Edition package, which brings a Super Black two-tone roof, 18-inch black alloy wheels, and blacked-out exterior badges for $650, a cost-effective way to get a sportier look on a real-world budget. The SL trim layers in leather-appointed seating and a more premium interior for buyers who want a higher level of refinement. All four trim levels come standard with Safety Shield 360, including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert.
The 2027 Sentra spans S, SV, SR, and SL trims. Features, available packages including the SR Midnight Edition, and standard equipment vary across the lineup. Pricing starts at the $22,890 base and scales with each trim tier.
Suntrup Nissan is an authorized Nissan dealer at 6000 South Lindbergh Boulevard in St. Louis, located in South County between I-55 and Tesson Ferry Road. The 2027 Sentra is available at Suntrup now for St. Louis area buyers ready to see the full trim lineup in person.
