The 2027 Nissan Sentra starts at $22,990, according to Nissan Newsroom. Destination and handling are added to the MSRP, and the SL costs the most of the four trims.
The Sentra is Nissan's compact sedan. People searching for the "2025 Nissan Sentra price" or general Sentra costs will find that the lineup is now priced for the 2027 model year, and that is what this page covers.
There are four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. Prices below come from Nissan's own pricing release and press kit, and they are before destination.

Nissan Sentra price by trim
The S is the base trim at $22,990. The SV adds a step up at $23,990, and the SR follows at $24,990. The SL is the top trim at $27,990.
The gap between the S and the SV is small compared with the jump from the SR to the SL. If you are choosing between trims, compare the standard equipment on Nissan's site, because the cheaper trim plus a package can cost about the same as the next trim up.

Which Sentra trim should you buy?
The right trim depends on what you will use, and the price gaps help.
- The S is the lowest-cost option and suits a buyer who wants a new car at the lowest payment.
- The SV costs more and has the Convenience Package and Moonroof as options. Add up those extras and compare the total to the SR before you decide.
- The SR has the Premium Package and the Midnight Edition available, and it sits between the SV and the SL.
- The SL is the top of the lineup. Check whether the features you want are standard there or available as a package on a lower trim.

What changes the final price
- Trim and packages. These make up most of the difference between quotes.
- Destination. This applies to every new Sentra.
- Taxes and registration. Both depend on your state.
- Dealer fees. Documentation fees vary by dealer and location.
- Incentives. Nissan sometimes advertises cash offers or special finance rates on specific trims. They change, so check Nissan's site and your local dealer.
Dealer markup
Some dealers sell at MSRP, and others add charges above it. This depends on supply and your local market. Ask for an itemized written quote that shows the vehicle price, destination, add-ons, and fees separately, and get quotes from more than one dealer.
What a Sentra costs to own
- Insurance. Rates depend on your location, driving record, and trim.
- Fuel. Costs depend on how you drive. Check fueleconomy.gov for official EPA ratings.
- Maintenance. Ask your dealer about service intervals and warranty coverage.
- Registration and tires. Both vary by state and by the wheel size on your trim.
Financing and leasing
Your monthly payment depends on your credit, down payment, and term. Nissan and its dealers sometimes advertise finance and lease offers on specific trims. Compare them with a quote from your bank or credit union. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
