Among the many strong suits of the Nissan Sentra, fuel efficiency is near the top of the list. For the 2026 S and SV trims, the new Nissan Sentra mpg ratings are estimated at 30 mpg city / 38 mpg highway / 33 mpg combined.* On the sportier SR and SL trims, these ratings dip only slightly: 29 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 32 mpg combined.*
