2025 Nissan Sentra Powertrain and Fuel-Economy Data
The 2025 U.S.-market Sentra uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Nissan pairs it with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission across the specified S, SV and SR trims.
| 2025 trim or measure | Result | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| S and SV fuel economy | 30 city / 40 highway / 34 combined mpg | EPA estimates, United States |
| SR fuel economy | 30 city / 38 highway / 33 combined mpg | EPA estimates, United States |
| Fuel-tank capacity | 12.4 gallons | U.S. gallons |
| Roadside assistance | 36 months or 36,000 miles | Whichever comes first |
| Standard air bags | 10 | U.S.-market SV specification |
| Wheels | 16-inch S; 18-inch SR | Wheel diameter |
The S and SV ratings are 34 combined mpg, while the SR is rated at 33 combined mpg. These are model-year EPA estimates, not fleet-average measurements, and the brochure’s roadside-assistance term is 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The 2025 Nissan Sentra also has 10 standard air bags in the U.S.-market SV specification. Wheel diameter differs by trim, with 16-inch wheels on S and 18-inch wheels on SR.

Nissan Sentra Dimensions, Capacity and Packaging
The 2025 Sentra’s main exterior dimensions are consistent across S, SV and SR for wheelbase, length and width. Height and track measurements vary slightly by trim.
| Dimension | S | SV | SR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 106.6 in | 106.6 in | 106.6 in |
| Overall length | 182.9 in | 182.9 in | 182.9 in |
| Overall width | 71.5 in | 71.5 in | 71.5 in |
| Overall height | 56.9 in | 56.9 in | 57.0 in |
| Front track | 62.5 in | 61.9 in | 62.3 in |
| Rear track | 62.4 in | 61.8 in | 62.2 in |
| Base curb weight | 3,036 lb | 3,038 lb | 3,084 lb |
The Sentra seats five people and lists 14.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Interior passenger volume is 96.1 cubic feet without a moonroof and 94.1 cubic feet with one.
| Interior measure | 2025 Sentra result |
|---|---|
| Front/rear headroom without moonroof | 38.9 / 36.7 in |
| Front/rear headroom with moonroof | 37.5 / 36.7 in |
| Front/rear shoulder room | 56.4 / 54.5 in |
| Front/rear hip room | 53.5 / 53.3 in |
| Front/rear legroom | 43.8 / 34.9 in |
| Seating capacity | 5 |
| Passenger volume without / with moonroof | 96.1 / 94.1 cu. ft. |
| Cargo capacity | 14.3 cu. ft. |
The moonroof specification applies to SV and SR, while the headroom, shoulder-room, hip-room and legroom figures identify front and rear seating positions. These are U.S.-market model-year specifications rather than measurements of every vehicle in service.

Nissan Sentra Crashworthiness Statistics
IIHS rated the U.S.-market 2024 Sentra S test vehicle Good in two front crash tests and Acceptable in the updated side test. The ratings apply to the stated model-year ranges, and the measurements below are controlled test results rather than real-world injury rates.
In the driver-side small-overlap test, lower hinge-pillar intrusion measured 8 cm, while parking-brake intrusion measured 12 cm. The driver dummy recorded a HIC-15 of 141, 30 mm of chest compression, 1.4 kN of neck tension and a maximum Nij of 0.24.
The passenger-side small-overlap test recorded a HIC-15 of 150 and 17 mm of chest compression. Maximum Nij was 0.38, and right tibia axial force was 1.4 kN.
For the original moderate-overlap front test, footwell intrusion measured 5 cm at the footrest and 7 cm at the center. Driver HIC-15 was 427, peak head-contact acceleration was 89 g, and chest compression was 34 mm.
The updated side test used a 2022 Sentra 2.0 S test vehicle for ratings applying to 2020–2025 models. Driver torso maximum and average deflection were 42 mm and 36 mm, while driver HIC-15 was 387 with 84 g peak contact acceleration.

Sentra Crash Avoidance, Lighting and Child-Restraint Data
The IIHS testing combines pedestrian front-crash prevention, headlight performance and child-restraint hardware evaluation. These results describe test conditions, equipment configurations and tested trims, not observed collision rates among the wider Sentra population.
| IIHS measure | Sentra result | Test scope |
|---|---|---|
| Crossing child at 12 mph | Collision avoided | 2024 pedestrian test |
| Crossing child at 25 mph | Impact speed reduced by 8 mph | 2024 pedestrian test |
| Parallel adult at 25 mph, high beams | Collision avoided | Night test |
| Parallel adult at 25 mph, low beams | Speed reduced by 24 mph | Night test |
| Parallel adult at 37 mph, high beams | Speed reduced by 22 mph; warning 1.9 seconds before impact | Night test |
| Tested headlight variants | Two rated Poor | 2024 headlight tests |
For the SR trim, low beams provided 51.9 meters of useful illumination on the straightaway right edge and 23.3 meters on the straightaway left edge, measured to 5-lux illumination. High beams provided 127.7 meters on the straightaway right edge and 39.5 meters on the 150-meter-radius left curve.
The LATCH evaluation for the U.S.-market Sentra SV found two rear positions with complete hardware, plus one position with a tether anchor and borrowable lower anchors. In tested outer rear seat position 3, IIHS measured 13 lb and 10 lb of force at the two lower anchors.

Nissan Sentra Recall Statistics and Affected Populations
Recall statistics are filing-specific: a potentially involved population is not the same as the number of confirmed defects or completed repairs. NHTSA recall 24V-304 identified 9,645 potentially involved 2024 Sentras, and Nissan estimated that the defect could be present in 1% of that population.
The 24V-304 production window ran from July 21, 2023, through January 18, 2024. The remedy required inspection and, where needed, replacement of two components—the drive shaft and CVT assembly—at no charge for affected U.S. owners.

A separate Nissan campaign, PMA34, applied to certain 2023–2024 Sentras for driver-airbag-module replacement at no charge. The campaign’s model-year coverage describes a defined set of vehicles, not every Sentra produced in those years.

The sales figures in this overview are U.S. Nissan-reported tables, and the 2021 tables note that results may be revised. Brochure dimensions and EPA values are model-year specifications or estimates, IIHS values come from controlled tests on specified trims and test vehicles, and recall populations and defect prevalence are specific to their filings.
