Curb weight tracks the equipment: the S and SV both weigh in at 3,097 pounds, the SR at 3,153, and the loaded SL at 3,177. Weight distribution is a consistent 62/38 front to rear on every trim, and gross vehicle weight ratings run 4,079 pounds on S and SV and 4,123 on SR and SL.

That low mass is a quiet advantage. It is part of why the 149-horsepower four feels adequate around town and why the Sentra's EPA estimates reach 38 highway mpg on most grades. One thing you will not find is a tow rating, because Nissan does not publish one for the Sentra.

• Curb weight: 3,097 lb on S and SV
• SR 3,153 lb; SL 3,177 lb
• GVWR 4,079 lb (S, SV) and 4,123 lb (SR, SL)
• 62/38 front/rear weight distribution
• No factory tow rating is published

The Sentra measures 183.3 inches nose to tail on a 106.5-inch wheelbase, with a 57.1-inch roofline that gets its sleek look from the fastback-style rear glass. Those numbers are unchanged from the 2026 redesign, and Nissan notes the body only looks bigger than the outgoing generation; the footprint barely moved.

The long wheelbase pays off inside, where front passengers get 44.0 inches of legroom, best in class per Nissan, and the trunk holds 14.3 cubic feet with a low liftover and a 60/40-split folding seatback for the longer runs to Home Depot.

• Overall length: 183.3 inches
• Wheelbase: 106.5 inches
• Height: 57.1 inches with fastback roofline
• 44.0-in front legroom, best in class per Nissan
• 14.3 cu ft trunk with 60/40-split folding seat

At 71.5 inches wide, the Sentra fits standard garage bays and grocery-store spaces without drama while still opening up 56.2 inches of front shoulder room and 53.3 of hip room. Ground clearance splits by trim, 4.7 inches on S and SV and 4.8 on SR and SL, and the drag coefficient dips as low as 0.268 on the smaller-wheeled grades.

Maneuverability is the width story's second half: dual-pinion electric steering and a 38.1-foot curb-to-curb turning circle make U-turns on Main Street a one-shot affair. Wheel sizes range from 16s on S and SV through the SL's 17s to the SR's 18s, all with a tire repair kit in place of a spare.

• Overall width: 71.5 inches
• Front shoulder room: 56.2 inches
• 38.1-ft curb-to-curb turning circle
• Ground clearance: 4.7 in (S, SV) or 4.8 in (SR, SL)
• Tire repair kit standard; no spare tire
