Whether you're looking for a basic everyday driver that's reliable and affordable, or something with a little more style, the 2025 Nissan Sentra is worth a look. Let’s dig into what two of its trims, the S and SR, have to offer below!
Key Takeaways
- The base Sentra S is $22,785; the top trim, the SR, has a starting price of $25,785. Both prices are effective November 4, 2025.
- There was only one change to the middle trim, the SV, for 2025. The lineup is otherwise the same.
- The Nissan Sentra is surprisingly spacious for a compact sedan.
2025 Nissan Sentra S and SR Pricing and Trims
Not much has changed for the Sentra this year, but the SV trim now comes standard with NissanConnect, which adds a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and easy access to Nissan’s connected services through your phone. Other than that, everything remains the same.
Pricing for 2025 starts at $22,785 for the Sentra S and $25,785 for the Sentra SR.
Differences Between the S and SR Models
The base Sentra S features 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers and includes remote keyless entry with push-button start, cloth upholstery, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The sound system includes four speakers, and a single Type-A USB port provides device connectivity.
The Sentra SR takes a sporty approach with 18-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille, a rear spoiler, and LED headlights. Inside, a remote engine start, heated mirrors, dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats make comfort and convenience a top priority. The interior also gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel, sport cloth seats with orange contrast stitching, and a rear center armrest with cupholders.
Need even more luxuries? The SR Premium Package adds upgraded LED headlights, a power sunroof, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, synthetic leather upholstery with orange stitching, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-speaker Bose system. This package also brings NissanConnect with Wi-Fi and a surround-view camera system.
Performance and MPG in the 2025 Nissan Sentra S vs. SR
Every 2025 Sentra comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, and paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive.
Fuel economy is another strong point for the Sentra. The S trim achieves 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, while the SR trim returns 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway due to its larger wheels. (That's still not too shabby!)
Is the Nissan Sentra Spacious?
Despite its compact classification, the Sentra feels open and comfortable inside. The longer body and wider stance create real stretch-out space for passengers, especially in the rear. Adults can ride comfortably in both rows without feeling cramped—a rarity in the sedan segment.
Which Sentra Trim Is the Better Buy?
If you’re on a budget and want a dependable sedan with strong fuel economy, the Sentra S may very well be the clear winner in this competition. But if you prefer something that feels a bit more upscale, the SR makes a strong case for spending a little more (and it's still very affordable).
