If you’re searching for one of the most affordable and stylish sedans out there, you can’t go wrong with the 2021 Nissan Sentra. This small sedan is the perfect vehicle for people who want to zip through the city streets and save on fuel during long-haul road trips. However, one of the biggest reasons people keep coming back to the Sentra is its cozy cabin and impressive list of standard and available features. Use this guide to decide which 2021 Nissan Sentra is the right one for you.
Sedan Style
The 2021 Nissan Sentra is produced in three trim levels that you can choose between to find your perfect level of luxury. Opt for the affordable yet well-equipped entry-level S, or upgrade to the SV or top-of-the-line SR.
Each of the Sentra trim levels seats five passengers. The rear row’s seat backs are 60/40-split, allowing you to open up the cargo space in the trunk to fit longer items. Depending on the trim level you choose, you’ll have the option between several upholstery materials and styles. Let’s take a look at what creature comforts each of these Nissan Sentra trim levels has to offer their drivers.
Sentra S
The Sentra S comes equipped with a basic air-conditioning system and an in-cabin microfilter to keep your cabin fresh and comfortable. Each Sentra offers a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that lets you create the perfect fit for your body. The front passenger’s seat is four-way adjustable. At the S trim level, the Sentra has basic cloth seat.
The S, as well as all other trim levels, features a push-button ignition. The GT-R-inspired vents give the cabin a sporty appeal. The Sentra sports a flat-bottomed D-shaped steering wheel to increase its exciting style. The floating touch screen rises from the center stack to give your Sentra a futuristic feel. Though the S is the entry-level Sentra, you’ll have plenty to enjoy during your joyrides and commutes.
Sentra SV

When you upgrade to the Sentra SV, you’ll see many of the Sentra’s available comfort features become standard. The air conditioner is upgraded to a dual-zone automatic temperature control system. Prepare your cabin before you enter it with the SV’s standard remote engine start system. The six-way driver’s seat can be upgraded to a power-adjustable version with two-way power lumbar support at the SV level. The SV upgrades the seat upholstery with premium cloth for a more upscale and comfortable experience. You also have the option to upgrade to the tan quilted leather-appointed upholstery and heated front-row seats.
The SV is the luxury-minded trim level of the group, as you’ll see with touches such as the standard leather-wrapped steering wheel and available leather-wrapped shift knob. The SV also switches out the S’s four-speaker sound system for one with six speakers. You can get many of the SV’s available features, including the power-sliding glass moonroof, by opting for a model with the SV Premium Package.
Sentra ST
The ST is the sporty trim level of the Sentra lineup — perfect for drivers who want an edge on the road. Its upholstery is switched to sport cloth seat trim with contrasting orange stitching to ramp up its style. Also available are Prima-Tex simulated leather seats with contrasting orange stitching. The ST has access to optional sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors and an automatic-dimming rearview mirror. The ST comes standard with the leather-wrapped shift knob and has the option to upgrade to a heated steering wheel.
If you want an enhanced music-listening experience, opt for the ST’s available eight-speaker Bose sound system. Most of the ST’s available features are a part of the SR Premium Package.
Technology

Each 2021 Sentra comes outfitted with a 7-inch smart touch screen. This screen comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. These programs allow you to connect your smartphone to your Nissan for safer and easier hands-free use. Whether you’re looking up directions to your destination, playing your favorite songs, or sending and receiving text messages, these programs allow you to do so more safely. If you opt for the SV, this screen grows into an 8-inch infotainment system. This screen gives you access to the NissanConnect services, as well as in-cabin Wi-Fi at the ST level.
You can maintain your devices’ charge with the standard USB port. At the SV level, you’ll get two USB ports and one USB-C port. There is a port on the back of the center console to allow your rear-row riders to connect their devices as well. The Sentra also offers an auxiliary port for audio.
The Sentra also comes standard with a 4.2-inch Drive-Assist Display that sits between your driver’s gauges behind the steering wheel. This screen shows you information that’s pertinent to your drive, including speed, turn-by-turn navigation directions, incoming calls, and more. At the SV level, this screen increases to 7 inches in size, which makes half of your driver information cluster a digital screen.
