While SUVs continue to be the central attraction of Nissan’s current product lineup, there are a few options for buyers looking for a more road-focused vehicle from the Japanese brand: perfect to serve as a first car for a novice driver, as a comfortable daily driver for commutes, or as an affordable mode of functional transportation to serve ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft. Nissan sedans are not as diverse nor as prevalent compared to previous years, but the 2026 model year still offers a few Nissan sedan models to choose from. If you have any reason to doubt that there are indeed multiple new Nissan sedans currently available, read on below.All information and pricing quoted here is correct at the time of writing as sourced from the automaker. Prices quoted exclude destination, options, and fees. Manufacturers reserve the right to change prices at any time without notice. 2025 Nissan Versa The Cheapest Nissan Sedan 2024 Nissan Versa Exterior The Versa has served as the smallest Nissan sedan on sale in the North American market since its introduction in the 2000s, and while Nissan pulled the plug on its cheapest subcompact offering last year, the MY2025 Versa is still available as the company attempts to push the remaining supply out through showrooms. Those who step up to the more expensive Versa trims (SV and SR) not only benefit from stylish alloy wheels, but a larger touchscreen infotainment system with support for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, keyless entry/start, and an LCD instrument cluster. Even then, prices barely exceed $20,000.*excludes options, destination, and any rebatesIn a previous review, when this final iteration of the Versa (for the North American market) first debuted, we highlighted that while this subcompact Nissan sedan won’t excite in driving thrills or under the hood, it still brings a level of equipment at its price point that makes it shine for new car buyers on a tight budget that want the most value for their. It is a functional mode of transport that is safe and generally frugal on gas - qualities that are becoming harder to find among the cheapest new cars on sale today."It may not have the most impressive interior quality, but given its price point, the Versa's impressive features roster embarrasses many cars that cost significantly more... It's easy to see where Nissan cut costs on materials, but it's impressive how many features the company could fit into a car for such a low price."- Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-at-Large, CarBuzz 2026 Nissan Sentra Nissan's Answer To The Toyota Corolla 2026 Nissan Sentra front 3/4The most up-to-date, or refreshed, of all Nissan sedan models available for MY2026 is the latest iteration of the Japanese marque’s rival to sedans like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, and Toyota Corolla - the Nissan Sentra. Now in its ninth generation, the Sentra underwent a complete, top-to-bottom refresh, with a design that blends traits from its all-electric Ariya and Leaf siblings. This all-new Nissan sedan also brings plenty of amenities from its base trim (2026 Nissan Sentra S) as standard, including LED exterior lights, remote keyless entry with push-button ignition, heated front seats, and adaptive cruise control at no extra cost.A combined digital instrument cluster dashboard setup is also available from the Sentra SV and up, with a Bose premium audio system and ProPILOT advanced driver-assist systems reserved for the top-end variants. The powertrain remains identical across each trim: a 2.0L inline-four paired to a CVT automatic transmission.*excludes options, destination, and any rebatesThe 2026 lineup for the Sentra begins from just below $23,000 for the base Sentra S, with the more sporty appearance brought by the Sentra SR with its blacked-out exterior pieces, rear spoiler, and two-tone roof color scheme starting from $25,000. Our first drive impressions of the Sentra complemented the premium-style materials Nissan has added to the cabin, which make even the cheapest trims feel more expensive than they are, along with the breadth of standard features that should satisfy buyers in a very cost-sensitive economy and new-car market."The Sentra is an entry-level car that doesn't want to be something the owner has to endure until they can afford to upgrade, and, at face value, it succeeds brilliantly. The new Sentra's interior defies its price-point in terms of materials and finish, while competing on convenience, and the infotainment is more compelling than its immediate competitors."- Ian Wright, Senior Road Tester, CarBuzz 2026 Nissan Altima Nissan’s (Infamous) Midsize Sedan 2023 - 2025 Nissan Altima 6th Gen (L34) Facelift Front Top AngleWhen not confirming its reputation as an unofficial (terror) on highways and populating fleets of rental car firms, Nissan’s answer to midsize sedans like the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata remains available for those eyeing a model in this segment within the $25,000–$35,000 range. The Altima has been consolidated for its latest model year, with the entry-level 'S' trim dropped, leaving only the Altima SV and SR trims within the midsize Nissan model’s lineup. The turbocharged four-cylinder has also been discontinued (from MY2025 onward), with all variants of the Altima only available with the 2.5L naturally aspirated four-pot paired to the brand’s XTronic CVT automatic transmission, with power sent to either the front or all four wheels.*excludes options, destination, and any rebatesYet, the lineup for the 2026 Altima is the most diverse of all the Nissan sedan models featured here, with eight configurations buyers can choose from that bring varying levels of equipment and the option for either front- or all-wheel drive. Prices start from around $27,000 for the entry-level Altima SV FWD, going all the way to $32,000 for the fully loaded, top-line Altima SR Midnight Edition Intelligent AWD. Buyers of the Altima who want a little extra tech and cosmetic touches on top can also consider the SV Special Edition and SR Midnight Edition, which bring slightly sharper exterior details, black alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, and a power moonroof. Reputation aside, this Nissan sedan still offers a competitively priced package for those looking for safe, affordable transportation in the midsize segment.
