Chinese Filing Previews Next Nissan Sentra With Sharper Design, Slightly Larger Footprint

Reports point to possible U.S. production to dodge tariffs.

Overview

  • Images and specs in China’s MIIT filing for the 2026 Sylphy are being treated as a near-direct preview of the next Sentra for North America.
  • Published measurements show a slight increase in length and width while retaining the 106.7-inch wheelbase and overall height.
  • The redesign features a Murano-influenced front with a full-width LED light bar, slim headlamps, and vertical daytime running lights.
  • China’s version continues with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, while U.S. reporting points to a likely carryover 2.0-liter with potential 1.5-liter turbo and e‑Power hybrid options.
  • Industry reports say Nissan is considering shifting Sentra production from Mexico to Mississippi to avoid tariffs as the model’s role grows with Versa and Altima expected to exit after 2025.
