Who it suits. Drivers wanting a midsize front-wheel-drive gasoline car Highway drivers who value a 36-MPG EPA rating Buyers comparing 32 MPG combined cars
Choose the 2027 Nissan Sentra SR if a midsize body, front-wheel drive, and gasoline engine match your daily needs. Its 32 MPG combined rating is the main benchmark, with city use rated at 29 MPG and highway use at 36 MPG. EPA's $2,100 annual fuel-cost figure gives the clearest budget marker. The 280-gram-per-mile CO2 figure is another part of ownership to weigh. This model is a sensible match for drivers whose priorities fit those numbers and its conventional powertrain.
What it is
The 2027 Nissan Sentra SR is a midsize gasoline car. It uses front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission with variable gear ratios.
Its defining EPA figure is 32 MPG combined. That rating blends city and highway driving into one number for comparing similar cars.
The numbers
EPA rates the Sentra SR at 29 MPG in city driving and 36 MPG on the highway. The 7-MPG gap shows how the car's rated efficiency changes with driving conditions.
Tailpipe CO2 is 280 grams per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA lists annual fuel cost at $2,100. That is the stated yearly gasoline cost for this model under the EPA's standard assumptions.
How it compares
The Sentra SR sits in the EPA midsize-car class. Its 32 combined MPG rating provides a point of comparison with other cars in that class.
Who it suits
This car fits a driver who wants a midsize gasoline car with front-wheel drive and a 32-MPG combined rating.
Its 36-MPG highway figure may matter most if much of your driving is on highways.
Trade-offs
The EPA city rating is 29 MPG, lower than the 36-MPG highway rating, so stop-and-go use changes the expected fuel economy.
It runs on gasoline and has tailpipe emissions of 280 grams of CO2 per mile. Its listed annual fuel cost is $2,100.
Verdict
The Sentra SR gives you a straightforward midsize-car setup: gasoline power, front-wheel drive, and a variable-ratio automatic. The useful number for mixed driving is 32 MPG combined, while highway-focused drivers can look to the 36-MPG rating. Budgeting $2,100 a year for fuel and accepting 280 grams of CO2 per mile captures the running-cost side. It makes sense for someone choosing this class and powertrain without needing a different fuel type or drivetrain.
