Welcome to Bill Korum's Puyallup Nissan

Up to 38 mpg on the highway, a 12.3-inch touchscreen available across the range, and a new SR Midnight Edition package with black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof.
A Blacked-Out SR and a Smoother CVT
Three changes define the 2027 Sentra. There is a new Midnight Edition package for the SR grade with black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof. The Xtronic CVT gets new tuning for smoother, more responsive acceleration. And a Qi2 wireless device charger is available, which charges a modern phone faster and holds it more securely than the older pad.
Under the hood it is the familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder, rated at 149 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 146 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm. Grades run S, SV, SR and SL.
The number that sells Sentras in this market is 38 mpg highway. On the S, SV and SL the EPA rates it at 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined. The SR gives up a little for its wheels and tires at 29, 36 and 32. See what is on the lot in our Sentra inventory.
The Cabin and the Screens
Wheels, roof treatment and interior materials vary by grade.
Photos show the current-generation Sentra, which carries into 2027 with the new SR Midnight Edition package added.
Six Reasons It Still Makes Sense
Sedans are out of fashion and the Sentra keeps selling. On a long, flat, traffic-heavy commute it is hard to argue with.
38 MPG on the Highway
The S, SV and SL rate 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined. If your week is a round trip from Puyallup to Seattle or Renton on SR-167, that number is the whole argument.
A 12.3-Inch Screen Across the Range
The 12.3-inch touchscreen is available on every grade, with an enhanced 12.3-inch multi-information display on SV, SR and SL. That is a big-car cabin layout in a compact sedan.
New Midnight Edition on the SR
Black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof. If you want the Sentra to look like something other than sensible transportation, this is the one to order.
Qi2 Wireless Charging
The available Qi2 charger is a real upgrade over the older pad. It aligns magnetically, so the phone stays put through the roundabouts on South Hill instead of sliding off.
Standard Driver Assistance
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Prevention and Intelligent Cruise Control are standard across all trims.
14.3 Cubic Feet of Trunk
A compact sedan with a trunk that takes a full grocery run plus a stroller. Sedans give up ground clearance to SUVs, and they get some of it back in fuel economy and a lockable trunk.
A Quieter Way Through Traffic
The CVT retune is the change you feel rather than read. Nissan targeted smoother, more responsive acceleration, which in practice means fewer moments where the engine flares ahead of the car. On a slow crawl north through Sumner that is the difference between a relaxed drive and a tiring one.
Intelligent Cruise Control comes standard, which takes the worst of the stop-and-go off your right foot on I-5 between Fife and Federal Way. Pair it with the 12.3-inch screen and wireless phone mirroring and the Sentra cabin is a comfortable place to spend an hour.

A Commuter Car for a Commuter Corridor
The drive from Puyallup to Seattle is roughly 35 miles each way, and thousands of people here do some version of it. At 38 mpg highway, a Sentra covers that round trip on a good deal less fuel than the SUV parked next to it, and the Intelligent Cruise Control takes the edge off the SR-167 queue.
Sedans do give something up here. Ground clearance is lower than an SUV, which matters on an unplowed morning in Graham or Orting. If that is your road, look at the Kicks or the Rogue with all-wheel drive instead. For flat commuting on paved roads the Sentra is the cheaper answer.
We also keep used Sentras on the lot. The pattern is worth knowing about. Used inventory changes weekly, so call to check what is there.
The Long Commute
Puyallup to Seattle, Renton or Bellevue is a daily reality for a lot of this market. 38 mpg highway and standard Intelligent Cruise Control are what make that drive sustainable.
The Student Car
Pierce College, UW Tacoma and Bates are all inside a reasonable radius. A Sentra with standard Safety Shield equipment and a lockable trunk is a sound first car.
The SR Midnight Edition
Black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof. New for 2027 and the answer for anyone who likes the Sentra's economics but not its reputation for being invisible.

What South Sound Drivers Say
2027 Nissan Sentra Questions
What is new on the 2027 Nissan Sentra?
Three things. A new Midnight Edition package for the SR grade with black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof, new Xtronic CVT tuning for smoother acceleration, and an available Qi2 wireless device charger.
The 2.0-liter engine carries over at 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft, and the grade lineup stays S, SV, SR and SL.
What gas mileage does the 2027 Sentra get?
The S, SV and SL are EPA-rated at 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined. The SR rates 29 city, 36 highway and 32 combined because of its wheel and tire package.
On a Puyallup to Seattle commute up SR-167 that highway figure is the main reason people choose a Sentra over a small SUV.
Does the 2027 Nissan Sentra come with all-wheel drive?
No. The Sentra is front-wheel drive on every grade.
If you want all-wheel drive in a similar size and budget, look at the Nissan Kicks, which offers intelligent AWD on most grades and makes it standard on the new Rock Creek.
What is the Sentra SR Midnight Edition?
It is a new appearance package for 2027, available on the SR grade. It adds black 18-inch wheels and a two-tone roof to the SR's existing sport-oriented treatment.
It is a styling package rather than a performance one. The engine and transmission are the same as any other Sentra.
How big is the trunk in the 2027 Sentra?
The Sentra's trunk holds 14.3 cubic feet with the seats up, which is large for a compact sedan.
It takes a full grocery run from the South Hill Fred Meyer plus a stroller without folding anything down, and the contents stay out of sight.
What safety features are standard on the 2027 Sentra?
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Prevention and Intelligent Cruise Control are standard across every trim.
Intelligent Cruise Control in particular earns its keep on the I-5 stretch between Fife and Federal Way, where traffic speed changes constantly.
Can I test drive a 2027 Sentra in Puyallup?
Yes. We are at 101 Valley Ave NW in Puyallup, close to SR-167 and a short drive from Tacoma, Sumner, Auburn and Federal Way.
Call (253) 848-4507 or schedule online. Inventory turns over weekly, so call ahead if you want a specific grade or the Midnight Edition package ready to drive.
