Which 2023 Sentra trim does Edmunds recommend?

Nissan hasn't released official information on the 2023 Sentra as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Sentra, we recommend the SV trim with the All-Weather package. It comes with some desirable features you can't get on the base trim, such as dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, heated seats and traffic-adaptive cruise control.
