A Guide for Whitby Drivers
At Midway Nissan, we prioritize providing our Durham Region customers with the most accurate information regarding vehicle safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently awarded the 2026 Nissan Sentra its highest possible designation: TOP SAFETY PICK+.
This rating indicates that the Sentra met the most stringent crash-test requirements and technology standards established for the 2026 model year.
To earn the "Plus" (+) status, a vehicle must achieve high marks in every category tested by the IIHS. For 2026, the Sentra standardized several engineering and lighting features that were previously restricted to higher trim levels or optional packages.

<The IIHS evaluates headlights based on their ability to illuminate the road on straightaways and curves without creating excessive glare for oncoming drivers. By making LED projectors standard, every 2026 Sentra delivers a "Good" rating for visibility, ensuring safety performance is consistent regardless of the price point chosen.
The Sentra features a body structure designed to redirect energy away from the cabin during an accident. Key structural elements include:
