Nissan Sentra Key Types by Year
Nissan Sentra keys have changed over time, and the correct replacement depends on the specific vehicle. These eras are a general guide, not a promise that every year or trim uses the same key. We confirm the correct type from your car’s year, trim and VIN.
About 2000–2019: Keyed versions with a chip key
Many keyed Sentra versions from this period use a chip key. The key must match the vehicle’s requirements, so share the year, trim and VIN when you contact us.
Some newer trims: Push-to-start smart key
Some newer Sentra trims use a push-to-start smart key instead of a traditional keyed ignition. We check your vehicle details to identify the correct key or fob before working at the car.
