With a powerful engine, great average fuel economy, and a small overall profile that doesn’t compromise on cargo or passenger space, there’s quite a bit to love!

Get to Know the Nissan Altima

The Altima is Nissan’s entry into the four-door sedan market and is ideal for a daily driver whether you are commuting within a city or taking your family around in the suburbs. The Altima comes standard with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces a sporty 188 horsepower in both FWD and AWD variants.

The engine can be upgraded to an even more powerful FWD 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 248 horsepower. Beyond what’s under the hood, the interior of the Altima is roomy and designed with the comfort of the driver and passenger in mind, including built-in lumbar support, soft armrests, and built-in storage compartments in the doors and center console to expand cargo space.

What’s New in the 2023 Altima?

The Altima was given a facelift in 2023, though it is still built upon the latest redesign, which was introduced by Nissan in 2019. The 2023 model of the Altima is available in five trim levels: the base-level S, the SV, the SR, the SL, and the SR VC-Turbo. The turbocharged engine is only available in the top-level SR VC-Turbo trim, which also comes standard with a number of performance upgrades like a rear spoiler and 19-inch aluminum wheels.

Interior and Exterior Updates

Overall, the exterior has been updated with a new front grille and standard LED headlights across all trim levels. The SL and SR-level trims come standard with a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen and infotainment center with wireless Apple CarPlay integration in the center console, which is available as an option on the SV-level trim. Optional upgrades include a wireless charging pad and a subscription-based WiFi hotspot.

Safety Features

Notably, Nissan has also expanded the features that come standard in its Safety Shield 360 suite of safety features. All trim levels of the 2023 Altima now come standard with blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert to avoid collisions when in reverse, rear and forward automatic emergency braking and pedestrian monitoring, automatic high beams, and an automated driver alertness warning feature to tell you when it’s time to take a break on long trips.
