Delivering outstanding performance, excellent fuel economy, and innovative tech, the 2024 Nissan Altima is the obvious choice when shopping for a midsize sedan. However, with five trims available, choosing which model best suits your needs can be tough. We give you the details to help make the decision easier.
1. S
The S is a very well-equipped base trim. A sleek exterior boasts an eye-catching black grille with chrome surround, bright LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, and 16-inch steel wheels. Under the hood hides a powerful 188 horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder 16-valve engine.
Move inside and you’re greeted with cloth-lined seating, with the driver getting a six-way manual seat. A seven-inch touchscreen acts as the infotainment hub and a five-inch multi-function display relays vehicle information to the driver. The S is also equipped with handy safety and convenient features, including remote access and start, cruise control, a rearview camera, and pedestrian detection with automatic emergency braking.
2. SV
The SV retains the S’s design but gains larger upgraded 17-inch machined alloy wheels. Drivers receive a comfort boost from an eight-way power-adjustable seat and a clearer seven-inch instrument display. An eight-inch multi-touch infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration is also introduced as standard.
3. SR
Building on the SV, the SR receives a sporty makeover in the form of a dark chrome grille, black side mirrors, 19-inch wheels, dual chrome exhaust finishers, and a charcoal rear diffuser. Nissan also gives the SR a sport-tuned suspension for improved handling. Piano black interior finishers with a silver geometric trim continue the sporty theme on the inside.
4. SL
The SL returns to the SV’s style but builds upon it in terms of luxury and comfort. Leather upholstery gives the interior a more sophisticated feel while a power-sliding glass moonroof floods the cabin with natural light. Dual-zone automatic climate control regulates the temperature throughout and front passengers receive heated seats for additional comfort during colder months. Another infotainment upgrade introduces a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charge pad, and a nine-speaker Bose sound system.
5. SR VC-Turbo
Bringing everything together is the SR VC-Turbo which combines the sporty elements of the SR with the luxury features of the SL. Nissan has also ensured the top trim delivers the most athletic performance by switching out the engine for a more powerful 248-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo one.
From the affordable S to the fully equipped SR VC-Turbo, the Nissan Altima delivers performance, style, and quality in a midsize package. Contact Ed Martin Nissan in Indianapolis, IN today to learn more about each model and identify the Altima that matches your lifestyle.
