Nissan may be planning to discontinue the Altima midsize four-door sedan in 2026, but in the meantime, it has slimmed down the complexity of the lineup—at least in its powertrain offerings.
This year, Nissan has dropped the former turbo-4 option that once promised to boost performance and efficiency across the Nissan and Infiniti lineups. That 2.0-liter turbo-4, dubbed the SR VC-Turbo, could vary its engine compression through a complex mechanical system that didn't deliver transformative power, wasn't available with all-wheel drive, cost more, and didn't lift fuel economy in the Altima at all.
The only power option this year is a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 188 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque in front-wheel-drive configuration, or 182 hp and 178 lb-ft with all-wheel drive.Prices start at $28,140 and include cloth seats and a wired-connectivity-enabled 8.0-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Prices start at $28,140 for the Altima S, which includes cloth upholstery and an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wired connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They rise to $28,750 for the new Altima SV with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive boosts that by another $1,500. All 2025 Altima sedans get three free oil changes during the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership. All models have automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, and automatic high beams.
The new Altima SV puts together some popular equipment in one trim level. It includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a sunroof, a rear spoiler, 17-inch wheels, a wireless charging pad, and interior trim styled to look like carbon fiber.
It's $29,970 for the Altima SR, with AWD at a $1,500 premium. Nissan charges $34,470 for the Altima SL, with the same increase for all-wheel drive. Features at the top of the sedan lineup include the 12.3-inch screen, Bose premium sound, wireless smartphone connectivity, a wireless smartphone charger, a surround-view camera system, a sunroof, and adaptive cruise control with limited hands-free functionality.
Senior Writer The quest for automotive knowledge began as soon as the earliest memories. Various sources information, even questionable ones, have been explored including video games, television, magazines, or even internet forums. Still stuck in that rabbit hole.
