Overview
It's elusive a superior meaning of "meat and potatoes model" than the Nissan Altima. A huge number of U.S. vehicle purchasers have brought Altimas back home basically in light of the fact that they need reasonable, thrifty, solid, agreeable transportation, and the Altima hits each objective. The 188-hp base motor is completely sufficient and gets up to 39 mpg on the interstate. The discretionary turbocharged, variable-pressure four-chamber motor puts out to 248 drive on premium fuel regardless returns 34 mpg on the roadway. All-wheel drive is accessible. There's a roomy lodge, open to seating, a decent measured infotainment screen, a lot of room for freight, and a strong rundown of standard security highlights. Simply expect nothing moving toward the sort of driving person that rouses enthusiasm. The constantly factor programmed transmission (CVT) in each Altima conveys fantastic mileage at the expense of energetic speed increase and imperativeness. However, sharp lines and garish discretionary wheels on the ongoing model spruce up the car's humble yearnings rather well.
What's New for 2024?
After an inconspicuous restyle and some gear redesigns for 2023, the 2024 Nissan Altima makes one minor computerized change. NissanConnect Administrations, which empowers highlights like remote locking, far off motor turning over, and crisis calling, is incorporated with a three-year preliminary rather than a six-month preliminary. Rumors from far and wide suggest that the Altima — and its younger sibling, the subcompact Versa — will just stay close by for several years.
Evaluating and Which One to Purchase
The cost of the 2024 Nissan Altima begins at $27,140 and goes up to $36,840 relying upon the trim and choices.
We like the SR for its little gesture toward corrective and dynamic improvement. This trim is more enjoyable to drive thanks to an all the more tightly tuned suspension responsible for bigger, 19-inch wheels. A similar haggle combo on a 2019 Altima SL we tried — without the sportier suspension — beat the cornering hold of a BMW 330i xDrive. Solace highlights move forward too, with the SR coming norm with an eight-way power driver's seat, remote Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, a redesigned computerized measure group, a cowhide wrapped directing wheel, and that's just the beginning. We'd likewise spring for the $2,890 Premium bundle, its abundance including a sliding moonroof, warmed cowhide seats, WiFi area of interest capacity, and the bigger 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The SR is one of the three center trims that can be optioned with all-wheel drive for $1,500, a component not accessible on the base S and top-rack SR VC-Super.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Each Altima save the SR VC-Super accompanies a 2.5-liter four-chamber motor making 188 strength and 180 pound-feet of force. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-chamber in the reach clincher makes 248 ponies while drinking premium gas. Each Altima shifts through a ceaselessly factor programmed transmission (CVT). The CVT denies the fun of utilizing the oar shifters on prepared manages, yet this isn't the sort of vehicle one ought to push that hard, at any rate. The Altima scores "Fine" on practically the entirety of its dynamic tests. Directing is exact for the section, slowing down is expeditious and straight. The 2.5-liter four-chamber surrenders to raucous motor commotion when requested to convey more than unsurprising, average speed increase. A comfortable ride on the 16-or 17-inch wheels stays cool headed over street blemishes and unbalanced asphalt. The huge portion of additional power in the VC-Super motor makes the Altima fundamentally speedier. In any case, even with the sportiest suspension, the Altima is never as enjoyable to drive as the less-strong Accord, and the 19-inch wheels that add hold on twisty streets likewise diminish the ride quality.
0-60 MPH Times
With the 2.5-liter four-chamber and all-wheel drive, the Altima hit 60 mph in 7.6 seconds in our testing. With the turbocharged 2.0-liter and front-wheel drive, the Altima is far speedier, hitting 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
Mileage and Genuine MPG
The Altima has long made grandiose efficiency part of its enticement for vehicle customers, the car doing as such without depending on a crossover or module mixture powertrain. In standard front-wheel drive design, the base 2.5-liter four-chamber motor can get an EPA-assessed 27 mpg city and 39 parkway in the S and SV manages. With all-wheel drive, those EPA gauges drop to 26 mpg city and 36 mpg on the interstate. The turbocharged 2.0-liter gets an EPA-assessed 25 mpg city and 34 mpg on the parkway. On our 75-mph parkway mileage course — part of our broad testing routine — the all-wheel-drive Altima accomplished 35 mpg; the VC-Super variant recorded an eminent 37 mpg.

Inside, Solace, and Freight
The main low spots inside — and they're not excessively low — seem where the Altima claims to be more than it is. The level lined controlling haggle carbon fiber inside trim on our SV analyzer, for example, were excessive for a vehicle with unassuming power, a CVT, no oar shifters, and no drive modes. Same for the forceful lumbar help on the generally welcoming front seats. The lodge is generally just as agreeable and pleasant as the driving experience. Easy to understand switchgear spots the direct dashboard. Inside materials shift among trim levels, yet there are no failure. That is a victory thinking about how frequently hard plastics in certain vehicles transform into sensitive areas for the eyes and the appendages, and even extravagance producers sporadically misunderstand them. There's fair capacity front and center, with slender, yet profound, entryway pockets and a helpful plate on the mid control area. Enormous back seats give a lot of legroom. Tragically, the Nissan's back seats don't crease totally level and they should be delivered involving handles in the storage compartment, which is awkward. We fit six lightweight suitcases in the Altima's trunk and 17 sacks absolute with the back seats collapsed. These numbers matched those of the Toyota Camry we tried, however both the Altima and Camry missed the mark concerning the Agreement's 19 packs.
Infotainment and Availability
The Altima's standard 8.0-inch touchscreen has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capacity. The infotainment interface has an adjustable fundamental menu however generally scarcely any personalization choices. While the sound framework has helpful handles for volume and tuning, the touchscreen we tried answered gradually to inputs. Altima SL and SR get a 12.3-inch touchscreen with route, remote telephone charging, and WiFi area of interest standard. The greater screen is discretionary on SV models.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Each Altima has forward-impact advance notice and mechanized crisis slowing down, vulnerable side observing, high-shaft help, back cross-traffic caution, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Nissan likewise offers a semi-independent drive mode called ProPilot Help. For more data about the Altima's accident test results, visit the Public Parkway Traffic Wellbeing Organization (NHTSA) and Protection Establishment for Expressway Security (IIHS) sites. Key wellbeing highlights include:
- Standard path takeoff cautioning with accessible path keeping help
- Standard back robotized crisis slowing down
- Accessible versatile journey control
