What's New for 2025?
The 2025 Altima offers a new SV Special Edition package that includes a gloss-black wheels, a sunroof, a 12.3-inch color display, a wireless phone-charging pad and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Regrettably, the spicy VC-Turbo specification with its 248-horsepower engine has been discontinued.
FAST FACTS
"Toiling in relative obscurity while Toyota and Honda buy all the TV ads, the Altima makes a solid case for itself if you look at the numbers. Its fuel economy aligns with that of the non-hybrid Accord, while its features and dimensions are generally competitive by segment standards. We wouldn't shy away from this Nissan at the right price, but it's definitely a value play more than a car you'd be genuinely excited to own."—Ranked #6 out of 7 Midsize Sedans
