2025 Nissan Altima Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Easy-to-drive nature
Good fuel economy

Cons

Poor outward visibility due to low-resolution backup camera and thick roof pillars
Steering lacks road feel and can be slow to respond
Disappointing interior quality
Lacks a hybrid powertrain option

What's new

New SV Special Edition package
Turbocharged engine is discontinued
Part of the sixth Altima generation introduced for 2019

Overview

The Nissan Altima is one of the midsize sedan class' oldest nameplates, battling the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord for family-sedan supremacy since 1993. The 2025 Altima might not be the best in its class but it's still a viable pick. We like the Altima's straightforward design, high fuel economy and solid value. But a number of rivals offer the same strengths alongside a more comfortable ride, superior performance or a more sizable cabin.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.34 per gallon for regular unleaded in Pennsylvania.}

Edmunds spotlight: Turbocharged engine is discontinued for 2025

Previously, Nissan offered a 248-horsepower turbocharged engine in the Altima. It's gone for 2025, leaving only the base 188-hp engine. For most shoppers, this is probably fine. The base engine is powerful enough for routine driving and gets pretty good fuel economy on the highway. What we'd really like to see is Nissan offer a hybrid option. Other sedans with hybrid powertrains are just as powerful as the Altima and get considerably higher mpg in the city.

Competitors to consider

The aforementioned Accord and Camry are the class all-stars, with the latter switching to hybrid-only power for its 2025 redesign. We also think the Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata siblings are worth checking out. Both are stylish and offer high-performance engines that pump out nearly 300 horsepower. Read our test team's in-depth Expert Rating below to find out what they think of the Altima's tech, comfort, fuel efficiency and more.

Our Verdict

^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads.

7.5

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

How does the Altima drive? The Altima won't win you over with stellar acceleration or braking. Our test all-wheel-drive Altima had the 2.5-liter engine, and it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in an unremarkable 8.4 seconds. The CVT automatic is well tuned, however, and helps make the Altima an almost invisible partner during day-to-day driving.

Another bright spot is the stable handling. You'll have confidence guiding the Altima through fast, sweeping curves. But this handling prowess underscores the Altima's overly light and vague steering.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Altima? The Altima is a calm place to sit out daily traffic. The front seats are generally comfortable, but some drivers might wish for more thigh support. Engine noises are commendably well isolated even under hard acceleration.

Less appealing is the constant stream of little impacts you'll feel when driving over rough road surfaces. The Altima's ride seems continuously busy in these instances, and larger impacts can be pretty jarring.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The interior lacks style, but it more than makes up for it with straightforward usability. In particular, the climate controls and touchscreen functions are clearly labeled and easy to reach.

Though most of the Altima's sight lines are good, rear visibility is hampered by the high rear decklid. Also problematic are the low-resolution rearview camera and the distracting reflections off the dashboard and rear decklid you'll see in the windows during bright sunlight.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Altima we tested had the big 12.3-inch touchscreen. It comes with wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and an onboard navigation system. Though the screen's size and responsiveness make it seem modern, it's let down by software that looks and feels outdated.

The navigation system's functionality is solid; it responded well to voice commands in our tests and easily found destinations (thanks to searches powered by Google). But the map's graphics look old and dated. Plug in your phone and use either Google Maps or Apple Maps and those maps look super sharp, so it's not a problem with the screen itself. The backup and surround-view camera displays are also low-resolution and hard to see, especially when you're trying to use them at night.

The Altima's ProPilot Assist system, which includes lane centering and low-speed adaptive cruise control, is quite the bonus. The adaptive cruise control works very well, needing little correction in traffic.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Altima's trunk isn't the biggest in the class, but it can still accept a few full-size suitcases. Its squared-off shape also makes it easy to load to the maximum capacity. The folding rear seats are standard fare but can only be released through a pull tab in the trunk. They must be lowered by physically pulling on the seatback from the inside — they don't automatically fold when released. Front passengers have ample storage for small items. However, the cupholders are a bit shallow for taller bottles.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? We tested the all-wheel-drive Altima, which the EPA estimates gets 30 mpg combined. It posted an impressive 34 mpg on our mixed-driving real-world evaluation route. Odds are you can expect to get pretty good fuel economy from the Altima.

Value

7/10

Is the Altima a good value? Roomy and comfortable with the option of all-wheel drive, the Altima proves it has some distinctive value in the midsize sedan class. Warranties are middle-of-the-road, as is the roadside assistance offering. A strong showing with highway fuel economy could tip the scales for long-distance drivers as could the all-wheel drive for those who live in areas with inclement weather.

But some spots of poor build quality and a lack of attention to detail set the Altima back where it can least afford it. Gaps where the dashboard meets the windshield, and a hood design that makes it look out of alignment, stand out when it's compared to better-built competitors.

Wildcard

7.5/10

It's nice to see just how normal the latest-generation Altima really is. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but the experience of driving and living with the Altima is generally more than the sum of its parts. The class is fiercely competitive and it takes a pretty good car just to be midpack. The Nissan goes about tackling daily driving without much effort from the driver and provides passengers ample comfort.

Which Altima does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest opting for the well-equipped SV model. The sporty SR model looks good, but the money you save by sticking with the SV can be put toward the long list of features you get with the optional Premium package or toward the optional all-wheel-drive system if you need it.

2022 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I have the Altima SV, quietest and smoothest drive I’ve experienced with great pickup. The sound quality is excellent. Would recommend apple car play over the more finicky android car play.

2022 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I love it! Smooth, responsive, and handles great on the interstate. I recommend to any one looking at an affordable car with great looks!

Great Ride

DesertDriver , 02/01/2023

2022 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Really super nice car, MPG is outstanding, smooth quiet ride, SR trim has plenty of options to satisfy most drivers. Don’t let the negative reviews fool you, this car is not a sports car but has ample power for the everyday driver. Regarding reliability, if you take care of it with regular maintenance and drive responsibly it will serve you well for many years.

As good as my last 2020 Altima

Hank Wilko, 05/30/2022

2022 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

My last 2020 Altima was the best auto I have ever owned and this new 2022 is every bit as good. One improvement I liked was the change to a manual rear view mirror. The earlier version had a slower reacting electronic LCD dimmer when the bright lights hit, and was not dark enough to shield my eyes. Now with a snap of my finger the mirror darkens immediately, and makes night time driving …
