Edmunds Rating

The Nissan Altima has been on the fringes of the midsize segment for the better part of a decade. This latest Altima generation is more appealing thanks to solid fuel economy and useful driver safety aids, but it fails to truly match the segment all-stars.

Pros

Available all-wheel-drive system
Easy-to-drive nature
Impressive collection of driver assist systems
Favorable fuel economy estimates

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
Limited availability of turbocharged engine

What's new

Updated front-end styling
New optional 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay
Handful of new features
Platinum trim is discontinued
Part of the sixth Altima generation introduced for 2019

The latest-generation Nissan Altima has been around since 2019. Available with front- or all-wheel drive and your choice of two engines, the Altima is easy to drive, comes with plenty of advanced driver aids, and is fairly fuel-efficient.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR 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 $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

For 2023, Nissan is introducing a few upgrades to keep the Altima competitive with other family haulers. Changes start with the outside — the revised Altima removes the V-shaped chrome strip in the grille, and the triangular elements located below the headlights are enlarged. There's also a new 12.3-inch touchscreen that's standard on the SL and SR VC-Turbo and optional for the SV. It replaces the previous 8-inch option and adds wireless Apple CarPlay in the process (Android Auto still requires a wired connection). A wireless charging pad and Wi-Fi hotspot are available options as well.

As generally agreeable as the Nissan Altima is, it resides in the bottom half of our rankings for midsize sedans. Competitors such as the Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry offer better visibility and more features, while the highly rated Kia K5, Mazda 6 and Honda Accord exude a premium look and feel the Altima can't match. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for more detail on the upsides and downsides of making an Altima your next midsize sedan.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

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 sightlines 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.

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 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

8.0/10

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.

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

7.0/10

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 new 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 think the SV trim is the smart choice for all-around value. The SV can also be had with optional all-wheel drive.

Nissan Altima models

Nissan sells the 2023 Altima midsize sedan in five trim levels: S, SV, SR, SL and SR VC-Turbo. The first four trims come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (188 horsepower, 180 lb-ft of torque) and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard but an all-wheel-drive system is optional for the SV, SR and SL. With AWD, engine output drops to 182 hp and 178 lb-ft. At the top of the lineup is the Altima SR with its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (236 hp and 267 lb-ft, or 248 hp and 273 lb-ft on 93 octane gas). This engine pairs exclusively with front-wheel drive. Feature highlights for each trim include:

5/5 stars, Underrated car

Michael, 10/16/2019

2.5 SL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Our 2020 Altima SL is simply a fantastic car. Most comfortable seats I've experienced ever. Built well, with no squeaks and rattles. Quiet and composed ride over smooth and rough surfaces. Amazing tech (especially the semi-auto on the highway) with big screen and super easy to use interface. And a smooth, refined engine even when accelerating spiritedly that is getting me 35mpg on my …

5/5 stars, 2020 Nissan Altima SV AWD

StPeteBeach4Winter55 , 02/02/2020

2.5 SV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

This is our 3rd Altima & 6th Nissan. We never buy the 1st model year following a complete new generation. We traded our ' 14 Altima SV with 47Kmi for the new Altima. Love the updates both tech and body style. We opted for the optional wheel upgrade and the convenience pkg. The AWD was a easy decision as our other daily driver is our '19 Rogue SV AWD with the mnrf & wheel pkg. Its our 1st … Rogue so we leased it but purchased our Altima as its our 3rd in a row. Had 2 Maximas before the Altimas. I must say the new Altima w/ AWD is Nissan's best sedan option. We considered the SR AWD trim pkg but the SV AWD has the best features with the convenience pkg. Best ride, very spirited acceleration and great handling. The Altima is under-rated as its the most comfortable car we have owned and we've had Infiniti's, Saab's, Volvo's, Honda's and a Toyota Tacoma. Plus a few GM products. We leased for years but after our 1st Altima lease in 2011 we've purchased the last 2 as they're the best sedan available. AWD may be new to the Altima but Nissan's premium brand Infiniti has been selling AWD sedans for years with zero issues, so we have no concerns with the Altima's drivetrain. Once you get use to the new exterior styling that allows the Maxima, Altima, new 2020 Sentra, & Versa sedan all share similar attributes. Nissan enlarged the 2020 Sentra much like Honda did with their Civic, but Toyota didn't enlarge the new Corolla which will hurt it. The 2020 Sentra is similar in size to the 2011 Altima and especially the 1st & 2nd generation Altima. I expect now that we are both retired and spending our winters in FL, we will keep our Altima in FL, but the drive down last month allows me to also share the new Altima is a GREAT road trip car just like the last generation '13-18 Altima having the most comfortable front seats. I know your thinking why buy the AWD version if you're keeping your Altima in FL? Have you ever driven on the interstate during a FL down pour, well we have many times and it provides added piece of mind knowing that all 4 tires with stability control turned on will help keep our Altima headed safely in the correct direction when experiencing hydroplaning. Plus I ordered AWD just in case we decide to drive back to NY in mid-December for the holidays rather than flying. Go for a test drive if you're in the market for a family sedan. Other than the Subaru Legacy, the Accord, Camry, Sonata & Optima don't offer AWD. Plus both our previous '14 & new '20 Altima get better mpg than our neighbors '12 Civic & '17 Elantra including AWD. Make sure to test drive the SV trim pkg Altima as its the volume leading pkg but the 2.5S trim, now the base model is every bit as comfortable as the other trim levels. We always get the middle trim pkg on all our vehicles as we appreciate the extra features but we don't need the SL Platinum pkg besides the SV pkg provides heated seats and you can add a heated steering wheel if desired. We didn't opt for the heated steering wheel but the heated seats are a must have and standard remote start with standard climate control allows me to set the temperature at 70 year around. In the winter it warms up & summer it cools down, all standard with the SV trim. Add the convenience pkg if you want the extras w/o having to put up with leather seats in the summer. Never again. Our 2011 Altima had the SL trim as it was a dealer demo and we got it for less than the SV trim w/convenience pkg. Our Maximas each had cloth. Hoping that AWD will be an option on the Maxima as it would be nice to have another one someday, and maybe a 2.0T will replace the 6cyl as the Altima no longer has the optional 6cyl, but rather a turbo 4cyl. Enjoy your test drive and remember the only other AWD sedan that's not in the $35K+ starting MSRP is the Subaru Legacy and although its a new generation for 22020,the Altima has much more updated styling inside and out. The only complaint I have which may be age related is our Altima doesn't have a CD player but our '19 Rogue does and so does the 2020 Rogue. Check out the next generation Rogue via google. You may want to grab a leftover ' 19 or a '20. It may be like the new Altima was for me, it took about a year to grow on me and now I love the Altima. The new Honda Accord did the opposite. At 1st it was attention grabbing but after a few months I grew to really not care for it. The '93-'97 generation Accord is why we became Nissan customers buying a ' 95 Maxima our 1st Nissan.

5/5 stars, My 2020 Altima

Mrs Thomas, 12/08/2019

2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I recently purchased my 2020 Nissan Altima, November 22, 2019. I have to say i am in love with my car. I love how push button start is a standard feature. The CVT transmission gives me great fuel economy & i gives me an exceptional smoothing ride. I literally do not feel the gears shift because it’s continuously variable. Also, i love the redesign V shape grille starting in 2019. That is …

5/5 stars, Altima...the Ultimate!

Kathy Vinson , 03/26/2021

2.5 SV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Nissan Altimas are very reliable vehicles. I just purchased my 8th one. You get the luxury of the Maxima, but at half the cost.

Nissan Altima vs. Toyota Camry

The Altima and the Camry are extremely close competitors in several categories. They both offer similar value, fuel economy and ease of use when it comes to in-cabin tech. The Camry, however, edges out the Altima with its higher-quality interior and superior outward visibility. You can also get the Camry as a hybrid, something Nissan doesn't offer. Read Edmunds' long-term test of the Toyota Camry.

Nissan Altima vs. Honda Accord

The Honda Accord is one of our favorite midsize sedans. It offers engines that are both fuel-efficient and powerful, and it's well-built with excellent cabin materials. It's also roomy and more enjoyable to drive than the Altima. While the Accord doesn't offer all-wheel drive like the Altima does, it's not enough to deter us from recommending the Accord instead. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda Accord.

Nissan Altima vs. Kia K5

Comfortable, refined and stylish, the Kia K5 is Edmunds' top-ranked midsize sedan. The K5's muscular bodywork stands out more than the Altima's more subdued look, and the Kia backs it up with an engaging driving experience. Both cars offer an optional turbocharged engine, but the K5's makes considerably more power. A longer warranty is another reason to consider the K5 instead of the Altima.

Should I lease or buy a 2023 Nissan Altima?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
