The 2023 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.

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.
Edmunds Expert Rating

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr
Average
7.5
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Nissan Altima on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
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
8/10
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
7/10
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.
2023 Nissan Altima trim level differences
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: Compare the 2023 Nissan Altima trim levels in-depth.
Which Altima trim 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.

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.

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.
As good as my last 2020 Altima
5 out of 5 starsHank 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 … easier. Gas mileage is fantastic from the standard 4 cylinder front wheel drive combo, with plenty of power to cruise at high speeds. I highly recommend this auto to anyone who enjoys the sleek design and great handling of this auto.
