2023 Nissan Altima Review

Achieve the best of both worlds with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. While the standard Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) cruises the roads with ease, the AWD capabilities provide an added layer of protection against road conditions. Extra traction means extra safety.

The standard Altima engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine capable of 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. These capacities provide smooth driving and handling, and they allow for excellent pickup when you need it most.

This is thanks in part to the technology of the standard Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). Acting as the cherry on top of an already great engine, the Altima attains an EPA-estimated 27 city/39 highway MPG.* You're free to take the reins with confidence, whether you're waiting in rush-hour traffic or heading out for a night on the town.

From the moment you open the doors to the Altima, you're given an experience only Nissan could provide. The refined interior design is coated in carbon-fiber finishes or an available wood-tone trim to provide a premium feel. At the same time, the convenience of the available heated front seats and optional Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control keeps you cozy.

In the back, you'll find generous trunk space. Pack groceries, luggage, and any camping gear you need to take with you. If you need more room to include the things you're transporting, the standard 60/40-split fold-down rear seatbacks will provide additional room for cargo space. Dream big with the Altima.

Best of all, you're always going to have room to stretch out. The 39.1 inches of front headroom space and 43.8 inches of front legroom are ideal for any long drive.

Baked into the engineering of the Altima is a comprehensive set of advanced safety and driver-assist features. Safety Shield 360® provides an array of safety technologies meant to keep your protection in mind with each bend, curve, and path you're on. It includes standard and available features like:

• Lane Departure Warning: Stay in your lane with the assistance of sensors designed to alert you when you stray outside the lines.
• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: When needed, the brakes will automatically engage to help avoid or lessen a frontal collision's impact.
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert: An extra set of eyes watches the rear of your Altima to warn you of the presence of any cars on either side of you.

The next-generation technologies continue into the cabin. The Altima comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen display, and you can choose to upgrade to the NissanConnect® 8-inch or even a 12.3-inch display with multi-touch control for additional convenience features.

One such available connectivity feature is Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, smartphone integration features that allow you to access your music, phone calls, and texts hands-free!
