2025 Nissan Altima

The 2025 Nissan Altima is available in 4 trims: S, SV, SR, and SL. The base S trim features 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers and LED headlights with signature LED Daytime Running Lights. Moving up to the SV brings 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels while maintaining the LED lighting system. The SR trim adds sportier elements with 19-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels, a sport-design front fascia featuring a dark chrome V-motion grille, LED fog lights, and an aerodynamic profile with a seamless muscular hood. The range-topping SL trim includes LED fog lights, chrome door handles, window surrounds, and a power sliding glass moonroof.

The 2.5-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) 4-cylinder engine powers all Altima trims, generating 188 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 180 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is available on SV, SR, and SL trims. The system continuously monitors road conditions and adjusts power distribution instantly. The Xtronic CVT transmission with manual mode helps the front-wheel-drive models deliver impressive fuel efficiency ratings of 28 city and 39 highway MPG, surpassing competitors like the 2025 Kia K5 LXS FWD's 31 combined MPG.

The 2.5L front-wheel-drive Altima accelerates from 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds. Active Ride Control automatically applies brakes and adjusts engine torque to smooth out the ride, while Intelligent Trace Control optimizes cornering by engaging inner or outer brakes. Hill Start Assist prevents rollback on inclines by maintaining brake pressure for up to two seconds. The SR trim features a sport-tuned suspension for enhanced handling response. All models include an Electronic Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold and an independent rear suspension with monotube rear shocks, balancing responsive handling with ride comfort.

An 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and voice recognition comes standard across all trims. The 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display shows vehicle information, turn-by-turn navigation, caller ID, and safety alerts. S and SV trims feature cloth seating, while the SR adds sport cloth seats with synthetic leather inserts. The SL offers leather-appointed seats and heated front seats with a heated steering wheel. Dual-zone automatic temperature control is included on SV, SR, and SL trims. The 15.4 cubic feet trunk space expands through 60/40 split fold-down rear seats. SV and higher trims receive matte chrome interior door handles and center console accents.

The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite comes standard on all trims, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking. The SL trim adds an Intelligent Around View Monitor providing a 360-degree bird's-eye view. Traffic Sign Recognition is available on SV, SR, and SL trims. ProPILOT Assist on SV, SR, and SL models combines Intelligent Cruise Control with Steering Assist to maintain speed, following distance, and lane centering.
