Nissan Altima Sedan in more detail

More detailed context

What stands out

With a 5-star safety rating and a reliability score of 78, the Nissan Altima Sedan emphasizes assurance and consistency. Its 190 hp and 244 Nm deliver a quick 0–100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, while FWD keeps the formula straightforward and approachable.

Daily use

As a five-seat sedan aimed at compact-family duties, it balances pace and practicality. The ride is geared toward simple, predictable use, and its performance makes commuting and highway merges stress-free.

Practicality and costs

At $24,800, it represents good value in its segment. The 427 L trunk handles everyday needs but isn’t ideal for cargo-heavy trips, and the 8.4 combined consumption is adequate rather than standout for efficiency.
