Our Expert's Take

By Cars.com Editors

The 2025 Nissan Altima is a mid-size sedan offering front- or all-wheel drive and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with up to 188 horsepower. It provides good value with a full suite of safety tech and respectable EPA-estimated gas mileage. While it features up-to-date interior technology, it was last fully redesigned for 2019 and is showing its age against class rivals like the Toyota Camry. Read full review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2025 Nissan Altima?

The five-seat Altima is Nissan’s mid-size sedan. Its sole engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that’s paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It makes 188 horsepower with front-wheel drive and 182 hp with all-wheel drive. The Altima competes with the Chevrolet Malibu, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 and Toyota Camry.

What’s New on the 2025 Nissan Altima?

For 2025, the Altima loses its previously available 248-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine but adds a Special Edition Package for the SV trim that brings exterior and interior styling tweaks and a few tech upgrades. 

What Features in the 2025 Nissan Altima Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Fabric upholstery
  • 16-inch steel wheels
  • 60/40-split folding backseat
  • Remote start 
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Forward collision warning 
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Blind spot warning
  • Lane departure warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Wireless phone charging
  • Satellite radio
  • Bose premium stereo
  • 360-degree camera system
  • ProPilot Assist adaptive cruise control with lane-tracing steering

Should I Buy the 2025 Nissan Altima?

The Altima is a good value, with a full suite of safety tech. Available AWD is a plus, as is the car’s respectable EPA-estimated gas mileage. The Altima saw its last full redesign for the 2019 model year, and even with a freshening for 2023, it’s showing its age against the newer designs of most class rivals.

    I've owned 7 total with 0 issues.

    I've owned 7 total with 0 issues. The cvt is quick and responsive. The exhaust has a nice tone to it. Seats are comfortable I've owned German luxury cars and I prefer the Altima seats. I love my car.

    Surprising power on the highway.

    Surprising power on the highway. Great gas mileage. Very roomy interior, and the dash and radio buttons and components are very easy to see and use. We chose this over an Accord, initially because the local Honda dealer is crazy, but we like everything about it.

    I just purchased my third Nissan Altima.

    I just purchased my third Nissan Altima. It's the best vehicle I have ever owned. After many years of owning this model vehicle, I have NEVER had one breakdown or problem with the vehicle. It is a very durable and dependable car. The Altima is comfortable to drive, and service at Nissan dealerships is always excellent.
