Overview

The Nissan Altima has always been a good seller in the midsize sedan segment. After a minor refresh and some equipment updates just last year, the 2024 Altima comes with no considerable changes. However, it does get NissanConnect Services for an extended free term of three years instead of the previous six months. The Nissan Altima 2024 aims to lead in sales with its decent gas mileage, practicality, and low cost of ownership.

The MSRP of the 2024 Nissan Altima starts at $25,730, and at that price, it surely joins the list of upcoming Nissan cars to buy in 2024. Though it is among the affordable sedans in the U.S. that start below the $30K mark in 2024, Nissan is all set to discontinue the Altima alongside the compact Versa after 2026. Despite the mediocre 0-60 time, there are some of the fastest Altima models to consider. Check out the video by Ben Hardy to learn more about the Altima 2024.

Buying Advice

Considering the pricing-to-spec ratio, the 2024 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR stands out among other trims. It features sportier styling and a firmer suspension setup for better handling. Also, the good thing is that the SR trim can be availed of with AWD for an additional $1500.

Some desirable features on offer are a power-adjustable driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital gauge cluster, sport cloth seat trim, and an 8-inch touchscreen display, to name a few.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The Nissan Altima has stood well against rivals like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Hyundai Sonata. The Altima is not the perfect sedan in any way, but it offers what matters most in the midsize sedan segment. The 2024 Nissan Altima images might show everything in good light, but things aren't all rosy. Say, for example, that the 2024 Nissan Altima interior lacks quality when compared to its rivals. Nissan does not even offer a hybrid powertrain, which many of its rivals like the Camry and Accord offer

The 2024 Nissan Altima is offered in S, SV, SR, SL, and SR VC-Turbo. The prices of the mentioned trims are $25,730, $26,530, $27,930, $32,430, and $35,430, respectively. However, an additional destination fee of $1,115 is levied across all the trims. The 2024 Nissan Altima specs are decent, with two powertrain options. The first four trims get access to the 2.5-liter inline-four engine, making 188 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque. The top-tier VC-Turbo trim gets a 2.0-liter variable-compression turbo engine with 236 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque.

Opting for premium gas results in a better power output of 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is mated to a CVT, which brings down the overall driving experience. The Altima's 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds with the base powertrain and 5.9 seconds with the VC-Turbo engine With a gas mileage of 27 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined, the 2024 Altima's mpg ratings somewhat compensate for the lack of performance.

With a cargo space of 15.4 cubic feet, most of your luggage is taken care of. The 2024 Nissan Altima scored an overall 80/100 in the J.D. Power Consumer Rating, which can be termed average. For reliability and resale, it scored 80/100 and 79/100, respectively. It scored 79/100 and 82/100 for driving and dealership experience, respectively. Stay tuned for a complete review.
