The 2026 Nissan Altima, the mid-size sedan's seventh generation, boasts a sleek design and advanced in-car technology. It offers two engine options: a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 182 horsepower and a VC-Turbo 2.0L 249-hp inline-4 that adjusts its compression ratio for improved efficiency and power. Both engines pair with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and are available in FWD and AWD configurations. Available in five trims—S, SR, SV, SL, and Platinum—the Altima packs features like an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and NissanConnect services. Key safety technologies include ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, and a suite of ten airbags.
