There’s no beating the 2024 Nissan Altima when shopping for a midsize sedan, thanks to its superb performance, great fuel economy, and state-of-the-art technology. The Altima is available in five trim levels, each catering to a different type of driver. We give you the low-down on each trim’s unique features to help you decide which model is perfect for your needs.

1. Altima S

Powering the base-level Altima S is a 2.5-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine delivering 188 horsepower and an impressive EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. This power is complemented by the S’s sleek exterior, featuring LED projector headlights with signature daytime running lights, black side mirrors, and 16-inch steel wheels.

Inside, drivers receive a manual six-way adjustable seat and have important information relayed via a five-inch multi-function display. The infotainment system consists of a seven-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker audio system. Nissan has equipped the S with several handy driver assist functions, including remote keyless entry and engine start, cruise control, auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a rearview camera, and blind spot monitoring.

2. Altima SV

Building on the S, the Altima SV swaps out the tires for 17-inch machine-finished aluminum alloy wheels. The biggest changes can be seen inside, with piano black interior finishes for a more refined appearance and an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat for improved comfort. Nissan also upgrades the tech, introducing a seven-inch information display and an eight-inch multitouch control infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

3. Altima SR

Nissan designed the Altima SR as a more sporty model, giving it special design elements, a dual-chrome exhaust, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, sports cloth seating, and 19-inch machine-finished wheels.

4. Altima SL

The Altima SL improves the SV by building on comfort, with a power-sliding glass moonroof and dual-zone automatic climate control. Drivers receive a heated steering wheel and seat while front passenger comfort is improved thanks to a four-way power-adjustable heated seat.

Nissan makes another infotainment upgrade, introducing a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charger, and a Bose nine-speaker audio system. Additional driver-assist features include a 360-degree camera and rear automatic braking.

5. Altima SR VC-Turbo

Heading the lineup is the Altima SR VC-Turbo which combines the sporty features of the SR with the luxury extras of the SL. This trim also receives a power boost from a 2.0-liter variable compression turbo engine, producing 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque for a more athletic ride.
