2024 Nissan Altima Changes
The 2024 Nissan Altima receives very few changes following last year’s mid-generation refresh.
Choosing Your 2024 Nissan Altima
The 2024 Altima sedan is offered in four trims: S, SV, SR, and SL, and prices range from $26,825 to $33,525.
2024 Nissan Altima Engine Options
The 2024 Nissan Altima offers two very different four-cylinder engines. The standard 2.5-liter engine generates 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque and routes that power through a continuously variable transmission down to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is offered for $1,500 and is capable of sending 50% of the power rearward.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine featured in the SR trim is a technological marvel that aims to expand the power and efficiency envelope through a variable displacement design. It achieves peak ratings of 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque and is only partnered with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
2024 Nissan Altima Fuel Economy
The most popular trims return an EPA-estimated 31 miles per gallon combined while, impressively, the all-wheel-drive model only requires a sacrifice of one MPG point - better than the Toyota Camry’s three MPG-point hit.
Even more impressive is the turbocharged engine’s EPA-estimated return of 29 MPG combined. That is worth about $250 in annual fuel savings over the Camry V6, according to the government.
Where the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord offer very efficient hybrid powertrains, the Altima continues to go without.
2024 Nissan Altima Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
The 2024 Altima measures 193 inches in length which essentially matches its class-leading competitors. However, its 35.2 inches of rear seat legroom measures significantly less than the class leaders and its 15.4-cubic foot trunk volume is nearly on par for the segment.
2024 Nissan Altima Safety
The 2024 Nissan Altima is very well equipped with active safety tech such as automatic braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors with automatic braking, and high beam assist. The SV trim offers adaptive cruise control and lane centering which becomes standard on the SR with the upgraded engine selected and the SL trims.
The 2024 Altima hasn’t yet been rated, however, the similarly designed model from 2022 was an IIHS 2022 Top Safety Pick+.
2024 Nissan Altima Technology
The 2024 Nissan Altima starts off with a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen with an entry-level list of connectivity. The SV trim receives a larger touchscreen (eight inches) and importantly gains Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, and three additional USB ports.
The available 12.3-inch touchscreen (standard on the most expensive trims) additionally incorporates navigation and remote connected services (now with a three-year trial period), as well as a wireless charging pad and a nine-speaker Bose sound system.
