The Nissan Altima carries over with minimal changes for 2025.
The Nissan Altima is a mid-sized sedan competing in what could be the most crowded and difficult segment in America. Its competitors include the venerable Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. The Altima could even make sense for people cross shopping compact cars who are worried about having enough interior space, or who want the better ride quality that comes with a longer wheelbase. However, potential owners who want luxury features without paying luxury car prices, may also find what they're looking for among the higher trim levels of the Altima, particularly since their driver assistance technologies are somewhat unprecedented in this price bracket.
