2025 Nissan Altima Review: Solid Sedan Does Enough But No More

Nissan's affordable Altima isn't going to win any races, nor compete on luxury, but drivers on a budget may find something to smile about nonetheless.

The 2025 Nissan Altima, as reviewed by MSN Autos, continues to offer a reliable and comfortable sedan experience without pushing boundaries in design or performance. It features a refreshed exterior with a new grille and updated lighting, but retains the same engine options: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a turbocharged 2.0-liter, with no significant power upgrades. The interior sees minor enhancements with better materials and a new infotainment system, yet it remains largely unchanged in terms of space and comfort. The Altima provides a smooth ride, decent fuel efficiency, and standard safety features, making it a practical choice for those seeking a straightforward, no-frills sedan. However, it lacks the excitement or innovation that might attract buyers looking for something more dynamic or technologically advanced in the competitive midsize sedan market.
