Why it stands out

The 2017 Nissan Altima stands out as a comfortable, well-equipped midsize sedan that leans more towards quiet, easygoing transportation than outright excitement. It wears a sleek, sporty-looking shape and, in Canada, comes with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine making 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is standard in Canada, which gives it an advantage in a class where some rivals do not offer it at all.

Its appeal is also rooted in equipment and safety. All trims include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, rear automatic braking, lane-departure warning, radar-based blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and high-beam assist. ProPILOT Assist is standard on all but the base S trim in Canada, and the Altima earned IIHS “Top Safety Pick” ratings in 2019 and 2020, followed by “Top Safety Pick+” ratings from 2021 to 2023. The cabin also brings a touchscreen with physical knobs and buttons, Bluetooth, USB ports, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, with wireless versions requiring an upgrade.

For buyers, the 2017 Nissan Altima offers a lot of car for the money, with good fuel economy and a long list of standard features. It is not perfect: the CVT dulls the driving experience, adaptive cruise control is optional rather than standard, and resale values are only so-so. Even so, its mix of comfort, safety technology, all-wheel drive, and value makes it a strong choice for shoppers who want a practical sedan with a polished feel.
