Used 2023 Nissan Altima for Sale nearGloucester, ON

How much does the 2023 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 13.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 80 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for shoppers to compare.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Nissan Altima earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its impressive fuel economy, responsive driving experience, and quality audio system. It also stands out as a practical value with standard all-wheel drive and a strong set of standard features, which suits you well if you want a traditional family sedan rather than an SUV.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, and the interior materials feel cheap. Even so, if you prioritise comfort, efficiency, and everyday usability, the Altima fits that brief well.

The market also shows 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, cost-effective car that many drivers feel good about living with over time. The user summary also highlights its impressive fuel economy and responsive driving experience, which supports the impression of a trouble-free daily driver.

From an expert perspective, Nissan’s CVT is described as a good one, and the brand has been building these transmissions for decades. That said, used buyers should still pay attention to service history and overall wear, since long-term ownership risk is always higher when you’re buying a pre-owned vehicle.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Nissan Altima?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Canadian lineup includes S, SR trim, SR Premium, and Platinum. The base setup is strong on value, while higher trims add more visual presence and equipment; the Platinum also adds a surround-view camera system.
• Powertrain: Every Canadian Altima uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with a CVT and standard AWD. The engine is described as adequate, and the CVT is tuned to feel more like a traditional automatic.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver monitoring system, rear-seat reminder, Easy Fill Tire Alert, rear automatic braking, and automatic high-beam headlights. ProPilot Assist is standard on SR Premium and Platinum and adds adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centring assist.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment is an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L. The available 12.3-inch touchscreen on SR Premium and Platinum adds wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, navigation, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Fuel efficiency: Official Natural Resources Canada fuel economy ratings are 9.1 L/100 km city, 6.5 L/100 km highway, and 7.9 L/100 km combined for the base trim, or 9.3 L/100 km city, 6.7 L/100 km highway, and 8.1 L/100 km combined for SR, SR Premium, and Platinum.

Which 2023 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2023 Nissan Altima is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SR trim, SR Premium, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the value play if you want the Altima’s core appeal at the lowest entry point. You still get standard AWD, the full Safety Shield 360 suite, and the 8-inch touchscreen with wired smartphone integration.
• SR trim: This trim adds a sportier look and is the step up if you want more visual presence without jumping too far in price. It suits you if you want a little more style while keeping the Altima’s practical strengths.
• SR Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, Bose audio, paddle shifters, and ProPilot Assist.
• Platinum: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped Altima, including the larger touchscreen, Bose audio, ProPilot Assist, and the surround-view camera system.

For safety-focused shoppers, ProPilot Assist is included only on SR Premium and Platinum.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Nissan Altima?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 80 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.70% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $22,736 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $23,141 CAD sits slightly below last year's $26,816 CAD.

That price decline suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face softer resale conditions than owners saw a year ago. If you buy now, you’re entering at a lower average price point, which can help reduce depreciation pressure later. The Altima’s practical appeal and standard AWD should help it remain relevant, but resale will still depend on condition, mileage, and trim.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima safe?

The 2023 Altima earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a five-star rollover resistance rating, though it receives a four-star rating for front passenger frontal impact safety. It also earns a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS, but the updated IIHS side-impact test gives it a Poor rating.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every version and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver monitoring system, rear automatic braking, automatic high-beam headlights, a rear-seat reminder, and Easy Fill Tire Alert. ProPilot Assist is included on SR Premium and Platinum, adding adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centring assist.

The main caveat is the Poor IIHS side-impact result, so if safety is a top priority, you should pay close attention to trim, equipment, and how the car fits your needs.

Should I buy a 2023 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.70% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines standard AWD, strong value, and a full suite of standard safety tech.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,334 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $23,141 CAD average.
• It offers standard AWD and a simpler three-trim lineup.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $25,853 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $23,141 CAD average.
• It adds an upgraded touchscreen display on higher trims.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, standard equipment, and market availability, the 2023 is the strongest all-around pick. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2022 is worth a look; if you want the newer-year feel and can spend more, the 2024 is the alternative.
