Used 2025 Nissan Altima for Sale nearCambridge, ON

How much does the 2025 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 30.20% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 91 listings available, which suggests you have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Nissan Altima earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 8/10.

The Altima’s appeal is rooted in its traditional midsize-sedan formula: standard all-wheel drive in Canada, comfortable front seats, a competitively priced trim walk, and easy-to-use technology. It is a practical choice if you want a straightforward sedan rather than a crossover, especially when you value all-weather confidence and a familiar driving position.

The trade-offs are clear, though. The performance is fairly pedestrian, the interior materials feel cheap, and the technology is outdated. Even so, the model’s stylish design and comfortable character help it make a case for itself in a shrinking sedan market.

33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance of finding a strong value.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The Altima is presented as a straightforward, dependable daily driver rather than a complicated one. Its 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and CVT are described as doing their job without drama, and the car is noted for being quieter than expected. That kind of unremarkable operation can be a positive for used buyers who want a sedan that simply gets on with the commute.

The ownership picture is helped by the fact that Nissan positions it as an affordable midsize option with standard AWD in Canada. If you want a used sedan that avoids unnecessary complexity, this one fits that brief well.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Nissan Altima?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S, SR, SR Premium, and Platinum trims each add meaningful equipment, but the base S misses some worthwhile upgrades. The SR Premium is the one to target if you want the better infotainment system and the strongest overall feature set, while the Platinum adds the surround-view camera system.
• Powertrain: Every Canadian Altima uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with standard AWD and a CVT. It is tuned for calm, everyday driving rather than excitement, and fuel economy is respectable for the class.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. ProPilot Assist 1.0 is reserved for SR Premium, and the Platinum adds a surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: The S and SR use an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. SR Premium and Platinum upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect services, and navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The Altima AWD should burn 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres in S trim and 8.4 L/100 km in other trims in combined driving.

Which 2025 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2025 Nissan Altima is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SR, SR Premium, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and standard AWD, but you should expect the simplest infotainment setup and fewer comfort upgrades.
• SR: This trim adds a sportier look and feel, including 19-inch wheels and sport-bolstered front seats. It suits you if you want a little more style without moving too far up the price ladder.
• SR Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it brings the better 12.3-inch infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect services, navigation, the nine-speaker Bose audio system, and ProPilot Assist 1.0.
• Platinum: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped Altima, including the surround-view camera system and the same upgraded infotainment and audio hardware as SR Premium.

The SR Premium is the trim that most clearly balances features and value, while the safety-tech package is strongest there and on the Platinum.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Nissan Altima?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 91 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 30.20% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $25,403 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $25,412 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,405 CAD.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside for a future seller. If you buy at the current average, you are entering at a much lower point than last year’s market, which reduces the cushion for resale gains later.

For a seller, the key takeaway is that the Altima’s value is being shaped by a shrinking sedan market and strong competition from crossovers and hybrid rivals. A well-kept example with desirable equipment should still attract interest, but the broader trend points to softer resale than a year ago.

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 2025 Nissan Altima safe?

The 2025 Nissan Altima earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, including a rare five-star rollover resistance rating. It earns a Poor rating in updated side impact protection and front crash prevention evaluations, and a Marginal rating in an updated moderate offset frontal-impact test.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Altima, with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. SR Premium is the trim that unlocks ProPilot Assist 1.0, which adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and lane-centring assist, while Platinum adds a surround-view camera system.

The main caveat is that the Altima’s updated IIHS results are not as strong as its NHTSA scores suggest. That makes the standard safety equipment useful, but it also means you should weigh the crash-test shortfalls carefully if safety is your top priority.

Should I buy a 2025 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 30.20% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Nissan adds the SR Premium trim to strengthen the lineup and improve the tech story.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $27,121 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $25,412 CAD average.
• It offers practical sedan value with standard AWD and strong standard safety tech.

The bottom line: If you want the better buy today, the 2025 is the stronger path because pricing has moved down and the lineup now includes a more compelling SR Premium trim. If you are shopping strictly on price and find a well-equipped 2024 at a meaningful discount, that can still make sense, but the 2025 is the more attractive starting point overall.
