Used 2025 Nissan Altima for Sale nearHawkesbury, ON

How much does the 2025 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 29.93% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 90 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.

It stands out because it still gives you a traditional midsize-sedan experience with standard all-wheel drive in Canada, a comfortable cabin, and easy-to-use technology. The design is also more distinctive than the average family sedan, which helps it feel a little less anonymous in a shrinking segment.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, the interior materials feel cheap, and the technology is outdated. Even so, if you want a straightforward sedan with AWD confidence and a competitive trim walk, it fits that use case well.

32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The 2025 Altima’s appeal is rooted in familiar, low-drama ownership traits: it is comfortable, straightforward, and built around a proven 2.5-litre four-cylinder with standard AWD and a CVT. The engine provides decent acceleration, the transmission rarely irritates, and the car is quieter than expected.

Nissan also positions the Altima as an easy daily driver, and the available safety and convenience equipment supports that role. If you value simple operation and predictable behaviour, that works in its favour.

If you buy used, the main long-term risk is that its dated cabin, modest performance, and fading market position may make it less satisfying over time than newer rivals.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Canadian lineup includes S, SR, SR Premium, and Platinum trim levels. The base S and SR use the simpler 8-inch touchscreen setup, while SR Premium adds the better infotainment system and more upscale cabin equipment. If you want the most complete feature set, the higher trims are the ones to target.
• Powertrain: Every Canadian Altima uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with standard AWD and a CVT. It makes 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, and the car is tuned more for calm commuting than excitement.
• Safety package: 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 adds ProPilot Assist 1.0, and Platinum adds a surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: The standard system has an 8-inch touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. SR Premium and Platinum get 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. You still get the full Safety Shield 360 suite and the basic infotainment setup, so it covers the essentials well.
• SR: Choose this if you want a slightly sportier look and feel, plus 19-inch wheels, sport-bolstered front seats, and a wireless charging pad. It adds some style, but the cabin tech remains the simpler version.
• SR Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the better 12.3-inch infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect services, navigation, and ProPilot Assist 1.0. It also gets the nine-speaker Bose audio system.
• Platinum: Pick this if you want the most fully equipped Altima, including the 12.3-inch display, Bose audio, ProPilot Assist 1.0, and the surround-view camera system.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every trim, while ProPilot Assist 1.0 is reserved for SR Premium and Platinum.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 90 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 29.93% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $25,417 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 $25,510 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,405 CAD.

That 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 own one for several years, the current pricing trend means you should expect resale values to remain sensitive to market demand and segment competition.

The Altima’s standard AWD and strong owner satisfaction help support interest, but its dated cabin and fading market position may keep resale pressure on the model.

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 five-star ratings from NHTSA, including a rare five-star rollover resistance rating. It gets 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, and it includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. SR Premium adds ProPilot Assist 1.0 with adaptive cruise control, stop-and-go capability, and lane-centring assist, while Platinum adds a surround-view camera system.

The main caveat is that the IIHS results are weak, so if crash-test performance is a top priority, you should weigh that carefully against the Altima’s standard safety equipment.

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:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 29.93% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Nissan adds the SR Premium trim to strengthen the lineup.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $27,033 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $25,510 CAD average.
• It offers practical value with standard AWD and strong standard safety tech.

The bottom line: The 2025 is the better path if you want the newest version with softer pricing and the added SR Premium trim. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2024 can still make sense, but the 2025’s lower average price gives you a stronger starting point for negotiation.
