The 2025 Nissan Altima offers these trims:

What Nissan Altima do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Altima years with the most listings are 2024, 2016, and 2015.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a wider selection and often sit in the sweet spot between price, features, and availability. That makes them easier to compare and more likely to produce a good match for your budget.

What is the Nissan Altima's resale value?

Most Altima model years have dropped in price over the past year, and several have seen double-digit declines. That pattern is favourable for used buyers because it creates more room to find value across a broad spread of model years. A few years have fallen less sharply than the rest, which suggests some trims and model years are retaining value a bit better than others.

The 2015, 2022, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Nissan Altima safe?

• 2025: 5/10

• 2022: 9/10
• 2021: 9/10
• 2020: 8/10

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Altima.

For the safest used buy, the 2021 and 2022 models both post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

Should I buy a used Nissan Altima now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −29.93% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −13.97%.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,033 CAD. The Nissan Altima offers a comfortable, practical cabin with broad everyday appeal.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Nissan equips every 2025 Altima sold in Canada with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and standard AWD, generating 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, and 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.
• Tech: The standard setup has an 8-inch touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo, while the Altima SR Premium and Platinum get a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect services, and a navigation system.
• Safety: Choosing the SR Premium trim level is also your ticket to the best safety features available for the Altima, including ProPilot Assist 1.0 and a surround-view camera system.
• Starting price: At its base price, the 2025 Altima is the most affordable midsize car on the rapidly dwindling market.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
