The Nissan Altima years with the most listings are 2024, 2016, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a strong mix of availability, familiar equipment, and pricing that fits a wide range of budgets. More listings also give you more choice when comparing condition, mileage, and deal quality.

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 good news if you are shopping used, because it creates more room to find value across a wide spread of model years. A few years have fallen less sharply, which suggests some versions are retaining value better than others.

The 2017, 2018, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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

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 lane-centring assist system, while the Altima Platinum also has 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.
