What Nissan Altima do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume model years tend to attract more shoppers because they usually offer a wider selection of trims, colours, and price points. That makes it easier to compare options and find a used Altima that fits your budget and equipment needs.

What is the Nissan Altima's resale value?

Most Altima model years are down year over year, and several have posted double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favour as a used buyer because it opens up more affordable choices across a broad spread of model years. The smallest declines are concentrated among the older and some mid-cycle years, while the newest model year shows the steepest drop.

The 2015, 2022, and 2017 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?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −30.2% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −13.98%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 31%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,121 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. They include ProPilot Assist 1.0, which pairs an adaptive cruise control system with stop-and-go capability and a lane-centring assist 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.
