Are Nissan Altima models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Altima as comfortable, efficient, and easy to live with, and the expert reviews echo that it delivers a smooth, practical driving experience. The strongest themes across the data are everyday comfort, good fuel economy, and a well-equipped feel.

• Owners rate the Nissan Altima between 3.83 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is shaped by the model’s uneven repair record and the CVT concerns noted by owners, so a careful pre-purchase inspection is especially worthwhile.

Which Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2025 Nissan Altima offers these trims:

• S: The entry trim includes the standard 8-inch touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, a six-speaker stereo, and Nissan Safety Shield 360; it suits buyers who want the most affordable way into the lineup.
• SR: This trim adds 19-inch wheels, sport-bolstered front seats, and a wireless charging pad, making it a good fit if you want a sportier look and feel without moving up the range.

What Nissan Altima do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Altima years with the most listings are 2016, 2024, and 2017.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and lower used-car pricing.

What is the Nissan Altima's resale value?

Most Altima model years are showing year-over-year price declines, and several of them are dropping by double digits. That creates opportunities for used buyers, especially if you are shopping newer examples that have already moved down from their earlier pricing. The smaller changes on the older model years suggest those cars are moving more gradually in price.

The 2015, 2017, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Nissan Altima safe?

• 2025: 5/10

• 2023: 7/10
• 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?

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 SR Premium and Platinum add a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, NissanConnect services, and navigation.

If you're buying used today, the 2016 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.
