The 2023 Nissan Altima has been designed to enhance the driving experience and bring joy to its users. The car features both aesthetic and innovative upgrades that build upon the most popular aspects of the model, while still remaining true to its rich heritage in the region that spans several decades.
This new vehicle is offered in four well-equipped grades – S, Sport, SV and SL. It is worth noting, the 2023 Nissan Altima is available with a choice of two engines.
The Sport trim level stands out with a distinctive black-chrome finish and a special grille, as well as unique SR emblems that can be found on the 19” alloy wheels. Other notable exterior elements include LED projector headlights, which now come standard and include integrated turn signals within the daytime running lights, as well as a recognizable tail-light design and an optional power sliding glass moonroof.
For the Sport grade, a new exterior color – Ethos Grey – has been added exclusively. It joins the previously available palette of Scarlet Ember Tintcoat (premium color), Brilliant Silver Metallic, Grey Sky Pearl, Super Black, Red Burgandy, Pearl White TriCoat, Glacier White, and Deep Blue Pearl.
The Altima also sees additions to its existing wheel and tire size combinations, with a new 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design for the Altima Sport trim, and new 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel designs for the SV and SL grades.
The Altima also offers a range of convenient and connected features, such as an available 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist TM Display, NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seat design with dual-density foam and bolstering, available leather-appointed seating, and an available 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat.
Exclusively on the Altima SL model, the 4-cylinder VC-Turbo delivers 248 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, with a fuel economy of 16.4 km/l. The VC-Turbo technology – which utilizes both multi-point injection and Nissan's Direct Injection Gasoline system, seamlessly changes its compression ratio between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency) – with an advanced multi-link system continuously raising or lowering the pistons' reach to transform the compression ratio.
Available throughout the Altima lineup is an advanced 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine, which is rated at 188 horsepower and 244 Nm of torque, while delivering fuel economy ratings of 17.6 km/l. All 2023 Altima models, including both engine configurations, come equipped with a standard Xtronic CVT ® (Continuously Variable Transmission). Paddle shifters with manual shift mode are standard with the Sport and 2.0 VC-Turbo SL grade.
The 2023 Nissan Altima boasts a state-of-the-art independent front and rear suspension, featuring monotube rear shocks that deliver exceptional vehicle response without compromising on roughness. The Sport-tuned suspension and front and rear stabilizer bars work in unison to provide a more dynamic handling and ride. Additionally, the steering system incorporates a dual-pinion electric power steering design that reduces steering effort during low-speed driving, making it easier to handle the vehicle. The effort increases at higher speeds, enabling better feedback and control.
