Is the 2022 Nissan Altima reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Reviewers describe it as dependable and trouble-free, and they also point to its long-term appeal through strong fuel economy, comfortable seating, and useful features that make daily ownership easier. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the car feels well put together, with a quiet cabin and a smooth, composed ride that supports confidence over time.

The Altima’s ownership risk is more about trim and powertrain choice than basic durability, so a careful used buyer should focus on maintenance history and condition rather than assuming every example will feel the same.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Nissan Altima?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, because accident-free listings are common but not guaranteed. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you’re looking at a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment, and pay close attention to how the cabin, electronics, and drivetrain have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S trim is the most basic version, while higher trims add nicer materials, a more premium feel, and more equipment; lower trims don’t look and feel as refined.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, or a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo with 248 hp and 273 lb-ft; the base engine can be paired with FWD or AWD on most trims, while the VC-Turbo is FWD-only on the SR.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, automatic high beams, driver-attention warning, Rear View Monitor, rear door alert, and hill-start assist. Starting with the SV, Safety Shield 360 adds rear automatic braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and a rear sonar system; the base S can get a Driver Assist package with similar added coverage.
• Infotainment: The S uses a 7-inch touchscreen, while other trims get an 8-inch touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7-inch advanced drive-assist display; SL and above add a Bose audio system, navigation, connected services, and remote engine start with intelligent climate control.
• Fuel efficiency: Combined fuel economy ranges from 32 mpg with the 2.5-liter engine and FWD to 29 mpg with the VC-Turbo.

Which 2022 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2022 Nissan Altima is offered in 5 trim levels: S, SV, SR, SL, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Altima, but it also has the most basic screen and fewer convenience features than the higher trims.
• SV: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds a more complete tech and safety experience without jumping all the way to the pricier luxury-oriented trims.
• SR: Choose this if you want the sportier look and feel, especially with the Midnight Edition package on the 2.5-liter engine; it also unlocks the VC-Turbo engine, though that setup is FWD-only.
• SL: This is the comfort-and-tech upgrade trim, adding the Bose audio system, navigation, connected services, and remote engine start with intelligent climate control.
• Platinum: Pick this if you want the most fully equipped Altima, including standard AWD and the highest trim-level content.

Safety-wise, the base S can be optioned with Driver Assist, while Safety Shield 360 becomes standard starting with the SV.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Nissan Altima?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,211 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.84% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 77.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,642, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $17,642 sits slightly below last year's $19,788.

That decline suggests the Altima has softened in the used market, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you plan to sell soon. A lower current average price can make it easier to attract shoppers, but it also means you may need to price competitively if you list one later.

The model’s broad appeal, strong safety reputation, and solid owner satisfaction should help support demand, but the market still appears to reward clean, well-equipped examples more than average ones. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Nissan Altima safe?

The 2022 Nissan Altima earns a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA in overall crash protection, front crash protection, side crash protection, and rollover resistance.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, automatic high beams, driver-attention warning, Rear View Monitor, rear door alert, and hill-start assist. Starting with the SV trim, Safety Shield 360 adds rear automatic braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and a rear sonar system. The base S can get an optional Driver Assist package with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and a rear sonar system.

IIHS also gives the Altima Good ratings in all six crash tests, plus an Acceptable rating for headlights and an Acceptable rating for vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention. That means the Altima’s safety case is strong overall, though the headlight and pedestrian-prevention results are not its absolute best scores.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.84% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds broader trim and powertrain flexibility, plus expanded Midnight Edition availability on the SR.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $16,287, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $17,642 average.
• It offers broad appeal with practical features and a loyal following.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $20,914, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $17,642 average.
• It emphasizes comfort, easy-to-use tech, and strong safety ratings.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, inventory, and feature breadth, the 2022 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you’re willing to pay more for a newer model-year alternative.
