Used 2025 Nissan Altima for Sale near Honor, MI

How much does the 2025 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 10.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 8,130 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

If you find a listing below $19,652.24, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Nissan Altima earns a 5/5 user rating and a 5.83/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Form and function at 8/10.

It stands out as a midsize sedan that still makes a case for itself with terrific front seats, available all-wheel drive, and easy-to-use technology. The overall package is aimed at you if you want comfortable, practical transportation with some personality, especially on SL and SR Premium Package models where the tech is more competitive.

The trade-offs are clear: the driving experience is fairly pedestrian, and the interior materials feel cheap. Outdated technology is another drawback, so you should expect competence more than excitement.

The market still shows 29.7% good or great deals, which gives you room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The 2025 Altima is positioned as a practical daily driver with straightforward controls, comfortable seating, and available AWD. Its 2.5-liter engine and CVT are described as unremarkable but competent, and the car is quieter than expected in normal use.

Nissan also adds three complimentary oil changes, which is a useful ownership perk if you plan to keep the car for a while.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the Altima’s value proposition depends on finding one in good condition, since the model’s materials and tech age can make neglected examples feel tired quickly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Nissan Altima?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title percentage does not replace a proper inspection. Focus on interior wear, tech functionality, and evidence of hard use, since the cabin materials and some equipment can show age quickly. If you’re considering an SR or SL, make sure the added equipment is actually present and working as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes S, SV, SV Special Edition, SR, and SL trim levels. The SV Special Edition adds black wheels, a rear spoiler, and comfort and technology upgrades, while SR brings 19-inch wheels, sport suspension, brake-induced torque vectoring, and sport-bolstered front seats. The SL is the best-equipped choice, and the SR Premium Package is the one to prioritize if you want the better interior and infotainment setup.
• Powertrain: Every Altima uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a CVT. Front-wheel-drive models make 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, while AWD models drop to 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. AWD is available, but it costs more up front and slightly reduces efficiency.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. SL trim adds ProPilot Assist 1.0, a surround-view camera system, and active blind-spot monitoring that can help steer you away from danger.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. SV Special Edition and SL models get a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, NissanConnect services, navigation, and a conversational voice assistant.
• Fuel efficiency: AWD models should get 28 mpg in combined driving, while non-AWD models should get 31-32 mpg. The test car averaged 28.3 mpg on a mountainous loop.

Which 2025 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2025 Nissan Altima is offered in 5 trim levels: S, SV, SV Special Edition, SR, and SL.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, but you should view it as the most basic way into the Altima rather than the most satisfying one. It gets the core safety suite and the standard infotainment setup, but it lacks the upgraded tech and comfort features that make higher trims easier to recommend.
• SV: This is the trim that makes the most sense for many shoppers because it adds a more balanced mix of everyday comfort and value. If you want the Altima’s practical strengths without stretching too far, this is the trim to focus on first.
• SV Special Edition: This is the best-value trim. It adds black wheels, a rear spoiler, and comfort and technology upgrades, making it the most compelling middle ground if you want more style and equipment without jumping to the top of the range.
• SR: This trim is for you if you want the sportier look and feel, with 19-inch wheels, sport suspension, brake-induced torque vectoring, and sport-bolstered front seats. It is firmer and more engaging than the lower trims, but the standard engine and basic interior setup keep it from feeling truly premium.
• SL: This is the most complete Altima. It gets the best safety and tech content, including ProPilot Assist 1.0, the surround-view camera system, active blind-spot monitoring, and the larger infotainment display with wireless smartphone features.

The SL trim level is also your ticket to the best safety features available for the Altima.

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find room to negotiate.

• Inventory: There are 8,130 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.55% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $19,652.24, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $21,349 sits slightly below last year's $23,867.

That price movement suggests the Altima is in a softer resale position than it was a year ago. If you buy now, you may benefit from the lower entry price, but a future seller should expect a market that is not especially strong for holding value.

The model’s appeal still helps support demand, especially for shoppers who want comfort, available AWD, and straightforward tech. Even so, the current trend points to a vehicle that is more attractive as a used purchase than as a standout resale performer.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima safe?

The Altima earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, including a rare five-star rollover resistance rating.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Altima, and it includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. SL trim adds ProPilot Assist 1.0, which combines adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and lane-centering assist, plus a surround-view camera system and active blind-spot monitoring.

The main caveat is that IIHS testing is less favorable, with a Poor result in updated side impact protection and front crash prevention evaluations and a Marginal result in an updated moderate offset frontal-impact test. That means you should not rely on the NHTSA score alone when judging crash protection.

Should I buy a 2025 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Nissan adds a value-packed SV Special Edition Package to the lineup to drum up interest.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $20,145, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $21,349 average.
• It remains a practical daily driver with value, standard safety tech, and available AWD.

The 2025 is the better pick if you want the freshest used example and are shopping the current market for the best mix of price and equipment. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2024 is the more budget-friendly path and still gives you the Altima’s core strengths.
