How much does the 2025 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 10.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 8,252 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of cars to compare.

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.

The Altima’s appeal centers on its stylish design, comfortable cabin, and easy-to-use technology, and it also offers available all-wheel drive for added traction. At the same time, the expert review calls out fairly pedestrian performance and outdated technology, so you should expect a practical sedan rather than an especially engaging one.

The 36.1% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The Altima is presented as a straightforward midsize sedan with familiar, settled character, and the expert review emphasizes that it goes about its business without fanfare. Its powertrain is described as decent in everyday use, and the CVT rarely irritates, which supports the case for predictable day-to-day ownership.

Nissan also includes three complimentary oil changes, which helps soften early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the car’s dated hardware and modest value equation may make it less rewarding to keep than some rivals.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with added equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the expert review notes cheap-feeling interior materials and some trim-specific equipment differences that can affect how the car feels day to day.

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 the SR brings 19-inch wheels, sport suspension, brake-induced torque vectoring, and sport-bolstered front seats. Base-trim cars miss some worthwhile features, and the SR without the Premium Package lacks dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, and the larger touchscreen.
• 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. The review describes the driving experience as unremarkable, and AWD improves traction but costs more up front and in fuel use.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic rear braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The SL trim adds ProPilot Assist 1.0, a surround-view camera system, and an active blind-spot monitoring system that can attempt to steer you out of harm’s way.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo. The SV Special Edition and SL get a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, NissanConnect services, navigation, and a conversational voice assistant.
• Fuel efficiency: AWD models should get 28 mpg in combined driving, while front-wheel-drive versions should get 31-32 mpg. The review also notes that the AWD system matched real-world expectations in testing.

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, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Altima lineup and are comfortable with the standard equipment set.
• SV: This is the trim that keeps the Altima practical and approachable while adding more everyday appeal than the base model.
• SV Special Edition: This is the best-value trim, because it adds black wheels, a rear spoiler, and comfort and technology upgrades that make the car feel more complete.
• SR: Choose this if you want the sportier look and chassis tuning, including 19-inch wheels, sport suspension, brake-induced torque vectoring, and sport-bolstered front seats.
• SL: This is the trim to buy if you want the most advanced tech and safety content, including the larger touchscreen and ProPilot Assist 1.0.

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

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Nissan Altima?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 8,252 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,661, 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 $21,184 sits slightly below last year's $23,787.

That decline suggests the Altima has already absorbed a meaningful amount of market softening, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price, you’re starting from a lower baseline than last year’s shoppers faced.

The model’s broad appeal as a comfortable, practical sedan should still support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment. But the softer pricing trend means future sellers may need to stay competitive to move their cars quickly.

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 2025 Nissan Altima earns five-star ratings 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, 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. The 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 caution flag is the IIHS result: the Altima gets a Poor rating in updated side-impact and front crash prevention evaluations, and a Marginal result in an updated moderate offset frontal test. That means you should pay close attention to safety expectations if crash protection is a top priority.

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:

• 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.95% 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 $20,019, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $21,184 average.
• It offers a comfortable ride and available all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with the strongest current deal activity, the 2025 makes sense. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2024 is the better value play, especially if you find one in good condition with the equipment you want.
