Historically, the Nissan Altima’s strength, when compared to other midsize sedans, has been its responsive handling, and I’m happy to report that the trait remains intact with the 2015 model.
I remember the introduction of the 2002 Nissan Altima like it was yesterday; it shook the midsize family sedan market from the ground up and revived Nissan’s fortunes like a shot of double espresso. It was a groundbreaking design, modern and bold, yet classically appealing at the same time.
Back then, the new Altima truly stood out amongst its bland competition and in sharp contrast to the almost invisible Altima it had replaced. Not only that, it was roomy and comfortable, with simple instrumentation similar to that of a sports car. Finally, it was a blast to drive. I still see tons of these third-generation 2002-2006 Altimas on the road, and when lovingly maintained they look like they could be brand-new designs rather than shapes penned over a decade ago.
Nissan set the bar high with this one, so high that it may have been detrimental overall.
Successive Altimas haven’t created as big a splash, and while the latest iteration of Nissan’s family sedan, which debuted in 2013, is an appealing sedan, it appears that the company relies too heavily on busy details and heavy-handed applications of chrome in an effort to make it stand out. In my opinion, Nissan has copied too many details from the range-topping Maxima, which today relies on rental-car companies far more than consumers to keep the assembly line running.
Remember when Maximas used to be cool? I guess I just dated myself.
Choosing an Altima isn’t as easy as it ought to be. Altima 2.5 models have a 4-cylinder engine, and Altima 3.5 models have a V6 engine, and while they share trim levels (except for a stripped-down 2.5 base model that dealers stock in order to advertise a lower price), the trim levels don’t match in terms of equipment. That means a 2.5 S, SV or SL is not as well equipped as a 3.5 S, SV or SL.
My advice? Decide which engine you want, and then compare from there.
My test vehicle is one of the most popular versions of the car, an Altima 2.5 SV. By upgrading to SV trim, you’ll get 17-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights and NissanConnect technology with Mobile Apps, a hands-free text-messaging assistant, a USB port, satellite radio and a reversing camera. The SV also adds dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and remote engine start.
To this, my test car added the Convenience Package and the Technology Package, bringing the price to just over $28,000. The Convenience Package ($1,350) includes a power sunroof, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with a compass, a HomeLink universal garage door opener, a small cargo net for the side of the trunk, interior mood lighting and LED turn signal indicators on the outside mirrors. But I think the most useful thing about this upgrade are the rear-seat air conditioning vents.
The Technology Package ($1,090) is a real bargain, considering what it adds to the Altima 2.5 SV. A 7-inch NissanConnect screen replaces the standard 5-inch screen and includes voice recognition, SiriusXM traffic and Travel Link services. More important, this package installs a blind-spot monitoring system, a lane-departure warning system and a Moving Object Detection system that monitors for approaching cross traffic when the Altima is reversing out of a parking space.
Swathed in Cayenne Red paint, my Altima 2.5 SV was good looking enough, but it definitely lacks the va-va-voom appeal of sleeker and better-proportioned sedans like the Mazda6 and the Chrysler 200. At least no one can argue with the styling of the cabin. Thanks to its two-tone color scheme, it looks upscale, and most of the materials are of good quality.
Pop the hood of an Altima 2.5 to reveal a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated to make 182 horsepower. This is a lively and spirited powerplant at all points across the rev range, thanks in part to a standard and remarkably refined continuously variable transmission (CVT). It works quietly and swiftly to deliver the engine’s power to the Altima’s front wheels.
Independent publications have clocked this vehicle getting to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds, which is quite good for this class. Spend too much time exploring this aspect of the car’s performance, and you won’t come close to hitting EPA fuel-economy estimates of 27 mpg city/38 highway. During my week of relatively moderate driving I averaged 27.8 mpg in combined driving, which is less than the 31-mpg rating the EPA led me to expect.
Historically, the Nissan Altima’s strength, when compared to other midsize sedans, has been its responsive handling, and I’m happy to report that the trait remains intact with the 2015 model. Even though Nissan no longer offers the sport-tuned SE trim of years past, the 2.5 SV delivered driver satisfaction on curvy roads, dutifully obeying every command with nary a protest. You can toss this Altima through a hairpin corner and it bounces right back, ready for more.
While I thought the Altima’s steering was reasonably crisp and direct, my husband contends that this electric steering rack is one of the least satisfying modern setups that he’s sampled. The Altima’s brakes proved strong and easy to modulate, and the suspension virtually eliminated body roll and other untoward movements, though it definitely feels firm.
As a result, I find the Altima 2.5 a pleasure to drive on sinuous roads, as well as comfortable and serene on city streets, all the while while maintaining an impressive air of quietude inside the cabin.
Nissan uses what the company calls Zero Gravity seat designs for the Altima’s front seats. They adopted the technology from NASA to find the most comfortable, least fatiguing positions for the driver and front passenger. All I can tell you is that these are indeed comfortable, and even after a long day of trudging around Disneyland on an offensively hot day, it was gratifying to sink into these seats.
Adult rear passengers also found the rear seats to be exceptionally comfortable and roomy, with what seemed like limitless space. Most of the time, though, I carried my young children in this car. If you’re like me and plan to use the Altima as a kid carrier, I’d recommend skipping the beige cloth seats. They show everything.
Beyond seat comfort, the rest of the Altima’s cabin is agreeable, exhibiting impressive levels of fit and finish rendered in materials that feel like quality and are pleasing to the touch. Controls are very clearly marked, and all systems are easy and intuitive to use.
The Altima also provides 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk, and the SV model’s side-mounted cargo net is perfect for carrying jugs of milk, bottles of juice, or Pinot Grigio for mommy’s weekend fling. The 60/40-split rear seats also fold for greater flexibility.
My Altima 2.5 SV test vehicle was equipped with all the technology you need, and nothing you don’t. From an Advanced Drive Assist Display, which displays pertinent information front-and-center in order to minimize distractions, and NissanConnect technology to several useful safety features, my affordable Altima had it all.
The optional Technology Package upgrades the NissanConnect screen to a larger size, and it really makes a big difference in terms of usability. Flanked by traditional knobs and buttons designed to control traditional functions, the screen features large touch-sensitive virtual buttons, clean graphics and legible markings, and it proves quite intuitive. Equipped with navigation, traffic and weather information, and the ability to sync a smartphone for all the latest in social media and entertainment, along with text-messaging support and more, NissanConnect is impressively executed except for the amount of glare the screen sometimes suffers.
Equipped with a 5-star overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Altima sure is able to protect its occupants in a collision. But what does it do to help avoid one in the first place?
One thoughtful feature is the standard Easy Fill Tire Alert system. When the tire pressure monitoring system tells you that a tire is going soft, drive to the nearest gas station with an air hose, unscrew the tire cap, and pump air until the horn chirps. That tells you that you’ve reached the proper tire pressure and that you’re done. Thanks to this system, Nissan makes it easy for Altima owners to maintain proper tire pressure, which is critically important to overall vehicle safety. No more futzing around with a pressure gauge to see if you’re still too low or you’ve gone too high.
Beyond this, most Altimas have smart automatic headlights that are linked to the windshield wipers. Turn the wipers on, and after several swipes the headlights will illuminate, helping to make the Altima more visible in the rain or during snowstorms. A reversing camera is also included on most models.
Beyond these features, the Altima 2.5 SV and 2.5 SL can be optioned with blind-spot monitoring, a lane-departure warning system and a Moving Object Detection system. All three technologies are standard in the 3.5 SV and 3.5 SL, and it’s worth noting that Nissan expanded availability of these systems to the SV models just this year.
If you’re the type of person who automatically assumes that Japanese cars are more reliable, you’re going to want to investigate the Altima’s historical ratings before taking the plunge. Consumer Reports isn’t terribly impressed, and neither is J.D. Power. The Altima’s quality, dependability and reliability ratings all trend as average.
That describes the Altima’s ability to hold its value over time, too, as well as expected costs associated with long-term ownership. My observed fuel economy number of 27.8 mpg, though impressive compared to other midsize sedans, falls short in terms of how it matches up to EPA ratings, adding another layer of “meh” to the Altima.
That’s probably why Nissan offers killer deals on the Altima, pretty much all the time. As I write this, there are zero-down lease deals, zero-percent financing deals and up to $1,750 in rebates. Whatever you do, don’t pay more than invoice price for an Altima. In fact, subtract whatever rebate is available from the invoice price, and don’t pay more than that.
My reception on Sirrus radio stations will cut out for a second (most times less then a minute apart). When it does, 3 seconds later it cuts out again for a second. Then within a minute it does it again. I have had it in the shop three times without success. The fourth time the radio was replaced with a new one. SAME PROBLEM. Regular AM and FM there is no problem. Could it be a short in the antenna. Please, ever heard of this before and can you help!
I replaced my gas cap and my gas cap loose light steady comes on
I was driving the car jerked really bad and the slip indicator light and check engine light came on
I bought a 2015 nissan altima a year ago that has a 2.5SV I4 engine with a CVT transmission. I was wondering how long will the cvt last before beginning to show some problems and how long will it last before breaking completely. The car is is brand new straight from the dealership and I plan on selling it after 4-5 years. I drive relatively smooth and try to put as little stress as possible on the car, but as a 19 year old guy, I floor it and launch control the car from time to time lol. Thanks in advance
so me and my husband got in an arguement he took my key fob so i removed two green fuses from under the hood. he then bypassed the fuses by jumping them with some wire he said. he was able to drive it about a mile down the road then it shut off on him. had to have car towed home. he thought it was the radiator so i ordered a new one witch he replaced. car will crank over but wont start. it sounds like its almost going to start but it wont. he now thinks the head gasket is blown cus the oil is milky looking. its a 2015 nissan altima. someone please help me!!!!
