The 2026 Nissan Altima returns as Nissan’s well-equipped midsize sedan, combining a comfortable ride, efficient four-cylinder power, and available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for added confidence in changing weather. For 2026, Nissan streamlines the lineup to two grades, SV and SR, making it easier to find the right fit. The sporty SR now comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a wireless charging pad. A new SR Midnight Edition package also arrives, adding a darkened look with gloss black 19-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and available two-tone paint with a black roof. Whether your daily drive covers city commutes or long highway stretches, the 2026 Altima is built to make every mile more comfortable.

Every 2026 Altima is powered by a 2.5-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine paired with Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). Front-wheel-drive models produce 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, while models equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive produce 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. The engine runs on regular unleaded fuel.

Efficiency remains a strong suit. Front-wheel-drive SV and SR models earn EPA-estimated ratings of 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined, while all-wheel-drive models are rated at 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available on both the SV and SR, giving drivers more confidence and control in rain, snow, and varied road conditions. Drivers who want a more engaging feel can step up to the SR, which adds a sport-tuned suspension, paddle shifters with manual shift mode, Active Ride Control, and Intelligent Trace Control as standard. Active Ride Control and Intelligent Trace Control are also available on the SV with the SV Premium Package.

The Altima wears Nissan’s signature V-motion grille, LED headlights, Daytime Running Lights, and a long, low sedan profile. SV models ride on 17-inch machined aluminum-alloy wheels, while the SR adds 19-inch wheels, a dark chrome V-motion grille, black side mirror caps, sport exhaust tips, and a unique rear diffuser finish.

Inside, Zero Gravity front seats are designed to make long drives less taxing, and an 8-way power driver’s seat is standard on every trim. The SR adds sport combo seats with contrast stitching, a wrapped and stitched steering wheel, a leather shift knob, and rear heating and cooling vents for back-seat passengers.

Every Altima includes a 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist® Display. On the SV, NissanConnect® features an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. The SR upgrades to a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a wireless charging pad. SV buyers can add the larger screen and wireless connectivity through the SV Special Edition or SV Premium Package.

A six-speaker audio system comes standard, along with SiriusXM® (subscription required), Bluetooth® streaming audio, and two front USB ports (one Type-A, one Type-C). The SR adds two rear USB charge ports as standard, and the available SR Premium Package brings a nine-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System.

Intelligent Lane Intervention is also available on both trims. The SR Premium Package also adds the Intelligent Around View® Monitor for added confidence when parking.
