Driving the 2025 Nissan Altima Sedan
|
Posted By: Randi Payton on March 28, 2025 I opened the door, got in, buckled up, turned on the ignition, and went on a one-week adventure in Nissan’s 2025 Altima, a trusty companion in the mid-size sedan category. It’s an affordable, five-passenger sedan with a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine that averages 28 mpg. For 2025, Nissan introduced a new SV Special Edition package with glossy black wheels, a rear spoiler, and carbon fiber-look trim, giving it a sporty edge. However, the previous SR VC-turbo-powered model with 248 horsepower was discontinued. Power/Performance: The 2025 Nissan Altima SV I tested has all-wheel drive and is powered by a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine that delivers adequate power for everyday driving. It produces 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, which is not a sports car but is responsive in city traffic. The comfort factor was a plus on long drives thanks to the eight-way power driver seat. Premium touches in the SV trim include 17-inch alloy wheels, premium paint, rear spoiler, and LED Projector Headlights, which give it a sleek and modern look. Additional Altima SV Special Edition package features include a sharp 12.3-inch HD display that houses navigation, Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And they work flawlessly. In addition, Nissan added a Maintenance Care program with three scheduled oil changes for two years or 24,000 miles. Safety: All Nissan models come standard with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 system, a suite of safety features that includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Advanced Airbag System, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Rear View Monitor, and the Easy-Fill Tire Alert, making tire maintenance less of a chore. Trim Levels and Pricing: The 2025 Nissan Altima offers five trim levels starting at around $28,140 and ending at $34,470 MSRP. Destination and handling charges add another $1,115 to the price tag. Here's a breakdown of the trims and what you can expect: • S: The base model offers essential features. • SV: Steps up with more tech and comfort features. • SV Special Edition: Adds the sporty visual upgrades and enhanced tech. • SR: The sportier option, with performance-oriented features. • SL: The top-tier trim, with premium features and advanced tech. Fuel Economy: The Front Wheel Drive S and SV models deliver 27 city/39 highway mpg, while the All-Wheel Drive gets 25 city/34 highway mpg.
