FEEL THE THRILL

See how the 2024 Altima levels up your game with thrilling performance, bold looks, and advanced technology.

Efficiency and performance in one engine[4]

WHAT’S THE HWY MPG FOR 2024 ALTIMA SR’S VC-TURBO ENGINE?

Delivering up to 34 mpg highway, as well as serving up to an impressive 248 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, Altima SR’s VC-Turbo engine puts a revolution in combustion engine technology right under your right foot.[2, 3, 4]

POWER THE INSTANT YOU WANT IT

When you press on the gas, the engine transforms to produce a lower compression ratio for more power. Imagine a sprinter launching off the blocks with explosive power.[2]

FUEL EFFICIENCY WHEN YOU NEED IT

Ease up, and the rotating assembly changes shape again, this time raising the compression ratio for efficiency. Like a marathoner, this more relaxed stance helps conserve energy.[2, 4]

Altima has more than one way to move you

DOES 2024 ALTIMA OFFER A 4-CYLINDER ENGINE?

Choose from two! Along with the available groundbreaking VC-Turbo engine, there’s also a 2.5L 4-cylinder Direct Injection Gasoline engine that provides impressive stats, like up to 39 highway mpg, 188 horsepower, and 180 lb-ft of torque. It’s a win-win with quick, quiet, and smooth performance.[4, 5]

Four-season fun

DOES ALTIMA OFFER ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)?

Yes, and it helps provide peace of mind in changing conditions. Altima’s available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive automatically monitors road conditions and can respond 30 times faster than the blink of an eye, sending power to the wheels that need it most for enhanced stability or efficiency.[1, 4]

Drop the routine and take on the curves

NEXT-GENERATION HANDLING

There’s more to the drive than your daily routine. Altima’s chassis makes for exciting handling and confidence. And with responsiveness and tuning dialed in to impress, you’ll look forward to every trip.
Active Ride Control Bump? What bump? Available Active Ride Control can automatically apply the brakes and adjust engine torque to smooth out your ride and turn those mountains into molehills.
Intelligent Trace Control Hug the curves with handling that feels effortless. Available Intelligent Trace Control reads any situation, and, if needed, can brake each wheel individually to help you steer smoothly through the corners.[6]
Hill Start Assist When you’re on a steep hill, there’s always that car behind you that’s too close for comfort. Thankfully, Hill Start Assist helps stop you from rolling backward. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, giving you enough time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

DYNAMIC DRIVING TECHNOLOGIES

Whether it’s stop-and-go traffic, your favorite on-ramp, or just an annoying speed bump, the Nissan Altima uses technology that works a little magic behind the scenes to help make every drive feel more comfortable, confident, and enjoyable.

Exhilaration is in its DNA

THE EXHILARATING ALTIMA SR

A sedan from the company that makes the legendary Z® — sounds pretty good, right? Choose between an efficient 4-cylinder engine or the world’s first production VC-Turbo engine.[4, 7] Sit in the driver’s cockpit and feel what an available sport-tuned suspension does to your favorite twisty road, while aggressive 19" alloy wheels turn heads as well as corners.[2]

PADDLE SHIFTERS

Put power at your fingertips. With track-inspired paddle shifters, drop or add a gear at your command, for a custom-tuned road experience.[2]
