2025 Nissan Altima Performance: Efficient, Responsive, Ready Daily

If your commute hops from I-64 to city streets and back again, the 2025 Nissan Altima hits the sweet spot between lively acceleration and smart efficiency. Here’s a quick breakdown of what powers the Altima and why it works so well for St. Louis drivers.

Tap into Everyday Power That Feels Premium

Altima’s 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder serves up to 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque (select models), tuned to deliver its punch where you use it most: merging, passing, and rolling back on the throttle after a slow-down.

It’s paired with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT®, which keeps the engine in the meat of the power band without hunting for gears, so acceleration feels smooth and immediate.

Stretch Miles with Strong MPG

With up to an EPA-estimated 27/39 mpg (city/highway) on select models, Altima helps you skip a few fuel stops each month while keeping a confident, grown-up ride. It’s an efficiency story that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice cabin space or highway stability.

Drive with Confidence in Four Seasons

Available Intelligent AWD (on select models) continually monitors traction and can send power to the rear wheels when slippage is detected, adding reassurance in downpours or on slick neighborhood streets. When conditions improve, it prioritizes efficiency. If you plan to keep driving when the forecast goes sideways, it’s an easy box to check.

Feel the Chassis Doing Its Job

Every Altima uses an independent front strut/rear multi-link suspension setup with dual-pinion electric power steering for a natural, connected feel. The SR goes a bit sportier with a sport-tuned suspension and available 19-inch wheels, sharpening turn-in and reducing body roll while maintaining everyday comfort.

Enjoy Tech That Supports the Drive

Long stints behind the wheel are easier with available ProPILOT Assist—adaptive cruise control and lane-centering that helps you flow with traffic on I-70 or I-44. Standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 brings Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and more—peace of mind without adding options.

Pick the Trim that Matches Your Style

• S / SV: Value-packed foundations for efficiency-first shoppers.
• SV Special Edition: Adds popular upgrades without jumping trims.
• SR: Sport-tuned suspension and bold design for drivers who like a little extra edge.
• SL: Leather, Bose® audio, and the full tech suite for a premium daily.

All trims keep the same Altima strengths: responsive power, composed ride, and excellent fuel economy, so you’re choosing the flavor that best fits your routine.
