2024 Nissan Altima: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Nissan Altima is a true carryover with no major product changes. It keeps the five-trim lineup, two engines, AWD setup, safety equipment, and cabin technology from 2023.
About the 2024 Nissan Altima
6th generation Altima (2019-2025), second year after the 2023 refresh.
Nissan positions the Altima as a stylish midsize sedan built around everyday comfort, strong standard safety tech, and one standout advantage in this class: available AWD on mainstream gas-engine trims. For most buyers, it is a practical commuter and family sedan with a roomy cabin, strong highway fuel economy, and easy-to-use tech, rather than a hybrid efficiency play or a hardcore sport sedan.
The S covers the basics, while the SV adds everyday conveniences such as smartphone integration and a power driver’s seat. The SR brings sportier styling, the SL focuses on leather, Bose audio, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and the front-wheel-drive VC-T SR pairs that premium equipment with the turbo engine.
