    Nissan Altima

    EPA MPG: 31 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 4 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    Despite a few high points, the Nissan Altima is not competitive among midsized sedans. In a segment brimming with better cars, the Altima is a lackluster choice. It ranks below virtually all of its competitors with a humdrum driving experience and a below-par reliability record. Among its virtues are a roomy rear seat and good fuel economy.
