Nissan Altima for Sale

An Overview of the Altima

Nissan is one of the most respected automotive brands, a title that doesn't form overnight. Nissan's lineup constantly evolves, but many old favorites, like the Altima, still provide drivers with a modern experience through its continuous evolution. The Altima isn't the oldest nameplate Nissan produces, but it's one of them, having debuted in 1992 with the introduction of the 1993 Atima.

The Altima faced steep competition from the start. The Toyota Camry established a foothold a decade before the Altima's arrival, and the Honda Accord several years before that. A handful of its competitors no longer exist, like the Plymouth brand that produced the long-forgotten Acclaim, and even Ford used to be a direct competitor with the since-discontinued Taurus. Nowadays, competition stems from the same sources, but it's a different playing field aside from familiar faces like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry; the modern Altima goes directly up against midsize sedans like the Kia K5, Hyundai Sonata, Subaru Legacy, and Chevy Malibu.

The Altima is a well-rounded vehicle with excellent performance. It is slightly larger than some competitors and has come standard with impressive tech for its price for years. The Altima has had several generational leaps since its debut, going from the boxier-looking design commonly seen throughout the 1990s to the eye-catcher it is today, with its sporty design built with aerodynamics in mind.

Looks aren't everything, and Nissan knows this. The Altima isn't just pretty to look at; it's safe to ride. An example is its durability, where the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Altima their prized Top Safety Pick+ title. This is for vehicles that have the best safety tech and engineering. It doesn't stop there: Nissan puts the same attentive care into every aspect of the Altima, meaning you can expect a well-designed product in every corner.

Shop for a Brand-New Altima

We invite you to visit our dealership and explore our excellent selection of new Altimas. These never-before-driven sedans are the perfect choice for those looking for a commuter car and want the latest available model. The Altima is not just a great vehicle to get to and from work, but it's a terrific sedan to drive around town if you live with a spouse, children, or friends.

Nissan vehicles are known for their remarkable longevity, and one of the best ways to see this for yourself is by becoming the first owner of one of this year's Altimas for sale at our dealership. We'll answer any questions you have about the new Altima, including comparisons to previous models and its competitors—and if you want a test drive in this year's Altima, a Rusty Wallace Nissan sales team member can accompany you as you experience what'll be your next car for the very first time.

An exclusive benefit to buying a new car is personalization options if you're interested in a custom build. We're here to help you choose the best options to create your dream Altima, and we'll send it to the Nissan engineers ready to fulfill your order. What does custom ordering a Nissan Altima look like? To get started, you'll select a trim and powertrain before personalizing the exterior with various visual flourishes like additional materials to protect your paint job, which will be in your chosen color.

The higher the trim, the more customizable it becomes. For example, higher-tier trims may allow you to adjust the interior's tone from dark to light and add bespoke accented LED lights by your feet, among other examples. You'll be amazed at how far you can customize your Altima to fit your wants and needs, even using the base model as a starting point. Custom ordered or not, the new Altima you purchase from our dealership comes with Nissan's extensive manufacturer warranty plans—and we'll tell you more about that later if you're interested.

Used Nissan Altima models provide drivers with terrific value without sacrificing what makes it an incredible sedan. It's a great idea to take a pre-owned Altima that interests you for a test drive; ask us to take any used car you see out for a spin. You can see if it has the features you need and the open-road driving experience you crave. Our pre-owned Altimas also have CARFAX reports, helping you separate any vehicles with a potentially more storied history from the others.

We understand that not everyone knows the ins and outs of every vehicle. It's a lot to remember, so we'll take as much time as you need to ask all your questions and learn about the differences between each pre-owned model. We have a deep catalog of excellent used Altimas, which aren't all identical; trims and model years can differ, allowing you a greater chance of narrowing down your ideal choice.
