What's New for the 2026 Nissan Altima?
The 2026 model year marks the introduction of the SV Special Edition and SR Midnight Edition trims, while the previous S and SL versions have been discontinued. This update ensures the Altima remains a top choice for drivers seeking modern styling and advanced technology in a midsize sedan.
What Are the 2026 Altima Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the 2026 Altima in four well-equipped trim levels: SV, SV Special Edition, SR, and SR Midnight Edition. The Altima SV serves as the base trim and comes standard with a 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, and push-button start with the Nissan Intelligent Key.
Visual upgrades like 17-inch black alloy wheels and dual exhaust finishers help the Altima SV Special Edition stand out in any parking lot. Inside, it adds high-end features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a power moonroof, and dual-zone automatic temperature control for maximum comfort.
The SR trim is designed for a sportier look, featuring unique 19-inch alloy wheels and a distinctive grille. This model is also equipped with a sport-tuned suspension to improve handling on the open road. At the top of the range, the SR Midnight Edition creates a stunning impression with blacked-out exterior accents and 19-inch black alloy wheels.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Altima Have?
All 2026 Altima models are powered by a spirited 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. A smooth-shifting continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard. While front-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, available all-wheel drive provides enhanced grip for those driving in varied weather conditions.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Altima Include?
Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every 2026 Altima, offering a suite of active safety technologies. This includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking. The lineup also features Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert as standard equipment.
For added convenience, Nissan offers an Intelligent Around View Monitor with a 360-degree camera system. Drivers can also opt for ProPILOT Assist to help maintain speed and distance during highway travels.
