What the Altima is in 2025
The Altima is Nissan's volume midsize sedan and a direct rival to the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5. For MY2025 it is built around a 2.5-liter four-cylinder making roughly 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with an Xtronic continuously variable transmission. EPA combined ratings reach 31 mpg on the FWD 2.5-liter (27 city / 38 highway). Nissan has publicly indicated that the 2025 model year is the final year of US Altima production, so supply tightens as dealer allocations work down. Importantly, the Altima is gas-only — there is no hybrid in the US lineup the way Camry and Accord offer hybrids.
