Overview
The Altima impresses with its value proposition in the competitive midsize sedan market, facing off against the Accord, Camry, and Legacy. Despite its sluggish acceleration, it compensates with commendable fuel efficiency. While it offers appealing design, competitive pricing, and optional turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, it lacks a standout feature to elevate it above its rivals in the segment.

Comfortable Interior
A notable addition to the 2024 Altima midsize sedan is the introduction of a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This feature comes standard in the 2.0 SR and the top SL trim, while it’s optional in the two trims below.
The touchscreen also includes wireless Apple CarPlay integration, although Android users will still need their cables.
The front seats offer exceptional comfort, but rear passengers might find themselves a bit cramped with 35.2 inches of legroom. In comparison, competitors like the Honda Accord provide more spacious rear seating with 40.8 inches of legroom.
The trunk space of 15.4 cubic feet falls slightly short, although it surpasses that of the Camry (15.1 cubic feet). Nonetheless, other rivals offer even more trunk space.
