What's New for the 2026 Nissan Altima?
The 2026 Altima has seen its lineup refined, with the S and SL trim levels being removed. In their place, Nissan has debuted the new SV Special Edition and SR Midnight Edition, providing updated technology and a more modern appearance to this popular midsize sedan.
What Are the 2026 Altima Trims & Features?
For the 2026 model year, the Altima is available in four trims: SV, SV Special Edition, SR, and SR Midnight Edition. The SV trim is now the starting point for the lineup and comes well-equipped with a 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, and push-button ignition through the Nissan Intelligent Key.
The SV Special Edition adds premium touches, such as 17-inch black alloy wheels and dual exhaust finishers. It also includes upgraded interior amenities, such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and a power moonroof.
The Altima SR features exclusive 19-inch wheels and a unique grille for a more aggressive look on the road. This trim also benefits from a sport-tuned suspension to further improve its handling. Topping the range is the new SR Midnight Edition, which offers stunning 19-inch black alloy wheels and a blacked-out exterior package.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Altima Have?
Every 2026 Altima is powered by a responsive 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It generates 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, delivered through a smooth continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). While front-wheel drive is the standard setup, available all-wheel drive optimizes grip for those driving in challenging weather conditions.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Altima Include?
Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard across every 2026 Altima model. This suite 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.
Drivers seeking even more help can opt for the 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor and ProPILOT Assist, which helps maintain speed and distance on the highway.
