The 2025 Altima lineup sees significant changes, starting with the removal of the SR VC-Turbo engine option. This leaves the 188-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as the sole powertrain for the 2025 Altima. Additionally, the SV trim now offers a Special Edition package that aligns it more closely with higher-end models.

The base model of the 2025 Altima starts at $28,140, with pricing going up to $35,970 for the top-tier SL model with all-wheel drive.

Powertrain Simplification

For 2025, the Altima will be powered exclusively by the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which delivers 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) across all trims, with the SR variant adding paddle shifters for a more engaging driving experience. Despite the removal of the turbo option, Nissan assures customers that the existing engine offers a balanced blend of performance and fuel efficiency, particularly when paired with the available all-wheel-drive system that many Altima buyers prefer.

Updated Pricing and Features

Starting at $28,140, the base S trim of the 2025 Altima is priced $630 higher than the previous year’s model. Moving up to the $28,570 SV trim unlocks additional options like all-wheel drive and enhanced in-cabin technology. The SV trim also introduces a $1090 Special Edition package, which includes features typically found in higher trims, such as a 12.3-inch infotainment system, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, and a sunroof. The package also adds aesthetic upgrades like a rear spoiler, 17-inch glossy black wheels, illuminated kickplates, and a faux carbon fiber center console.

The SR trim, priced at $29,970, offers enhanced standard features over the SV trim. At the top of the range, the SL model starts at $34,470 for the front-wheel-drive version, with the all-wheel-drive variant priced at $35,970. Nissan has announced that the 2025 Altima will be available at dealerships in the coming weeks.

This streamlined offering of the 2025 Altima simplifies the buying process while still providing a range of options and features for different preferences and budgets.
