The 2022 Nissan Altima is a sleek family sedan with a reputation for its spacious interiors, smooth ride, and fuel-efficient engines. The 2022 Altima's official release date and pricing are yet to be revealed, but we expect it to arrive in the fall of 2021. This year, it will not be given a makeover. A 188-hp 2.5L inline-4 and a 248-hp 2.0L turbo-4 engine are available. The latter engine is so strong that it can sprint from zero to sixty miles per hour in 5.9 seconds.

The Altima's cabin is well-equipped with many conveniences, although the interior quality isn't very high. Although the inside is roomy, the entertainment system lacks basic Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Altima got superb wellbeing appraisals and is outfitted with an assortment of driver help highlights. The Nissan Altima competes against the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and

Hyundai Sonata in its lineup.

The Nissan Altima seeks to maintain its position in the popular midsize car class by adding new amenities this year. It has expressive style and a comfy interior in its sixth generation. It is recognized for its pleasant riding quality rather than its acceleration. The Altima has a few flaws that hinder it from being the best selection in the segment.  

Despite having a Japanese badge, the Altima's operating expenses are greater than those of comparable Japanese competitors like the Accord and Camry. You should budget roughly $7,100 per year for maintenance, gasoline, and repairs.

Exterior:

The Nissan Altima is promptly confused with a games vehicle. The façade appears to be angular and strong. With sharp headlights and a lower bumper, the front end looks forceful. This car's grille extends all the way to the bumper, boosting practicality while still looking excellent. With 5.2 inches of ground clearance, the Altima is the car with the least amount of clearance.

Two contour lines run the length of the hood, one to the A-pillar and the other to the rear of the vehicle. Depending on the model level, the wheel arches may accommodate 16, 17, or 19-inch wheels. The Altima has a fantastic outward stance when compared to its competitors, with a wheelbase of 112.2 inches. The taillight assembly has a blacked-out finish at the back. At the base is a diffuser with double exhaust openings.

The Altima is 0.6 inches taller than the Honda Accord. The Hyundai Sonata's narrow wheelbase reflects its lack of back legroom. Even though the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord have a short wheelbase, they do not share the same issue.The Accord's lighter check weight permits it to speed up more rapidly than the Altima. Other outside characteristics include:  

• Headlights with LEDs
• LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and LED taillights
• Exterior mirrors that are heated
• Grille is black with a chrome surround.
• Grille shutters that are active
• 16-inch, 17-inch, and 19-inch alloy wheels with chrome window trim Exhaust tips with two chrome tips

Interior:

The Nissan Altima's cabin is excellent, but it lacks the refinement of its competitors. The dashboard has a sloppy design that extends all the way down to the glove box, giving it a distinct appearance. It also includes imitation wood trim on the top trims, which gives it a pleasant tactile sense. We wish there were more metal accent lines within the interior than the one that runs down the dashboard. The controlling wheel has a level base and matches the lodge pleasantly. Cloth upholstery is standard, while leather-wrapped seats are available on the SL and Platinum models. Nissan's Zero Gravity seats are incredibly agreeable and steady. Power-adjustable front heated seats and a power sunroof are standard on higher grades. Six-footers will complement the front row's substantial passenger room. Legroom in the back seat is smaller than in the competition, but headroom is enough. Generally, within the Altima is open and comfortable. Only the S trim has a 7-inch touchscreen, however it lacks smartphone connectivity, which is a major flaw in today's world. All other variants include an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Although the touchscreen might be sluggish at times, the visual quality is excellent. The analog instrument cluster is 7 inches in diameter, with a tiny driver's display in the middle. Only the top two models have a Bose sound system with nine speakers. The load capacity of the Nissan Altima is 15.4 cubic feet, which is typical for this class. The good news is that the back seats can be folded, although only partially. Long goods may be stored more easily, and the load height is quite low. Under the driver's armrest, there is plenty of storage.

The automobile also comes with standard features like as door pockets, cupholders, and so on. The following are some of the primary cabin features:  

• Automatic temperature control in two zones
• Steering wheel made of leather
• Front heated seats with power adjustment
• Upholstery options include cloth and leather.
• Rearview mirror with auto-dimming feature
• Garage door opener universal
• Touchscreens of 7 and 8 inches
• Cluster of 7-inch instruments 9-speaker Sound system by Bose

Performance:

There will be two powertrain choices for the Nissan Altima. A 2.5L four-chamber motor with 188 pull and 180 pound-feet of force controls pretty much every Altima. A 2.0L turbocharged fourchamber motor with 248 drive and 273 pound-feet of force is accessible in the SR level. A CVT gearbox is standard, paying little mind to motor decision. AWD is accessible on all grades, except for the S.

The standard engine provides more than enough power for everyday driving. On the optional engine, there is some turbo lag. For improved fuel efficiency, the CVT gearbox stays in the lower RPM band most of the time. The Altima is a well-balanced vehicle. A small amount of body lean may be seen around the edges. Even on uneven roads, the suspension provides a comfortable ride, and the precise steering enhances the driving experience.

With the standard motor, the Altima speeds up to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds and has a quarter-mile speed of 16.3 seconds, which is fairly lazy. Switch to the turbocharged engine for faster acceleration, as it completes the 0-60 MPH sprint in in 5.8 seconds. On the other hand, the brakes are adequate. The stopping force is adequate, and the brakes fade less over time. The

Nissan Altima needs 120 feet to come to a complete stop from 60 mph.

The Honda Accord's engines are both turbocharged, which aids in quick acceleration. The available engine in the Toyota Camry is a 301-hp V6, which is the most powerful in the competition. The Hyundai Sonata's standard engine, like the Altima's, lacks power, but the optional engine is a real eye-opener.

Safety:

The Altima comes with a long list of active safety measures as standard. These features continue to grow as you progress up the trim ladder. Under the Driver Assist package, several driver aids are available for the basic S trim. Overall, the Altima is a safe vehicle for you and pedestrians alike. The Altima has a number of important safety features, including:  

• Pedestrian detection and forward collision warning
• Automatic emergency braking in both forward and backward
• Warning for lane deviation
• Cross-traffic warning in the rear
• Detection of blind spots
• Cruise control that adapts to the situation
• Drowsiness monitor for drivers
• Assist from ProPilot
• Recognize traffic signs
• Camera with a 360-degree view
