Excellent purchase with tons of backspace.

Love the new features of safety, beeps when cars are driving too close to you either sides or in front and automatic breaks. Also has a backup camera to help avoid accidents highly recommendable. It also comes with an automatic turn on button so that you can turn on your ac prior to getting in the car.

Ke L

Reliable roomy inexpensive vehicle.

I love Altima Nissans. This is my 4th car. I recently traded a Mercedes Benz in for my new Altima. They are very reliable, roomy and does not burn a lot of gas. They are extremely good on the highway. They are now built to be a smart car. I can now listen to Sirius at an additional charge.

2020 Nissan Altima review.

The car has a lot of safety features and improved technology that helps the driver and their passengers travel between destinations safely and in comfort. The new model has a better overall design and has people turning their heads when you drive by.

John L

I love my vehicle. I like when it tells u when u in traffic and tells you.

I really love my car. My car drive smooth on the road and it help you drive on the road. It tells you when a car is coming or when you to close to the other line. I also like the bt in the car. When somebody call me I can just press the green button on the screen without touching or picking up my phone.

Nissan of Portland 122nd /Halsey.

I love my vehicle. I have so far had no major issues and am on a lease program. I will stay with Nissan without a doubt! I went to a family friend who sold us two Nissans was not a previous Nissan owner, but do love our vehicles. Both our vehicles are comfortable and ride super smooth. Thank you Nissan.

Jeff B

Great economy and amazing performance.

Great car, amazing performance. Great economy, too. Like that pairing. Hard to get them both. I get 39 mpg and turn a measles 1800 rpm at 100 mph! Now I like that. And the car is fun, too. Also a jewel of new tech! I am very happy with this car. Anyone would be.

Mary J

Sleek, comfortable, and reliable.

Love my car, it is fun to drive, it is very comfortable. It is very reliable. It looks sporty but has room for the whole family. Sound system is great. Interior is awesome. The ride is smooth and quite. My car is a beautiful white and black interior which does not show dirt.

Garrett H

2020 Nissan Altima 2.5sr quick review.

This car is beautiful. Very clean lines, and sporty look. Smaller profile tires with larger sports package wheels. Rides very smooth even when speeding up quickly. Interior is well thought out, with intricate details within the seat stitching as well as within the dash and large screen. Apple carplay is amazing on this screen.

Ashley A

Nissan is not reliable do not buy.

Nissans have a lot of problems in the computer be careful read the reviews before you go and buy a Nissan I have seen several reviews with the same problems I have had in the past! A bunch with cars steering wheels locking and jilting and losing power these have happened to me and I have almost crashed multiple times due to them not fixing it!

Haley C

All in all the vehicle is a great choice.

I have not had any problems so far with this vehicle. For me this vehicle is a good gas saver. It gets me from point a to point b for work and coming home. The vehicle is very spacious in the front seats and also in the back seats. The truck is also a spacious for holding groceries or anything you might need to move around. Reclining seats in the back makes the truck bigger which gives you even more space. The driver seat is also very comfortable the seats are easy to recline and it makes for a very good driving experience.

James Williams

Doors open and closein

As a hold I like the car. But there is a problem with the doors U have to use more pressure to close doors and that should not be with a new car. I taken it back to the dealership and they didn’t do anything.

Mikaylah K

Nice car, already having problems though.

I bought it used at 60k miles. It is already having problems and does not shift gears correctly. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the transmission. I have also started having problems with the entertainment system not working. However, it does have good gas mileage and some nice features (like lane assist, blind spot, back up camera). It would be a nice car if it was actually mechanically sound.

Arnold Noriega

2020 altimabreaks on its own

I loved the car. It's smooth ,its strong. It drives really good as far as mobility. Spacious and its a really good car. But lately the past month, the front sensor light has been turning on and it sais sensor malfunction. The car has also triggerd the breaks multiple times with nothing being in front of the car to actually trigger the breaks. Its almost gotten me in 2 automobile accidents, and recently crashed a curve sidewalk while turning do to the breaks trigger on its own.

Taixa H

Great safety features, indicator on side view mirrors.

Nissan in itself is a great brand. I love Japanese cars they are made with quality. My Altima runs smooth is great on gas not only that but it has great safety features like the light on the side view mirror when someone is in your blind spot. I also love the color of my car it is a gun machine grey color. In trend right now.

Yailin D

Just what I can afford for now.

My car a nice car, no luxury, it has a rear camera, start button, black interior, cup holders, sensors, very reliable, is has ac and heater, automatic windows, black wheels, touch screen radio, the fuel last longer because of the small engine, it has sparkly color.

Tom R

It is all wheel drive which is nice and the blue color is appealing.

I have remote start, Sirius, apple play, leather seats but my last Altima was much better on gas and had more features and better gas mileage plus sunroof. I should have stayed with that car. Also paid more for the new car when it offers less. Will most likely move on for next car.

What Do Critics Say About the Nissan Altima?

Consumer Reports says the 2020 Nissan Altima offers a great cabin with comfortable seats and decent owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Altima at 4/5, enjoying the available safety technology, but doesn’t like the poor visibility with the large roof pillars.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Altima a 4/5, praising the advanced entertainment technology system, but owners don’t like the relatively weak turbo engine.

What Common Problems Does the 2020 Nissan Altima Have?

Common problems found on the 2020 Nissan Altima include the windshield cracking for no reason, the automatic emergency randomly engaging, along with clunking noises from the front suspension. Overall, these problems are a bit worse than other midsize sedans, but repair costs are reasonably affordable.

The windshield cracking for no reason is the most widespread complaint from 2020 Nissan Altima owners. There was a batch of bad glass which was more likely to break in heating and cooling cycles than normal glass. Replacing the windshield costs around $450, depending on local labor rates.

Automatic emergency braking randomly engaging is another problem mentioned by 2020 Altima owners in the first 30,000 miles. The front braking sensor is overly sensitive and when it gets dirty it fails. Cleaning the sensor is the first thing you should try. If that doesn’t fix it, then you may need to replace the sensor, costing around $550.

Clunking noises from the front suspension have been reported on some Altima models within the first 1,000 miles. Some owners have reported dealerships not removing the suspension blocks from the front shocks, which most will fix for free. There are also some rare reports of damaged shocks, which cost around $350 to replace.

There are four recalls on the 2020 Nissan Altima, which is similar to other midsize sedans. The most serious recall is for the tie-rod ball joints which may come loose, which leads to a loss of steering. Nissan will tighten and fix the joints for free on affected models. Other recalls cover the tires along with the rear window glass.

How Long Will the 2020 Nissan Altima Last?

A well-maintained 2020 Nissan Altima can last around 200,000 miles, which is around 100,000 less than the top-rated Toyota Camry. Regular annual maintenance costs are slightly higher than other midsize sedans, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $480 per year.

As a used 2020 Nissan Altima reaches 100,000 miles owners should be prepared to replace the A/C refrigerant line for $575, alternator voltage regulator costing $425, along with the exhaust manifold gasket which costs around $200.

Jackie G

Yes.I. Wish it has the maps built in. I don't have weather and sometimes I can't fit a 3rd passenger in the back row.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is great in the 2020 Nissan Altima with a standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Optional upgrades include a more powerful Bose stereo system.

Standard safety technology is good for a sedan offering:

Forward collision warning
Driver attention monitor
Forward automatic emergency braking
Rearview camera

Optional driver assistance features include

Blind spot monitoring
Nissan Safety Shield
Surround-view parking camera system
Lane departure warning
Traffic sign recognition
ProPilot Assist automatic driving
Automatic high beam headlights
Rear cross traffic alert
Stop-and-go adaptive cruise control
Rear parking
Intelligent lane intervention (lane centering)
Rear automatic emergency braking

Is the 2020 Nissan Altima a Good Value?

Yes, the 2020 Nissan Altima is a good value since it’s less expensive than many other midsize sedans. The blue book fair purchase price ranges from $19,550 to $30,998, making it cheaper than a Subaru Legacy or Hyundai Sonata. When new, the price range was $24,300 to $35,180. Depreciation is similar to other sedans, losing around 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Nissan Altima?

What Engines Come In the Nissan Altima?

The base engine in the 2020 Nissan Altima is a weak 2.5L 4-cylinder which makes 188 horsepower at up to 32 MPG. All Altima models come with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
An available upgrade is an average 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder which produces 248 horsepower while getting up to 29 MPG. Performance is good, taking 6.7 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Nissan Altima Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Nissan Altima?

The 2020 Nissan Altima is a midsize sedan that offers a comfortable and pleasant driving experience. The car’s interior is well-designed and spacious, with plenty of room for both the driver and passengers. Let’s take a closer look at some of the features that contribute to the Altima’s comfort.

The Altima provides comfortable seating for up to five passengers, with supportive and well-cushioned seats. The front seats are adjustable, allowing drivers of all sizes to find a comfortable position. The seats are also available in leather upholstery in higher trim levels, providing an extra touch of luxury.

The Altima’s cabin is designed to be quiet and free from excessive noise and vibration. The car’s suspension system effectively absorbs road bumps, providing a smooth ride, and its sound-insulating materials keep road noise at bay.

How Much Storage Space Does the Nissan Altima Have?

The 2020 Nissan Altima is a midsize sedan that provides ample storage space for its passengers. The trunk space is the primary storage area, and it can hold various items, including luggage, groceries, and sports equipment. The Altima’s trunk has a capacity of 15.4 cubic feet in most trims, providing enough space for everyday use.

It’s important to note that storage capacity may vary depending on the specific configuration and equipment of the car. For example, the Altima SR trim has a sport-tuned suspension that may affect trunk space. Additionally, storage space may be affected if seats are folded down, or if a spare tire is used instead of a tire repair kit.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The sixth generation of the Nissan Altima was launched for the 2019 model year.

2015: 3.5 SV and SL models have a standard touchscreen and remote ignition.

2016: Small exterior styling changes, new SR model introduced, more safety technology.

2017: No major changes.

2018: More safety technology added, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto offered on the touchscreen

2019: Fully redesigned for the sixth generation with new exterior, interior, all-wheel drive, and engines.

2020: Standard driver aids on the SR model, optional on S, updated interior trim.

2021: Turbo motor only available on SR model.

How Does the Nissan Altima Compare to the Competition?

The 2020 Nissan Altima is a decent midsize sedan for shoppers on a budget, although predicted long-term reliability ratings are lower than some of the competition.

The Nissan Maxima is a larger sedan offered by Nissan which costs around $2,500 more. Passenger room is better in the Nissan Maxima, while the Nissan Altima offers more standard driver-assistance technology. We recommend the Nissan Altima since it’s a safer choice, although both have similar reliability ratings.

The Toyota Camry is another midsize sedan which is available for about $4,500 more. Reliability ratings are higher on the Toyota Camry, while the Nissan Altima offers a more engaging driving experience. We recommend the Toyota Camry since there are fewer problems reported as they age.

Mr K from MD on July 30, 2023

Great car for gas saving.

I bought my altima in Marsh as using my minivan to go to work is costing me too much at this time of rising price of gas. A week after I got the car, my windshield cracked. I got off work in the morning ready to go home. As I came down to the parking lot to get into the car, I found the crack which got into the 2/3 lengthwise of the windshield. I thought that somebody did that to my car; but, after reading the review about this car I understand that it could occur without nobody touched it. Another problem with the car is the emergency brake that turns on frequently when I enter the parking lot at work; that really bother me since it stops the car.

Laure G on June 24, 2021

My Altima is the ultimate! She shines both inside & out.

My Altima is the ultimate dream ride! It looks sporty & sleek but is like a sedan in terms of comfort & roominess. It gets terrific mileage & has many safety features. The warranty at Nissan is the best ever & their service is amazing. I know I made the right choice for the last vehicle of my lifetime.

Raven F on June 18, 2021

Altima 2020 is a wonderful car it is a must get.

Great features on downfall is connecting to the Bluetooth at times. Car is really good on gas and it is not a sports car, but def goes up just as one would. Other than that it is a great car I really love it! You would love this car I have black but I am thinking about going red. No minor problems yet and I have had the car over a year.

Juan J on June 18, 2021

If you want reliable and slick, Nissan is your bet.

Nissan Altima sr is a very comfortable ride, its bucket seats and low profile makes you feel as if you were in a luxurious sports car. For the price of this car you get top tier performance, all leather interior, good entertainment system and its slick look in the exterior.

Mirleth M on June 14, 2021

Nissan 2020 very awesome..

I love how easy it drives you do not have to press on the gas a lot for it to run. Very luxurious looking and sporty and it was affordable. My ashy gray color Nissan is perfect as well it looks very clean all the time. I would recommend this car to anyone honestly best purchase ever.

Laura T on May 30, 2021

This is the perfect family car with a sport edge.

The Nissan sentra 2020 is a wonderful vehicle. It is a wonderful vehicle because of the great safety ratings, the zero gravity seats, and the turbo engine. I enjoy the ease of navigating through traffic with the safety features provided. Whenever you get close to a car or any object, the car sensors beep to let you know. I also really like the back up camera for pulling out a tight spots. My car even came equipped with remote start which is wonderful for those cold winter mornings.

Joey D on May 25, 2021

2020 Nissan Altima, incredible value for entry level price.

Just purchased this vehicle two months ago and love it. Rides/drives very smoothly for an entry level vehicle. I have owned more luxury brands before that didn't feel as nice on the road. Very reliable and great fuel economy, which is key. If you want a great car and a great price, the Altima is the way to go.

Avy H on May 17, 2021

Amazing gas mileage, luxurious but affordable.

It is an amazing vehicle. It is very good for long road trips. It is push to start. It is extremely reliable. Nissan is the best kind of car to buy. The gas mileage is amazing, especially for a college student like me! I couldn't have found a better car plus the rates are amazing and the Altima has unbeatable prices.

Kiara A on May 10, 2021

It's a great car. I love Bluetooth in car.

It's okay we haven't really gotten to use it but it's real good does not take much gas its got installed USB port, shows backup stuff so you don't wreck. I think it's got plenty of room it's also got the ability to start just by pushing a button!I think it's got good amount of storage.It's also got seat warmers and can lean back you can connect your Altima to your phone via Bluetooth and use it so you can play music and answer your calls.

Rashia P on May 9, 2021

My vehicle has an option to start why you are still inside your house.

It runs great. I love the spacing of the back seats and the touch screen of the front monitor. Its performance is top of the line and the gas mileage is amazing. It has a push start which is covenant along with the option to start your vehicle from inside so it is warm or cool when you get inside.

victoria B on May 9, 2021

This is the absolute perfect car for starting a small family!

My fiance and I got the 2020 Nissan Altima about two weeks ago from the Nissan plant in canton Mississippi. His dad works for Nissan so he lets us lease a new car each year. This one is our final one before we buy a car next year and I am glad this could be the last car because it's perfect for us!

Jessica C on May 6, 2021

Amazing features and an amazing price.

The 2020 Nissan Altima 2.5 sr is amazing. The safety features are great for busy commuters. These features are also great for new drivers. This car has great gas mileage. There flat screen display is also a great feature. I suggest setting up your mobile phone to your car because of the new safety features you are less likely to become distracted by your phone.

Amanda R on May 5, 2021

All features gives it a comforting feel fulfilling expectations.

My car is quiet and runs perfectly. With a keyless feature is a godsend. Never having to look for your keys is a real classy feature besides all the bells and whistles give the car a comfortable feel.So far we have not had a problem and it is reliability lives up to the performance you're looking for. It is worth the value and then some. And I have been extremely happy with my choice in this car. Would recommend if asked what car is most worthy of its excellent performance and has a high standard of what a car should be. It is given me such satisfaction and fulfills all expectations.

LaTonya R on April 30, 2021

This is one customer that will be happy forever in this car.

My vehicle is amazing. It is pearl white with chrome rims that came on the car. My seats are leather. I love the fact that because they are leather it is not cold in the winter or hot seats in the summer. Nissan also threw in free oil changes for the life of the car. I feel totally safe in it because of the blind spot protector and the automatic stop if a car in front of me should suddenly stop. My favorite about this car is the gas mileage. I get great mileage. This is helpful because I like to travel. This is my 3rd Nissan and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Leone H on April 25, 2021

My new car looks like a sports car.

I like the car very much. It is much smaller than my previous car, but I needed a less expensive car payment. It handles very well and the horse power is fine. It does not have any blind spots and I feel safe in it. I like the way it looks and that is important to me.

Katelyn K on April 23, 2021

Love the all wheel drive Altima!

I have owned a Nissan for over 6 years. I had an Altima, rogue and now back to the Altima ( due to the all wheel drive. ). I love the all wheel drive. I love the features. The all wheel drive is great. My first vehicle was an Audi and they are wonderful in the snow. The Altima is extremely comparable. It is more comfortable than the rogue. I do have 3 kids in car seats, so the one thing I regret is the long back doors. I forgot all about them. I also am bummed they do not have tinted windows. I have had a few weird thing happen with sensors, but it does not affect the way the car drives or operates. I haven't brought it in, yet, because it is usually off by the next drive. I would purchase again.

Andre J on April 22, 2021

Well worth the purchase indeed.

I love it. Roomy interior, good looking exterior as well. Apply car play and Sirius XM is a huge plus. The gas mileage for the highway is extraordinary. The engine has a nice kick, not too overly powerful. It is the best car in it is category in my opinion.

Shannon M on April 22, 2021

Best invention ever must have.

As right now I have no issues. Mileage is great, gas saver, drives smooth and fast. Do not have any complaints, love all the features and gadgets plus the color and the seats are super comfortable. I wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle not even for a Benz.

Cayla B on April 20, 2021

Great car, worth the money.

Super reliable. It includes mad safety features such as parking assist, lane detection, blind spot indicators, and emergency break when you get too close to something. I also love the rear view camera super reliable. It looks super sleek too. I love the car.

Sean G on April 17, 2021

Great car would recommend.

Reliable, no issues encountered. Good mileage and love the features included. Bluetooth, Sirius included for 12 months have been a big plus. Ride is very smooth and easy to operate. Good room, comfortable seating and love the heated seats laz would recommend to any buyer.

Alexis M on April 9, 2021

The car is sedan nicely designed and compact. Perfect for a family.

I am 6’4” and I fit perfectly in this car. I have not had any issues with this vehicle. The HUD is beautiful. This car has a smooth ride and would highly recommend this car to anyone looking. Nissan always have reliable parts and service. Great gas mileage as well.

Tom R on April 6, 2021

It is all wheel drive which is nice and the blue color is appealing.

Alexis J on April 2, 2021

2020 Nissan Altima, the next level of luxury at a friendly price!

The seats are incredibly comfortable, the only thing so far I haven't loved is the center console is very shallow, so not fabulous storage there. It drives great, turns on a dime, and has a lot of safety features. It would make a great 4 person car, it would be very cramped if you had more than that.

Katy R on March 27, 2021

Best car on the market! So happy!!

I love this car. I recently switched from a competitor brand. This one has a lot more features without hurting my wallet. I feel like I am driving a luxury vehicle, so thankful I found this car. I would definitely recommend this car to friends and family!

Shane M on March 26, 2021

Seems like a luxury vehicle.

My Altima has absolutely no problems and it feels like a luxury vehicle. It is very dependable and get over 30 mpg on the highway. The ride is as smooth as you can get and not to mention an incredible sound system. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing an Altima.

Lee on March 15, 2021

Overall, its a great car.

2020 Altima 2.5 S. Overall a very great car. It drives really smooth, has pretty good kick for a 4 cyl. Not sure if its just mine, but the digital fuel gauge seems to not go higher than 362 miles even though I clearly get more than that. Sound system is not bad, but it could be better. Needs a little more *oomph. My 2014 Prius' sound system sounds better....And very roomy! Overall, I still love it, and love the looks!

Crystal B on March 13, 2021

A great reliable car on a budget.

I haven't had any problems with this vehicle. It runs very quiet and has been extremely reliable. It has the basic features that I expect in this day and age and is relatively comfortable. It is the perfect size for me as I am on the shorter side. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for a larger male or female, but my friend who is 5; 10' fits in it just fine.

Nashalie T on March 12, 2021

The most interesting detail about my car is my steering wheel.

No problems, very powerful & good acceleration. Requires low maintenance and it is reliable for a family of 5. I love it, it is like another child. Tinting for the car is free at a Nissan dealership, but we haven’t had the time for it but I do recommend to tint your windows a little bit.

stephanie M on March 11, 2021

Excellent purchase with tons of backspace.

Emily V on March 8, 2021

2020 Nissan Altima - fantastic family car.

Absolutely love my car. It is very reliable and gets great gas mileage. It is just the right size for my family of four. It drives so smooth, and it goes from 0 to 60 mph pretty fast. I would 10/10 recommend this car to anyone needing a newer small family vehicle. You will not be disappointed.

Suzanne G on March 8, 2021

Love the 2020 Altima - comfy, affordable & beautiful.

Comfortable, Bluetooth is clear & connects quickly, good on gas, sleek design. It has a sunroof that I love, heated seats & the rear seat is very roomy. It has a big trunk too. I loved my maxima & I love this Altima even more. You get a lot of value for the money.

Ashley A on March 5, 2021

Nissan is not reliable do not buy.

carter S on March 5, 2021

All around the 2020 Altima is a very reliable car.

It is a very good car, great interior and great exterior. Also gets very good gas mileage, handles perfectly. Only problem with the car is that it does not have much power. This car is great for a person that has to drive long distances for work, etc. It has the luxury you need but for a cheap price of 23,000.

Jason L on February 26, 2021

Great car for a great price love my purchase.

I thoroughly enjoy my vehicle… it does everything I want and more I wouldn't mind having the next trim package with the sunroof but other than that my vehicle is exactly what I wanted and was able to get a good price with a trade in... I would absolutely recommend my vehicle to anyone looking at it.

teresa S on February 25, 2021

Nissan Altima 2020 is a beautiful car.

Car rides smoother. Only complaint is the interior is cheaply made. Car could of been made with better quality items. Always researching before buying a vehicle. I should of checked my resources. Otherwise it's a beautiful car. It's very classy and sassy.

Zoey C on February 24, 2021

2020 Nissan Altima, great car to own. I absolutely love it!

I do not have any issues with my car so far. It runs very well, I love it! It is a great family car that runs with absolutely no issues. I love the stereo and car play for music and GPS system. It gets me from work and back and everywhere else I need to be. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone I know.

I own a 2020 Nissan Altima, a 4-door sedan that has the feel of a sports car.

I love my car. I have had no problems with it since I bought it. I had a Nissan sentra before the Altima and I liked that car, but in comparison the Altima is 10x’s better. It is a smooth drive and the car is easy to control. It is performance is great and perfect for someone who wants a sports car but still wants something relaxed and realistic.

Let's start off small and work out way up. So from slow to fast.

It's a good car especially since its super sensitive so it will not late you turn into a lane without vibrating the wheel to let you know you did not turn on your directionals. Also, its hands free so it allow you to connect your google assistant or siri to help navigation and guidelines.

A well kept secret that keeps me on the go.

I absolutely love my Altima. It not only looks like a sports car it actually drives like a sports car. It also is amazing on gas. Initially when purchasing I thought it would be extremely expensive and the insurance would high, but on the contrary it wasn’t. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

It is definitely an overall good car.

I think it is a pretty good vehicle for the price because it is not expensive to fix if there is an issue, it is very reliable and does not break down often and it looks very nice. It is also good on mileage, the interior is nice and the seats are pretty comfortable.

Like the idea of the express lane, never need to make an appointment.

Good on gas, economical and a smooth drive. Low maintenance and roomy. Enough interior and trunk space. Never had issues and this is our third leased Altima. The dealership is great to work with and always there when you need them. Love their express for minor details like oil changes.

My car is great so far! I love it!

I absolutely have no problem with my vehicle. It is great! It is an all black 2020 Nissan Altima, and it runs like a beauty. This car come with many up to date features. You can connect your cellular device to the car. When you do so, it reads your messages, answer your calls, play your desired music all under Bluetooth. The car also has a camera at the back so backing up is much easier to see. There is say so that the motor go out on these cars pretty quickly, but I had mine since February 2020 with no problem at all.

The interior has a home feel.

The Altima drives smooth, with great handling. The seats are super soft and comfortable. Love the fact that the radio screen is touch screen. The Altima is roomy, with nice interior setup. The only thing I do not like about the interior is that the roof of the car is a light color and it already has dirt on it.

I have had this car for less than a month and I love how smooth it drives.

20202 Nissan Altima is a very nice car. It drives extremely smooth and the steering wheel can literally be turned with one finger. Very roomy inside with a nice tires and very sporty. It has a very nice rear view camera, very clear image.! Great on gas, a tank and a half got me to San Antonio and back.

2020 Nissan AWD luxury look with an affordable price.

I love the way it handles quick maneuverability, great AWD feature, remote start, and love the sleek/s**y body, wheels, and finish of the car. Trunk space is smaller than my previous car, seats are not as comfortable, and takes a long time to heat or cool the car. Also the sunroof does not up very wide either.

Comfortable, spacious sedan - perfect choice!

Love this vehicle - plenty of room... Trunk is huge! I love that they have apple carplay, makes it very tech! Very comfortable and drives very well! My favorite part is how spacious this sedan is - the body is very nice! Only thing I wish I had was a sunroof but I didn't want to pay more monthly.

Sharp looking and in a great price range, loaded with features!

My Altima is very sharp with the white base color with the roof wrapped black. Gets great gas mileage, never had any issues with the car at all, pairs with iPhones, and has plenty of room to seat 5 adults comfortably. Cannot say enough good things about this car!

Nissan customer service and representation.

Nissan is super reliable. Their cars are sleek and pretty. They are super good on gas and will not dump out on you a few years down the road. Nissan cares about its customers and does everything in their power to match their customers to their cars to get peak performance.

2020 Nissan Altima 2.5sr quick review.

Andi M on January 22, 2021

2020 Nissan Altima review.

It is been a great car so far. The all wheel drive has been great since I live in Minnesota. The features in the car have been great as well. I haven't had any issues so far. The sunroof and touch screen have been my favorite features. The seats are cloth but still heated and the steering wheel is heated which is amazing in the winter.

Brooklyn B on January 18, 2021

Best car and only car I ever want.

This car is amazing. I do not think I'll ever PNW anything other than a Nissan. It comes with a lifetime warranty, rear cameras, smart detection sensor, and so many other amazing safety features. I would gladly have my kids learn on this car. Safe, comfortable, and affordable.
