The Altima received a full facelift in 2019, sporting a major overhaul that immediately put the Nissan sedan back in the midsize-segment fray. The adjustments in 2020 are few and far between, but some are still pretty important.
There are 2 engines. A 2.5-liter naturally aspirated I4 gas engine making 188 horsepower and 180 lbft of torque with front wheel drive, but adding all-wheel drive ($1,350) drops those numbers to 182 and 178, respectively. No matter the number of driven wheels, CVT is standard.
If you're after something with more performance, the SR and Platinum trims can be equipped with Nissan's VC-Turbo engine. This 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine power rises to 248 hp and 273 lb-ft, but it's only available with front-wheel drive.
Efficiency is pretty darn solid for both cars. Low-trim 2.5-liter cars are EPA-rated at 28 miles per gallon city and 38 mpg highway, while moving up to the SR or Platinum trim drops those numbers to 27 and 37, respectively. Adding all-wheel drive on the base trims lowers those numbers further, to 26 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, while AWD SR and Platinum models fall further, to 25 city and 35 highway.
The VC-Turbo is the least efficient variant of all, but only barely. At 25 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, it's a small price to pay for having a little more fun.
