What's New for the 2026 Nissan Altima?
The 2026 model year brings changes to the Altima's lineup, with the S and SL trims no longer available. In their place, Nissan has added the new SV Special Edition and SR Midnight Edition, both of which offer drivers modern technology and distinctive design enhancements.
What Are the 2026 Altima Trims & Features?
Nissan offers the 2026 Altima in four trim levels: SV, SV Special Edition, SR, and SR Midnight Edition. The Altima SV is now the series' entry-level trim and features a 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display, an 8.0-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, and push-button ignition with the Nissan Intelligent Key.
The SV Special Edition stands out with its 17-inch black alloy wheels and dual exhaust finishers. It also includes premium amenities like a power sunroof, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen display.
The Altima SR features exclusive 19-inch wheels and a unique grille for a powerful presence on the road. It also comes with a sport-tuned suspension that further improves the vehicle's handling. At the top of the line sits 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 new Altima is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Power is managed by a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). While front-wheel drive is standard, available all-wheel drive optimizes grip for those driving in challenging road conditions.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Altima Include?
Standard on every 2026 Altima is Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of advanced safety technologies. This 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 can also opt for the 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor and ProPILOT Assist, which helps make highway driving even less stressful.
