2025 Nissan Altima

The Altima's silhouette communicates clarity of purpose. From the base trim upward, every model carries the signature V-Motion grille. It’s a distinctive, sweeping statement of Nissan’s evolving design language. LED headlights and signature daytime running lights cut a sharp figure, lending the Altima a presence that's sleek but assertive. The SV adds visual flair with darkened accents, a rear spoiler, and 17-inch alloy wheels, while the SR steps into bolder territory. Dressed optionally in Tactical Green Metallic and riding on 19-inch bronze aluminum-alloy wheels, the SR evokes something closer to a performance aesthetic. The SL, meanwhile, leans gracefully into its upscale demeanor, offering polished chrome accents, a glass moonroof, and a look that effortlessly fits into the executive lot or Del Rio’s refined neighborhoods.

Underneath its tailored design, the 2025 Altima is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four, producing 188 hp and 180 lbs.-ft. of torque. It’s mated to Nissan’s seamless Xtronic CVT®, which rewards smooth inputs with equally smooth acceleration. This pairing is impressively efficient, delivering up to 39 mpg on the highway—more than enough for the long stretches between San Antonio and Del Rio. But numbers only tell part of the story.

Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system provides real-time power distribution between axles, offering added confidence whether you're tackling rain-soaked roads in the spring or dust-covered gravel in the summer. There’s a nuanced agility to how the Altima handles corners, too. An independent rear suspension keeps the ride composed and comfortable, while Intelligent Trace Control applies subtle braking to individual wheels for a more stable, confident arc through curves. Whether darting through traffic or coasting toward the Amistad Reservoir, the Altima feels sure-footed, refined, and ready.

Step inside, and the interior reveals itself as a quiet sanctuary tailored for both driver and passengers. Nissan’s Zero Gravity front seats, inspired by space-age biomechanics, provide a fatigue-reducing perch for long journeys. SL models elevate the ambiance with leather-appointed, heated seats, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel—a true luxury in the winter chill or early morning starts. Chrome and carbon-fiber accents frame the dashboard, while ambient lighting and soft-touch materials create a cabin that feels more upscale than its segment suggests. Tech integration is elegantly handled. The SL model places a 12.3-inch touchscreen at the center of the dash, supporting both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, with wireless connectivity standard. An intuitive 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist® Display provides real-time information without clutter or distraction. Voice command functionality via Siri® Eyes Free and Google Assistant responds fluidly, while wireless charging and NissanConnect® services ensure your devices stay powered and your journey uninterrupted. For families, the spacious second row and the trunk is expandable to more than 58 cubic feet. The Altima handles cargo with ease, whether it's groceries from Del Rio’s market or gear for a weekend escape.

Safety is intrinsic to the Altima’s identity. Every model comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a comprehensive suite that includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist are seamlessly integrated, while Rear Automatic Braking provides peace of mind during tight parking maneuvers. For those who spend time on Texas highways, the available ProPILOT Assist is a revelation. This semi-autonomous system helps manage highway speed, distance, and lane centering, it’s particularly helpful during traffic-heavy drives along Loop 79 or beyond. Built with Nissan’s signature zone body construction and a comprehensive airbag system, the 2025 Altima doesn’t just protect, it anticipates.
