When it comes to family vehicles, there’s an almost overwhelming number of choices. You can choose a minivan with its sliding doors and family-friendly amenities or an SUV that gives you flexible cargo space without the “mom van” stigma. Even more recently, families have shifted to trucks as their go-to vehicles as automotive manufacturers have put a broader emphasis on safety and interior functionality in their designs. Last but not least, you can stick with tradition and choose a sedan—although this might seem like the most boring option of all—that is, until you check out the 2024 Nissan Altima.
For over 30 years, Nissan has pushed the boundaries of the family sedan with its dynamic Altima option. The Altima gives you the space you need and takes style and performance to another level, giving families a functional and connected drive. It’s this style and performance that also makes the Altima an excellent choice for empty-nest drivers, commuters, and younger drivers who want a vehicle that’s dependable and fun. The 2024 Nissan Altima might just be the most well-rounded choice when it comes to sedans for the everyday driver, especially when you consider the multiple trim options available.
You can choose from the base trim, which gives you everything you need, or the turbo-charged SR version that hugs the road and puts a bit of excitement back into your morning commute. There’s even an Altima with Intelligent AWD to help you navigate regardless of where you go. At Newton Nissan of Gallatin, we offer the new Altima lineup to fit your needs. Our team can walk you through your options, considering your lifestyle, and provide the details you need to make an informed decision.
Starting at
Many things set the 2024 Nissan Altima apart from other sedans, but it's the performance factor that helps it leap to the top of the line. This is thanks to Nissan’s continued commitment to innovation and a drive to push the limits of what a sedan can offer in terms of speed, fuel, and how it feels to drive. Here are a few things that make the Altima stand out when it comes to performance:
Engine Choices: The Altima's performance is helped by the fact that it comes with two dependable engine choices: the standard four-cylinder that you can find throughout its lineup and the VC-Turbo option for the SR. The horsepower and efficiency of these engines are very well balanced, so drivers can enjoy thrilling acceleration without sacrificing fuel economy.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Nissan’s Intelligent AWD system creates a vehicle that is even more stable, especially in bad weather. Plus, the all-wheel drive makes driving more fun. The Altima's AWD system makes sure that power goes to all four wheels properly, which gives drivers better control and driving.
Innovative Gearbox Options: The Altima has gearbox options you can rely on, promising form and function each time you turn the key. Not only that, but the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) offers a smooth and efficient ride, which makes driving more enjoyable.
Advancements in Suspension and Handling: The 2024 Altima's suspension and handling are designed so that the vehicle's suspension system is both comfortable and sporty. The Altima has well-tuned shocks and struts, precise steering, and responsive handling that make it both easy to ride in and fun to drive.
Aerodynamic Design: Throughout the years, the Altima has always gained high marks for its appealing exterior design. But this design is for more than just looks. It's also designed to perform better. The Altima's smooth, aerodynamic shape helps cut down on drag, which leads to better gas mileage and more stable handling at higher speeds. This dedication to design improves the vehicle's total performance by lowering its resistance to wind.
Beyond performing well, the Altima keeps you comfortable and connected during your drive. This connection starts with the standard eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that connects seamlessly to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It offers a customizable menu, allowing you to put the apps you need front and center. This attention to detail helps you find what you want quickly while still maintaining your focus on the road ahead. Top-tiered trims, like the SL and SR, have a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with an available navigation system. This larger touchscreen is also available for the SV trim line. The Altima has available amenities like wireless phone charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more.
You’ll also notice a generous amount of leg and headroom, allowing your passengers to spread out, and premium cushioned seating with options like heated seating for chilly mornings. In addition, clever storage bins, adjustable driver’s seating with lumbar support, and illuminated interior accents add to the experience. Depending on the trim level you choose, seating options range from Sport Cloth to Leather.
You can customize the trunk of your 2024 Nissan Altima with options such as a Carpeted Trunk Area Protector, a Sliding Trunk Organizer Tray, or a Removable Tote Cargo Organizer. Need more options? Talk to our team about the Cargo Block/Stabilizers you can add that prevent the cargo in your trunk from moving around, giving you optimum organization. You’ll also enjoy the space you have in the trunk, allowing you to fit up to six carry-on bags.
The Altima is an excellent choice whether you typically stick around town or if you and your friends like to head out for weekend adventures. You’ll stay connected and comfortable throughout the drive with enough cargo space to pack what you want and pick up a few souvenirs along the way.
Nissan has long been known for building vehicles that not only perform well but also keep you and your passengers safe. Their collection of driver assist safety features is called Nissan Safety Shield 360, and it is standard in every Altima you choose. These features and how they help you stay safe on the road are detailed below.
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: This system monitors your speed and the road ahead, alerting you to objects that come into your space. Visual and audible warnings allow you to slow down to avoid a collision but also react with automatic braking if you can’t brake in time.
Rear Automatic Braking: This feature alerts you to see objects at the rear of your vehicle that you might not be able to see so that you can brake appropriately and avoid running into them. Even better? It can apply the brakes for you if you’re unable to respond in time, lessening the impact or avoiding the collision altogether.
Blind Spot Warning: Whether you’re driving around town or heading into Nashville, it can be difficult to see everything around your vehicle all at once. This is where the blind spot warning system comes in, alerting you to objects you can’t see. The visual and audible alerts warn you when something is in your space so you can maintain your position. This system is crucial when you’re trying to navigate busy roads.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Your Altima helps you avoid collisions that may occur when objects pass behind you as you’re trying to reverse. Think about the last time you backed out of a parking lot. Not only can it be difficult to see when cars are parked beside you, but vehicles and people can sometimes come out of nowhere and suddenly be behind you. This system warns you when this happens, letting you apply the brakes before a collision occurs.
Lane Departure Warning: If you happen to stray too far from the middle of your lane, this system gives you a gentle nudge to move back over, helping you avoid possible collisions. This is particularly helpful when taking long trips where your focus might start to waver and for newer drivers to help them get used to where they are on the road.
High Beam Assist: There’s no need to fumble when turning on your high beams anymore, thanks to this feature. It senses the road ahead, automatically turning the high beams on and off when needed so you can keep your entire focus on the road.
Each of these features is an excellent addition to a sedan that already offers a lot of perks for drivers. Our team can answer any questions about the Altima’s safety features or any other part of the vehicle to help you determine which one is best for you.
