2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 S

The 2016 Nissan Altima is a midsize sedan that underwent a significant mid-cycle refresh, featuring updated styling with a new "Energetic Flow" design language, including a more muscular front fascia, Nissan’s "V-motion" grille, and boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights.
It remains competitive with rivals like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, offering a comfortable, quiet ride with good fuel economy.
The 2016 model is available in multiple trims, from the base 2.5 to the top-line 3.5 SL, with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 182 horsepower and the 3.5-liter V6 producing 270 horsepower.
Both engines use a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), with the 2.5-liter engine achieving an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city and 39 mpg highway.

The interior features a tidier, C-shaped center stack, improved sound insulation, and Nissan’s zero gravity front seats, which are praised for comfort.
Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, brake assist, stability control, and rear cross-traffic alert, with advanced features like blind-spot monitoring and predictive forward collision warning available on higher trims.
The base model includes a 5.0-inch touchscreen, while higher trims offer a 7.0-inch unit with navigation.
However, the infotainment system lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though Siri Eyes Free is available for Apple users.

The 2016 Altima offers 15.4 cubic feet of trunk space, with rear seats folding in a 60/40 split for added cargo capacity.
It is available with front-wheel drive only, and the base warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles, while higher trims offer a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.

The vehicle has a reputation for reliability and strong resale value, with a 2-year forecasted depreciation estimate available through Kelley Blue Book.
