Nissan Altima Features and Interior

What the 2.5 S Trim Includes

The 2.5 S is the entry-level Altima trim, but Nissan doesn't leave buyers with a bare-bones experience. You can expect features like a 7-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, automatic emergency braking, rear backup camera, lane departure warning, and Nissan's Intelligent Forward Collision Warning — all standard on this generation. The interior is comfortable for five passengers, with a spacious rear seat that outclasses many competitors in this class. Cloth seating, dual-zone manual climate control, and a clean, driver-focused dashboard round out a practical and pleasant cabin.

Nissan Altima Reliability and Ownership

The tenth-generation Altima, launched for the 2019 model year, addressed many criticisms of earlier generations. The 2020 model year in particular benefits from a fully redesigned platform featuring a stiffer body structure, updated suspension geometry, and refined NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) controls compared to its predecessor. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports have consistently rated this generation of Altima favorably for dependability. Common ownership expenses are modest — oil changes, brake pads, tires, and the occasional air filter are the typical maintenance items. The CVT transmission has a reputation for smoothness, though keeping up with fluid changes is important at higher mileage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2020 Nissan Altima a good buy?

Yes — the 2020 Altima is widely regarded as one of the more reliable and well-rounded midsize sedans in its class. It offers strong fuel economy, a comfortable interior, and a solid suite of standard safety features that were ahead of many competitors at this price point.
 

Is 118,000 miles too many on a 2020 Nissan Altima?

Not necessarily. The 2.5-liter engine in the Altima is known for durability, and many examples reach 180,000 to 200,000 miles with consistent maintenance. At this mileage, it's smart to review service records and consider a pre-purchase inspection, but high mileage alone shouldn't disqualify this vehicle.
 

What does the Altima 2.5 S trim include?

The 2.5 S trim includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, rear backup camera, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Nissan's ProPilot Assist-ready platform. It's the base trim but comes well-equipped compared to competitors at the same level.
 

How is the Nissan CVT transmission at high mileage?

CVT transmissions require regular fluid maintenance to stay healthy. At higher mileage, it's worth confirming that fluid changes have been performed. A well-maintained CVT on the 2020 Altima should provide smooth, reliable operation. If the fluid has been neglected, that's a negotiating point to keep in mind.

The 2020 Altima 2.5 S is EPA-rated at approximately 28 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, making it one of the more fuel-efficient options in the midsize sedan segment — a big plus for daily commuters in Southern California.
