The 2023 Nissan Altima will come with the same powertrain configurations as before but gains better safety tech and improved infotainment on some models.<\/p>\n

A few tech alterations, combined with some overall touchups, give you a sharper and sleeker-looking 2023 Nissan Altima<\/a>. The facelift surely helps with the aesthetic \u2014 the sedan now features a more aggressive front fascia, new wheel designs, and two new exterior colors. However, the 2023 Altima doesn\u2019t come with other improvements on the body \u2014 it\u2019s purely a cosmetic thing.<\/p>\n

Notably, the large V-motion grille adds a more defined sportier look, along with a redesigned Nissan<\/a> logo branding. Although the headlight shape remains the same, a new bulb compensates for removing the lights from the lower duct, including the fog lights. The headlights now also feature LED DRLs for a more modern appearance. Meanwhile, the new colors are Gray Sky Pearl and Garnett Pearl Metallic.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the 2023 Nissan Altima will be available in eight grades: S FWD, SV FWD, SV AWD, SR FWD, SR AWD, SL FWD, SL AWD, and SR VC-Turbo FWD. Certain features and designs are exclusive to their respective trims; for example, out of the four new aluminum-alloy wheel designs, the Altima SV gets a 17-inch wheel, while the SR, SL, and SR VC-Turbo feature 19-inch wheel designs.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Altima will retain the same powertrains, with a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder producing 188 hp and a 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo producing 248 hp. The latter is a better option if you are an enthusiast driver, as it also comes with a unique suspension tuning. Sadly, though, Nissan only offers it in front-wheel-drive form. If you want all-wheel-drive, you\u2019ll need to opt for the underpowered entry-level engine. Another letdown might be Nissan\u2019s Xtronic CVT, which is great for fuel efficiency, but not for performance or reliability.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the cabin got some useful upgrades, including a larger 12.3 touchscreen infotainment with new software and graphics available on select models. The system also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and features Nissan\u2019s Door-to-Door navigation.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Altima is big on safety, too, with a standard Safety Shield 360. The package includes automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, automatic rear braking, lane departure warning, radar-based blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and high beam assist. If you opt for the SL or SR-VC Turbo models, though, you can get the \u2018ProPILOT Assist\u2019 system that keeps the Altima centered in the lane while also carrying out deceleration and acceleration duties.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Nissan Altima will be available in dealerships statewide from this fall.<\/p>\n
