2022 Nissan Altima Reliability: Performance & Fuel Efficiency

Tallahassee drivers looking for a new midsize sedan would want a ride that can take them to all of their daily commutes quickly. The 2022 Nissan Altima has a sporty, powerful engine, and not to mention, it also has a top-notch fuel economy, making it easy for you to drive around traffic. Here are some Nissan Altima reviews about this model’s performance and fuel efficiency:

• Kelley Blue Book: “Although it’s front-drive only, the biggest attraction under the Altima’s hood is the 2.0-liter VC-T engine offered at the SR level. This turbocharged unit creates 248 horsepower (with premium gas), enough muscle for some serious fun. So we’re glad that Nissan was moved to fit a sport-tuned suspension to this model as well.”
• Motor Trend: “The Altima S FWD with the 2.5-liter inline-four gets the best fuel economy of the model lineup: 28/39 mpg city/highway. It's rated as well as the 2021 Toyota Camry FWD with its 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four and much better than the 2021 Kia K5 FWD with its 2.5-liter turbo-four. The Kia is rated at 24/32 mpg.”
• Car and Driver: “The Altima doesn't offer a fuel-saving hybrid or eco-friendly plug-in-hybrid model as do many of its rivals, but its two gasoline engines have lofty fuel-economy ratings and even better real-world results… The VC-Turbo engine is rated at 25 mpg city and 34 highway. On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route—part of our extensive testing regimen—the all-wheel-drive Altima achieved an impressive 41 mpg; the VC-Turbo version recorded a notable 37 mpg.”

Nissan Altima Reliability: Safety

In addition to the performance, this Nissan sedan lineup has been rated highly for safety in previous models and the 2022 model is packed with high-tech safety features. When you sit behind this car, you can have the confidence to drive wherever your destination is in Dothan, AL. Take a look at what the experts have to comment on the Nissan Altima reliability in terms of safety below:

• Car and Driver: “While every Altima has forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, SV versions and up have standard blind-spot monitoring, high-beam assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. Nissan also offers a semi-autonomous drive mode called ProPilot Assist.”
• Motor Trend: “In NHTSA testing, the 2021 Altima received a five-star overall safety rating (complete ratings for the 2022 Altima have not yet been published). The IIHS gave the Altima 2021 Top Safety Pick+ status, its highest award.”

2022 Nissan Altima SL Reviews

If you are unsure which trim level you should get, you will need to break down the differences among the trims. One of the trims that many Pensacola drivers have their eyes on is the new Nissan Altima SL. The SL is the highest trim you can go to if you want the standard front-wheel drive. However, if you want the available all-wheel drive, the SL is not the highest trim though it is one of the top trims. This trim is definitely for those who want a luxury feel to their ride along with the right combination of interior and performance upgrades. Check out the following Nissan Altima SL reviews:

• Kelley Blue Book: “SL brings back 17-inch alloy wheels, while dispensing with the sport suspension, sport seats, and paddle shifters. This trim follows more of a luxury formula, installing convenience features like a remote start/intelligent dual-zone climate control function, leather seating surfaces, LED fog lights, heated steering wheel, heated front seats, road sign recognition, navigation, and a 9-speaker Bose audio system.”
• Motor Trend: “We like the SL AWD, as it best combines the Altima's most advanced convenience and active safety tech with a leather-trimmed interior and smaller, better-handling wheels.”
