- Reliability (4)Nissan Altimas generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the 2019 model is expected to follow suit. Major powertrain components are typically robust, though some minor electrical issues can occasionally arise.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs for the Altima are generally affordable, with parts readily available and service centers widespread. Routine oil changes and tire rotations are straightforward and not overly expensive.
- Technology (4)The infotainment system is user-friendly with an intuitive interface and standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. ProPILOT Assist is a valuable addition, offering effective semi-autonomous driving features for highway cruising.
- Comfort (4)The Zero Gravity seats are a highlight, providing excellent comfort on long drives. The ride quality is generally smooth, absorbing most road imperfections well, contributing to a pleasant cabin experience.
- Dynamics (3)The 2019 Altima 2.5 Platinum offers decent handling for a mid-size sedan, feeling stable on highways, but it lacks the sporty engagement found in some rivals. The CVT, while improved, can still feel a bit uninspired under hard acceleration.
