The 2020 and 2021 Nissan Altima vs Older Models

2016 Nissan Altima Redesign
The new 2021 Nissan Altima has arrived at Peruzzi Nissan. The 2020 and 2021 Nissan Altima models improved upon the 2019 edition, which significantly redesigned the Altima from as far back as 2015. The 2019 Altima redesign saw the vehicle experience an extensive top-to-bottom overhaul, including the engine powering it, a redesigned exterior, new standard safety features, the Pro-Pilot semi-autonomous driving system, the NissanConnect multimedia system, and a hands-free texting app. The 2021 Nissan Altima takes the best of the 2019 redesign and offers improvements in subtle but significant areas and showing where the Altima has improved from 5 years ago.

Engine and Drive Experience

The Altima used to be defined by an engine with 182-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinders. Since the 2016 update, the Altima has featured a 2.5-liter 4 cylinder engine that generates 188 horsepower. With the intuitive AWD distributing power to all four tires when needed or to the front wheels for improved fuel economy, the Altima works to provide a superior driving experience compared to the competition. 

Exterior and Interior Upgrades 

Before the 2019 redesign, the Altima featured the same exterior stylings since 2013. Some exterior changes were made in 2016; however, 2019 brought out a much sleeker and modern design for the Altima. The redesign, marked by freshly styled headlights, taillights, and a fresh grille, shows off Nissan’s new direction. The interior featured a more upscale feel with more integrated technology options, with the 2021 model featuring Android Auto™, Nissan Door to Door Navigation, and Apple CarPlay™ integration on select models. The NissanConnect services return to help bring our interconnected digital lives into your car. 

New Standard Safety Features

The Nissan Altima has ranked at or near the top of the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rankings for years. With the introduction and continued refinement of the Nissan Safety Shield® 360, Altima drivers everywhere have experienced the array of safety features that have made the Altima one of the safest rides in its class. 

Pro-Pilot Semi-Autonomous Driving System

The most significant upgrade for the 2016 model came in the form of the tech inside the car. That trend continues with the 2021 Altima. In recent years, advancements in driver assist technology have grown by leaps and bounds. When engaged on highways, Pro-Driver Assist will help maintain a minimum safe distance from cars in front of you, adjusting for speed and traffic flow as needed. First introduced in the 2019 redesign, the 2021 model also features Pro-Driver Assist on open road driving by keeping your car centered on straightaways and through gentle curves in the road. The 2021 Nissan Altima carries all of these features- — including being an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ — and more, like the price. The 2021 Altima has base models starting at $24,300, with other options available to meet your needs. For our friends in Fallsington, trade-in loans are available to get your brand new 2021 Nissan Altima.
