2015 Nissan Altima SV

The 2015 Altima is Nissan's mid-size sedan, competing with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in the family-sedan segment. The Altima rides smoothly on highways and handles city streets with ease, though acceleration is modest when merging. The cabin offers generous legroom and comfortable seats, with a trunk that swallows family luggage without complaint. Standard tech includes a rearview camera and Bluetooth, and higher trims add a push-button start and larger display. Owners report years of trouble-free driving, with only occasional Bluetooth quirks and a few early recalls noted. The SV sits between the base model and the luxury-focused SL, adding keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Its 2.5L I4 makes 182 horsepower and pairs with a CVT that keeps the engine in its sweet spot, returning 31 mpg combined. The SV also comes with a remote engine start system, a rare convenience in this class that lets you warm the cabin before you get in.
