He is my number one choice for vehicle reviews. My second would be Redline Reviews. But that's just my preference.

8:46, I like the idea that you always find a song titled as the vehicle name when you show the infotainment system!!

It blows my mind that this car is so much larger than the legacy, but it’s wiped off the map by the legacy in combined legroom and 2nd row headroom. This car is pure rental spec in any trim.

I’d take the Camry. Especially considering the fact that not only is AWD coming for the 4 cyl, but with that combo it’ll be the only non cvt midsize AWD sedan in America. This will eat Nissan Altima sales for lunch

Excellent video. What a wonderfully informative and detailed review! Loved the suitcase test, and all the other little details. Finally someone who does more than stomp the throttle and tell us how "disappointed" they are at the car's steering near the redline. Much love and respect..

Excellent review, I purchased a 2019 awd Scarlett Altima SL in March of 2022. It was a lease return with 29,000 miles, very happy with the 32 mpg, ride and looks...

I can't wait for your new Legacy review!

I love your comparison tables!

This will be my dream car!! Nice job Alex.

I wish manufacturers would make more economy based coupes. You get a lot of people buying vehicles like this for themselves and it proves due to how compact the back seat is, yet its 4 doors and designed around being a sedan. At this point just make it two door, give it bigger doors and you would still have a reasonable back seat for when you need it. Coupes are so much nicer for a single driver it sucks they are either very expensive or muscle cars

Four years ago today, I'm now considering to buy one as my very first sedan of course bro!

Excellent reviews well done sir.

About the seats: in China Nissan is called ‘sofa factory’ just because of those comfortable cushions!

The problem isn't traction in the winter, with a car that has all wheel drive, you run into ground clearance issues when it starts snowing a lot, so don't think you're going to drive a car in a big snowstorm compared to an SUV.

I have this same car but in black..great looking, great AWD and great MPG..

Alex, thanks so much for speaking up to #SaveHeadroom . This Altima has the worst headroom in a class of cars already notorious for shortchanging tall occupants. What exactly is the point of a mid-size sedan that cannot accommodate adult rear seat passengers? Once again, we are being forced into SUVs if we want any #practicality whatsoever in a modern vehicle.

Hey Alex, I would like to see more talking, comparison on lane keep assist systems. How smooth, dependable are they ?

Front-end reminds me of a Peugeot. In a good way. Well done Nissan.

*Sees AWD and Nissan in the title with a picture of a sedan* Ah shit, here we go again...

Alex, always enjoy your vids. If you don't know me I do not question that, I plan to get a Model Y in the next 1-3 years. My Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Lease ends Fall 2020. Anyway, I always like the cargo comparisons you do, but not many try to fit in 30" suitcases. I am just off a trip where I had a 2019 Altima and overall I quite pleased with it. I was able to push back in the trunk two 30" suitcases lying down and a couple backpacks where the truck closes so it fit. Sonata I tried in 2018 did not fit. Fusion forget it especially on a hybrid, probably cannot get in 1 30". Would you ever consider getting a couple 30" suitcases to fit in vehicles? I still think I want a crossover, but this 2020 AWD Altima really felt pretty good. I had a base trim so no brake or maybe that is new for 2020 and that is a super feature, all cars should have it. Thanks and take care!

As I noticed in the trim level section the top trim can be equipped with wider tires for better handling than your tester and has active noise cancellation so it might be quieter than an accord. I don't think the cvt is a problem for a lease and Honda also uses them so I don't think they are as unreliable as people say

The one reviewed is a 2019 model right? They changed some trim peaces on the interior.

Personally, The Legacy for 2020 M.Y. would be my preference.

@oldsnwbrdr

Agree. The interior of the Legacy is a much nicer place to be.

I have a JATCO CVT in my Suzuki at 125k miles, 10 years old, and zero problems. I can not say any thing bad about them for the reliability its given. Maybe that's there good CVT. I know they use the same one in Outlander/Outlander Sport. Outlander Sports are very reliable too I hear. JATCO JFO11E is a good one.

do you have an opinion on the long term reliability of the Subaru turbo engine and potential cost of repair?

Ok I’ll admit, that title was clever

Nissan really really stepped it up

I work at a Kia store and I find it ironic how Kia is charging more now but yet.. the price on something like this and what you get for it..

Alex... what is the most comfortable front seat in this price range? Thanks again

Here is a fan request. Please please do a detailed comparison of all new 2020 Subaru Legacy and Nissan Altima in the absolute Base models, no options added except the AWD for Altima, with their most Base version infotainment systems and custom tyres. Please I hope you can somehow manage to do that. That will be a really good comparison. And please don't go for the price equivalent version of Legacy to match Altima, that would kill the whole purpose. Just both the cars in their absolute Base versions.

Would there be a big difference in road and tire noise in regards to choosing 17 or 19 inch tires?

I wish that AWD sedans were the cure for the rise of the CUV/SUV crossovers; but the relatively weak sales of Subaru Impreza and Legacy vs very strong sales of the Subaru Crosstrek/Forester/Outback trifecta prove that AWD will not be a ultimate cure. Practicality is still a big factor, being able to sleep comfortably in your car’s cargo space is valuable to many. Additionally, in a world of diesel rolling coal lifted pickup trucks and road rage, an SUV will always be a bit safer in a crash than a lower sedan with less mass. Best case scenario? Other manufacturers take a page out of the Subaru Crosstrek/Outback’s book: Step 1, turn a beautiful compact sedan into a stylish compact hatchback. Step 2, lift that hatchback to match SUV height and lean into off-road ability. Step 3, make good on the off-road promise by offering a strong AWD option. Step 4, profit. An optional Step 5 to steal the hearts of wealthier new car buyers? Add a 250hp+ option with a V6 or Twin Turbo I4 engine. Soccer moms and soccer dads would love it.

Fun fact: Car and Driver tested a Nissan Altima and a BMW 330i on the skidpad and the Altima pulled 0.93 g’s while BMW pulled 0.89 g’s. Just thought I’d throw that out there

The Altima is a nice rental car. Incredible gas mileage with no start stop. Base engine has decent pep. Great tech in the SL, stereo, easy controls. Rides well, reasonably quiet. Good (unnoticeable) CVT. I would not buy one though, it’s too cheap-feeling, the interior is plain, and the seat cushion has too little thigh support. I’d lean towards the legacy, but the base engine feels underpowered.

These people don't lie.Nissans cvt has problems.

Thanks for the review, can you comment on the cvt in this car in comparison to its predecessor. Is it same or improved ?

And I have to say compared to previous Toyotas I've had the cabin is way less rattly than any of those wore at the same mileage. The difference might be in powertrain longevity. My dad's driving my previous '07 Camry which now has around 200k. The engine sounds like it's gonna live forever. But the Nissan (usually) sells for a couple thousand less than the competition, so maybe it's worth it? It is a very comfortable cruiser.

Well unfortunately when we bought our Altima SR (loaded) the salesman where we went knew very little about the car...even though he said he owned the same model, there were things he didn't know. AND we would have spent more and gotten the AWD had he told there was one... in fact he missed a chance at a great commission as we would have bought a more upgraded trim... such as the AWD Platinum perhaps or the SV.... anyway we do love the car, and it has many amenities- just wished we'd known more about options, as he wasn't very interested in exploring upgraded trims. Nor was he aware of some of the options in the car we bought. I knew more than he did..... (not this reviewer BTW-) it was a totally different dealership and state. If he'd known half of what this guy knows it would have been good.

It seems odd that the Nissan Altima only offers all-wheel drive with the base engine. With more weight and friction it would make sense to offer it with the turbo. There must be some conflict with their current CVT or something.

@bw6415

5 жыл бұрын

Actually it’s not an issue with the CVT, but an issue with demand. Most people will not buy the Turbo over the 2.5 due to costs. I would personally love to see an 2.0T/AWD offered, but there just isn’t a business case for it. With more people buying crossovers over sedans, Nissan puts the money into them. Till sedans start selling stronger things probably won’t change.

The turn signal indicators are unfortunately filament bulbs. 2:29

Taillights should've been LED. Interior is better then previous models, but not up there with the Accord.

This Altima is way cheaper then the Camry Se with this top trims ? Wow

As someone who lives in Michigan and has had AWD, RWD and FWD vehicles, honestly you don’t need AWD. Realistically, good snow tires or good tires period are a better investment. I had an S55 AMG years ago, RWD with Dunlop SP sports tires and drove it one time in the snow and ice and it was hell and dangerous but it still made it.

I think the C-pillar's Floating Roof black trim piece is a well-thought-out and cohesive design endeavor which ties the Alti to other Nissan models. It shines in comparison to the Camry XSE's much cheaper quality paint-only roof separation. Shade thrown at the Camry!

The Altima was top of the line and it was loaded, my wife really liked the colour ( Sunset Drift ). The safety technology was second to none, great features, the car came equipped with a Winter wheel package which was installed. The wheel package was a set of Firestone winter tires on very nice alloys, the regular wheels were Hancook GT low profile 19" tires also on very sharp alloys. The Mazda was front wheel drive while the Altima was all wheel drive, the Altima seats were more comfortable by far. The price of the Altima Platinum, $ 36885.00 a difference of $ 4181.00 ,,, all in all it was a no brainer. We had it on the highway for the first time last week, it ran perfectly, the CVT that many criticize shifted as smooth as silk, the 2.5 engine has all the power we would ever need. Very nice job Nissan, we just love our new wheels ,,

joseph lemons up here in Canada you could get ACP/AA for the Mazda3. Retrofit obviously

@13:17 0-60 in 7.3 seconds The above is not very good, and it is due to the Altima being a pig from a standing start. Nissan de-tuned the engine, to prevent a fast start. To achieve better fuel economy? To help bad drivers? Who knows? Once the Altima gets moving (maybe around 25 MPH), then it has very good acceleration. Most of the time, it is not a problem. But if you are, for example, in the left lane, waiting at a light, and you realize that you need to make a right at the next light... forget about trying to get ahead of the car to your right. @16:44 The SR style of the Altima handles very good; almost no lean and no tire squeal (those 19" low profile tires and beefy suspension work well). You can take turns at speed, and the car will behave better than you probably think. I am not suggesting that anyone drive like a nut. But there is no other way to describe how stable the SR is on taking corners. It is no Ferrari, but it is very good. Not mentioned in the review is that the stereo is nothing special. It is borderline good. Nissan dropped the ball on providing a well balanced, realistic sounding stereo. Cheers!

The slower launch from a standstill might help with torque steer or strain on the CVT

Cars dont have bumpers anymore, no meat on the tires, plastic and thinned out interiors, wheres the beef?

Give us manual transmission

A 7 speed with the optional overdrive

AWD versions of the Fusion are more expensive, because the Fusion AWD system is superior to the others. It does a much better job of ensuring wheels with traction get power.

Why would nissan require more maintenance? Both have similarily normally asperated engines and cvt and you say AWD systems are alike.

what u can do, Nissan have signed a contract with Jatco company and invested hundreds of millions of dollars into it so they have to put CVT in their cars, Nissan knows that people hate CVT but they need their money back so they wont stop doing in it, me personally I owned 2 cars with CVT the first was 2013 Altima V6, I hated that transmission but didn't blow up like the new generation of Maxima I had, the CVT blow up at 27K, such a disaster transmission and very poor reliability, will never ever buy car with CVT but to each their own ofc.

The cvt is fantastic. Led lightbulbs and smart phones weren't that great in 2013 either. Stay stuck in 2013 while I'm enjoying the best gas mileage smooth ride and best new car deal in my life.
