the dealer told me where it was. it does make a difference. acceleration gets faster. it also drains the fuel faster.

Sport mode will downshift when it detects hard braking to help you slow down.

In my car sport mode I can manually up shift and down shift major difference

A fun fact about Sports mode on the Altima SR is that it allows you to use the paddleshifter at any speed. For the most part, Nissans with paddleshifters like the Rogue and Pathfinder have to be moving at like 10-15 MPH before you can start choosing gears with the paddleshifter.

I bought a 2023 Nissan Altima SR Premium Sedan. SR. The same button is just behind the shifter. Mine works great . I do feel a difference. No its not a turbo. However. It gives a little extra boost on the highway . Close to a turbo mode if you will. My last car did have a turbo. I do miss it. Hit the dam button and floor it. Lol😂😂. Its all good. Ok didnt know it was there either. Lol. I do now. Press it and go like hell. Mine works. 😮

Sport mode helps with the shifting and keeps you In high rpm when slowing down so you can accelerate any time

All it does in the rogues is hold the rpms for a second or 2 longer before the step down

Its that sa.e way in my 2020 Nissan kicks

I drove a rogue sport after this and it was soooo slow! I can only imagine the kicks!

I rented a car on my most recent trip to visit friends in Arizona and the Altima was what I got. I didn’t even know a sports driving mode was ever a thing on these. Now I wish I could have known that to experience it first hand. Maybe it’s weak and a poor excuse for a sports mode? My actual car is a 2009 Lexus IS250. Not the fastest car either but when sports mode is activated it’s a zippy car. Paddle shifters are cool too.

My Sentra also has this. Found it the first day I got the car

the sport mode in the altima is much faster and louder

@petrolectric

Ай бұрын

Maybe in the SR, but in the base motor it’s barely noticeable difference

Does the heart make a click sound when you move it up in down? Is the DS button move, meaning is it loose?

When you go into sport mode, the driver should be able to "shift" gears or tell the car when to shift. There's no way to shift

There's nothing wrong with the sport mode. Do you know what it does? It downshifts for you when braking hard and holds the fake ratios much longer like a regular sport mode.

​@@petrolectric just because you didn't drive the car hard enough to notice a difference doesn't mean it doesn't do anything. It does. I mean it doesn't change suspension or steering but it definitely changes what the transmission drives if you double click the sport mode while flooring it at the same time when you initial put your foot on the pedal the car will downshift much more sharply and give you the quicker revs you need but you wouldn't know that.

All trims do except the base model "S". Instead of Apple CarPlay, the base model has something called Siri Eyes Free, which can do everything that CarPlay can do (using voice commands) except put your phone on the screen. So, basically the only difference is that when navigating, you have to use your phone as the navigation screen, but you still have the siri voice telling you when to turn through the car speakers.

The car is definitely not slow. If you’ve driven a base corolla, Sentra or other compact sedan those are slow. The 2.5 Altima is actually decently fast and if you are a regular person not used to driving bmws or Porsches you should have no problem at all with the power.
