Overview & Reviews

The 2013 Nissan Altima sedan has been fully redesigned. The exterior and interior are completely new, with a focus on a more upscale look and feel throughout. Important engineering revisions markedly improve fuel economy, particularly for four-cylinder models, while updated suspension and steering designs maintain the Altima's reputation as one of the market's best-handling family sedans. The coupe remains mechanically unchanged, but loses its optional V6 and is reduced to only a single 2.5 S trim level.

• User-friendly electronics
• Strong acceleration and fuel economy for both engines
• Smooth and quiet ride
• Rewarding handling
• Comfortable front seats
• Solid interior quality.

• Altima coupe has lower mpg ratings.
• Tight rear headroom
• CVT can be overeager during moderate acceleration, resulting in excess noise from four-cylinder engine

  Great Car for the money. - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By edman86 - February 1 - 7:04 pm

  Great car we bought this car as a comuter car to work. Mostly HWY driveing and MTNs. We did have a issue with the brake light coming on and off for the first 1200 miles took it in twice they could not find the problem with it. Now it has gone away. The car does make a rattling niose in the wind also the interior has a rattle. The new CVT transmission works great no problems. The car feels solid very well made. I would buy again. We have 12000 miles on it!!!

  MPG not as Advertised - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By mpgreview - January 29 - 5:16 pm

  The major issue is that we are getting 23 to 25 MPG in the City and no better than 30 to 32 on the Highway. This falls far short of the rated 27/38 that is heavily promoted by Nissan. I did a lot of research on this before buying to make sure there weren’t any issues with stated MPG. I don’t believe anyone is getting over 27 in the city unless they are doing a lot of coasting. Nissan has looked at the vehicle 3 times and as of the last visit said they also got 23 MPG but found no mechanical issues with the vehicle. The dealer recommended that I contact Nissan Consumer Affairs. They said that temperature and using the A/C will reduce MPG. Car should be rated for 25/30 at best.

  NEVER BUY A NEW ALTIMA. - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By Debra Yeoman - January 19 - 3:52 am

  So disappointed. Saved to buy this car for my 16 year old daughters birthday. Shes now in tears because 6 months later its a piece of crap that wont run. The CVT transmission shutters and shakes and it dies at low speeds or when put into park. Of course it just went off warranty. Ive talked to others thats replaced them 2-3 times. Please Nissan , come on and admit your car is defective. How many people have to did first??????

  you know the story, bad transmission!!! - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By Manuel Espinoza - January 19 - 3:44 am

  I bought my car in June 2013 and went on trip immediately after. It did really good and I was impressed, I also owned a 1999 Altima (manual trans) and it went 370K miles on the original engine and transmission. This 2013 had to have the transmission replaced at 34K miles and the new transmission at 45K behaves pretty much the same as the previous transmission. Whether the problem is the alternator or the transmission, Nissan should stand behind their product and correct the issues at n o expense to the customer. A Nissan mechanic told me that since Renault bought Nissan the quality has been diminishing on their products and it shows not sign of getting better. I am in the process of getting rid of my Altima and getting an Accord with manual transmission. I will never buy Nissan again, not because of the transmission, but for their lack of care in solving a known issue to them.

  Overrated - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By trun - January 17 - 8:14 pm

  Car looks great from the outside but as soon as you step foot on the inside, it is a piece of crap. I had a 2009 Altima and regret every day that I ever traded it in for a 2013. The back up camera is absolutely atrocious! You cant even see out of it. There is a rattling in the roof that will not stop. The navigation is horrible. My 2009 navigation/camera system was WAY better than this horrible 2013. When I brought it to Nissan with these complaints they said that I needed to check my surroundings anyways and basically admitted this camera was pointless. I am VERY disappointed with this purchase. I will not buy a Nissan again because of the swindling I felt like I had received.

  Upset With My Altima - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By tom1945 - January 13 - 8:33 am

  My Altima has a voice recognition system that is not compatable with my phone. In addition, my spouse weighs a little over 100 lbs so we have a warning light always on to indicate the air bag is off. I have complained to the dealer and Nissan and have been told that both systems are operating correctly. I feel anyone looking to purchase an Altima should check first to make sure their phone is compatable and also be aware if you plan on driving with anyone who is not 110+ lbs.

  Issue at High Speed - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By ferice - December 31 - 2:59 am

  I have a 2013 Altima 2.5s. I feel as though I am loosing control of the car when I reached 65 MPG and up. I am scared that I will cause a serious accident because I dont feel like I have control of the car at times. The car is also wobble when driving on the expressway at a lower speed. I am wondering if anyone else is experience the same issue. Ive driven my wife ford fusion for a month, and I have never had that issue

  After 50K miles I am happy - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By aterces - November 30 - 6:48 pm

  I purchase the car on Oct 2012, and after 50,000 miles I can say that I am happy with my purchase, havent had a single problem with the car and has been very reliable. I did have an issue with a weird noise coming from the engine I took it to the dealer and it was the alternator but it was replace free of charge since I was under warrantee no problems after that. The gas mileage is very good, I avg between 30-32 miles

  headlights - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By shelly30 - November 8 - 10:14 pm

  I bought a 2013 Nissan Altima sedan back in November. I traded my 2012. I noticed that whenever the headlights are on that there is a smudgy place, which later found out it is a shadow from the lamp. I did talk to my dealership and they said all the headlights were like that. I called and reported it to consumer affairs nissan. She wrote up a case number and all and asked me to send pictures. I did that and she sent them to the engineering department. She called me back and told me that its the lamp and that theres no solution to correcting this as of right now. My question is did whoever make this car not look at it before sending it out on the market. You buy a brand new car
