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 All Around - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By hondaccord09 - October 19 - 2:50 am

  My past life was a Honda owner. I decided to purchase the new 2013 Altima 2.5 SV over the Accord EX. Honda owners tend to stick with Honda for whatever reasons. They both have the same features including CVT transmission, except the EX has moon roof, which I never use. By this comparison, the Accord EX is more expensive and the look on both cars is equally nice, depending on the color you choose. The Altima is an overall all around car with better MPG and acceleration, and drives smoothly and quietly on the road. The car is lighter and the ride is firm. One of the main reasons I switched from the Accord is because of its loud cabin noise.

  The best car Ive owned!!!! - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By Steve - July 15 - 8:45 am

  Ive done my research. This is by far one of the best cars to own the best that I have owned. Only major thing I hate and think it should be recalled is the passenger air bag sensor. My wife is average built somethings the air bag will say air bag off I have to pull over an restart my car for it to go back on. Other then that I really love this car! Mpgs I almost forgot. Very good 40mpg on highway 33 all around and about 30 if its city.

  Excellent Purchase - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By kcee2 - May 7 - 11:47 am

  Love my purchase! Aesthetically pleasing interior for the price, exceeding expectations. The instrument panel is easy to read and the layout is relaxed and comfortable. Because of the remote starter, Im okay without heated/cooled seats. The 7 in monitor/navigation screen is pretty awesome and so is the zero-gravity seating. Its all really cool, including the performance. In fact, my sedan actially drives better (to me) than the 2012 and 2013 coupe version, which I drove exclusively the last two years.

  34K and still great! - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By svalent2 - February 24 - 3:17 pm

  Overall its a really great car, Ive only needed regular maintenance. The pep is there when I need it especially when merging onto highways or zooming around idiots in the city that dont use their signals. I average about 29.5 with all city and about 33 mixed. Very comfortable and lots of storage space. I have experienced the "shutter/vibration" of the transmission, about 3 times since Ive had the car (34k miles btw) at about 40 mph coasting for about a minute long. Its very distracting and doesnt feel too good during that minute but its so rare that it even happens that it doesnt bother me too much. If it happened all the time I could see why some would trade it.

  Very impressed - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By iwidisky1 - February 5 - 7:13 pm

  I have been a Lincoln Town Car owner for over 30 years. When Lincoln discontinued the Town Car I was very dissapointed, and did not like the newer Lincolns. I leased an Altima 2013 S for my Wife, and was very impressed by the ride and the gps, and the ride. She gave up a Lincoln sl 2005. I decided to get one for myself, and traded a Lincoln Town car 2007. Best move I ever made. The Altima 2013 SV that I now own is amazing I took a trip from Florida to Mass. and back and used a little less than five tanks of gas. The ride was as good as the Lincoln and half the cost. Great car have no complaints. Want a good car buy this one.

  2013 Altima 3.5 SV - 2013 Nissan Altima
  By fridaypm2002 - October 10 - 4:35 pm

  I test drove a 3 series BMW, 4 series Audi, and the Sonata. Decided on the Altima 3.5SV. Came with all the bells and whistles, but at reasonable price when compared with BMW and Audi. The fit and trim is excellent. The car feels more expensive than it costs. The Sonata, although also very nice looking did not handle as well as the Altima 3.5 SV. Chose cloth over leather for comfort. Gets hot where I live. Test drove the 2.5 Altima. No comparison to the 3.5 for pep and go. The Altima 3.5 is very compariable to the pep of BMW and Audi. Highly recommend the Altima 3.5.
