Test Drive the 2021 Nissan Altima in Cathedral City, CA

As you can see from the table above, the 2021 Nissan Altima despite costing a few extra thousands, gives better engine specs as compared to the 2021 Honda Civic. The 2021 Nissan Altima is available in five different trim levels: S, SV, SR, SL, and Platinum, to name a few. To begin with, every model comes with a basic 2.5L four-cylinder engine that generates up to 188 HP for FWD models and 182 HP for AWD variants, respectively. However, a 2.0L VC-Turbo turbo-four with 248 HP and 273 lb.-ft. of torque is available for the SV grade (with premium fuel). Only front-wheel drive vehicles may use this engine. The SR VC-Turbo variant has paddle shifters as well as the VC-Turbo engine. Both engines come with the Xtronic CVT®. The EPA estimates of the 2021 Nissan Altima are 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway.
