Nissan has raised the Altima’s base price by $240 for 2018, to $24,025 (including destination charges), but the standard equipment list has been expanded to include Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, both of which have been made standard across the entire Altima lineup. At the other end of the 2018 Nissan Altima pricing spectrum, the V6-powered Altima 3.5 SL now starts at $34,395 – an increase of about $500 versus last year – but adds new standard features like intelligent cruise control and a new version of NissanConnect that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. In both cases the added equipment is worth more than the year-over-year price increase.

2018 Nissan Altima 2.5 S
Starting Price: $24,025
2018 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR

Beyond the equipment upgrades and price increases, the Nissan Altima changes very little for 2018. Big changes are coming next year, however, as we expect a fully redesigned 2019 Nissan Altima to bow in early 2018. But if your timeframe is more next week than next year, you can learn more about the current-generation Nissan Altima right here.
