Nissan Altima vs Toyota Camry

With the 2014 Altima, Nissan has maintained the cool look and sports-car-like handling that made the original Altima such a success, and they’ve done so while thoroughly modernizing the Altima. A new Apps-based music and navigation system leads the way, as do a 38-mpg fuel economy rating (2.5 model) and premium materials throughout the generous cabin. Nissan has done a masterful job making complex audio and navigation systems easy to operate. The midsize sedan market is about the toughest segment in the industry led by the Toyota Camry so let’s compare:

With the 2014 Altima, Nissan has made great effort to install great value for the best price. With Nissan safety is first and foremost, then dependability, followed by a plentiful choice of creature comforts. You can add all sorts of combinations of audio, navigation, technology and convenience options and packages to your car, and before you do, take a moment to bask in your genius of getting the Altima’s lowest starting price and 27 mpg city/38 mpg highway fuel smarts. The Altima is hundreds of dollars less compared to Camry and thousands of dollars less than Accord.

That price tag and excellent mileage doesn’t come at the expense of performance either. The Altima’s 182-horsepower 4-cylinder and its chassis deliver enjoyable dynamics as well. We like to think the Altima not only beats Camry and Accord on high fuel economy and horsepower but is also the most fun!

The Nissan’s interior highlights its crisp, artful instrument cluster and integrated technology center console which are also works of art that make sense and are easy to use. Craftsmanship, technology, and frugality at the pump make the Altima an excellent choice against Camry (and Accord) and makes driving enjoyable again.
