The SL trim is also equipped with dual-zone automatic climate controls, as well as air vents for the rear seats, which are a nice-to-have feature. Premium sound flows through the cabin from the Bose nine-speaker sound system, plus ambient lighting adds to the sedan’s pleasant mood.

Anchoring the Altima is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a continuously variable transmission for a total of 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. With a fuel economy rating of 27 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, keeping your gas costs low is a great added bonus.
