The Altima was redesigned for the 2019 model year and carries into the 2020 model year largely unchanged. Though there is one big upgrade for the 2020 Altima: safety. Nissan has made its full suite of safety systems standard equipment in all but the base model Altima this year, where previously those safety techs were optional in most trims. A few other small touches in varied trim levels also change for 2020. The 2020 Nissan Altima competes against some strong contenders in the midsize sedan market. The Nissan holds its own, despite competition from top sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. It even ups the ante in this generation with an all-wheel drive option. The 2020 Altima is a midsize sedan that seats up to five. There are five trim levels for the car, though most dealerships will likely only have the upper four available. The Altima has two engine options and transmission choice. Drivetrain can be either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, depending on model and engine choices made.
