I have this car for a month now and I really love it. The interior feels very luxury. Those wheels looks amazing. The head light and turn light are very bright. With the automatic high beam no issue at all. Drives so smoothly. I definitely love the big screen! The apple gps just look amazing. And this car has Alexa.
The larger touchscreen is absolutely incredible. It looks more modern and clean and just gives the interior a little bit of an evolutionary design while also keeping it subtle and not overwhelming. Digital gauges would be nice but in this class of vehicle and price I wouldn’t expect anything more or less.
a bigger screen i find bad. with info systems less is more. so you spend less time scrolling through screens. plus I owned a Nissan its cheap and they cut corners where you shouldnt... like plastic in engine places there shouldnt be... never again. plus full LED lights are something id expect on any vehicle today.
Just bought the SR one week ago. Thought I would be bummed about no fog lights but the LED headlights are super bright so I couldn’t care less. The front end looks great, gives a higher end feel. The 19” wheels look nice and ride nice. I got the Grey Sky Pearl which looks amazing! Blue, grey, white all depending on the lighting. The duel exhaust and rear diffuser underneath gives a nice sporty look. When you upgrade from a 2007 Altima to this SR trim, it’s a HUGE upgrade…
@@jponz85 well not really. That altima has a 0-60 of 5.9 seconds even though it's manual and has more power.

@N Shaw Your Altima was the last true Nissan of that generation that was good before Goshen Renault ruined it. My sister had the following generation Altima, and thank God "Yolanda" with no insurance from Tijuana total the car. Now, my sister only drives "Honda." 😉
I love the gas mileage! I used to have a 2018 and it got 38 on the Highway! I could drive it from Phoenix Arizona to San Diego California and only use a half a tank of gas. I sure do miss that.
Yeah the MPGs are insane. I was getting 32 city and 42 highway doing about 70. I lucked out with an SL model and the pro pilot assist was great. The new Nissans are actually good cars, despite all the hate.

Rented a 21 the other day and was very pleased with the drive. Massive improvements over past gens. Felt like a wide track and handled better than expected and the torque off the line was enough to easily break tires loose which has never been the case in any cvt base i4 before. So yes, for a commuter, leaps and bounds over past gens and the turbo one would be a hoot for sure. Too bad they don’t offer that with awd yet, right? If you haven’t driven one recently, definitely try it again.
I rented the new Altima and I wanted to hate this car so much because of the CVT. I actually enjoyed the car for the 2 weeks I had it. It got incredible gas mileage and it feels decent in power. It was so much better than the Sonata I had the week before. It’s a much improved car from the yesteryears.😊 I got triple the gas mileage of my Challenger Scatpack, but I love that car so much never getting rid of it.
@@Nathan_Jay do you like have an obsession with Nissan ? .. CVT problems are found more so in older years … y’all be having a lot to say about a car that you don’t even Own . Like do you even have a Nissan 2023 ? I don’t think so . Car come with a 5 year warranty ! Which is great
With so many brands dropping their sedans for crossovers/SUVS, it’s nice to see Nissan still holding on to one of their most popular models. I’m loving the changes they have made to it. It definitely has a more aggressive and sporty look. Though this is 2023 we’re talking about and having fully incandescent taillights is kind of obsolete. Otherwise you can just switch them out for some aftermarket kind. Though imo I do prefer the K5 which ofc is made by Kia. It offers the style and the aggressiveness without being over the top. It also offers some nice premium features like a pano sunroof, a sport focused GT while combining the space and usability of the average compact crossover. And with America’s best warranty that for me alone is why I would choose the K5 over its competition. Don’t get me wrong this Altima is nice but it is missing some features that some of the competition has, and I do like the dual-clutch in the K5 or the 8 speed auto that’s in the Camry more than the sonatas CVT.
Biggest Slam Dunk is the styling and comfort. I could drive for days in it. The Biggest Air Ball is the fact the adaptive cruise is not installed. It uses the same radar sensor on the grille. Basically needs a switch and enabled in the BIU. Own a '22 SR. Love the car though.
Great Review Guys. The front end and wheel changes are nice. Glad to see the updated infotainment screen as well. However, Nissan should have redone the rear with a Full LED option.
Yeah but I just switched out my brake light for LEDs for the same affect only cost 14.99 for two bulbs. Most other manufacturers usually cheap out on the reverse or turn signals anyway.
LEDs suck. I've owned three cars with them and all three have had them burn out just like bulbs. The problem is that instead of replacing a $3 light bulb, I had to replace a $500+ light assembly. Give me bulbs any day.
@@nodak81 I think the Xenon gas lights are cool but the newest stuff is too bright for oncoming traffic. My VW Passat needed H7 halogen bulbs replaced average once a year. My Honda has its bulbs going strong for 5 straight years. I love it!
The main problem of Nissan is CVT i used to own 2014 Nissan Altima SV Package my Tranny went out just after 40000 miles luckily my nissan is still under Warranty & i should mention the Nissan Seats are the BEST OF THE BEST Zero Gravity.
I had a 2020 SL AWD that I loved. I only traded it to get a great deal on a leftover Q50. I may still go back to Altima for better MPGs and more features than I have now. Looks way better than the competition in my opinion..
@@phoenixhathaway4828 it’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned. The 3.0 is peppy. The interior feels luxurious even in base trim, without being ostentatious. Just a classy, well put together car that does everything well. And servicing it at the INFINITI dealer has been pleasant.
I'm renting one of these this week, and I've actually been really pleasantly surprised. With the Altima's reputation, I expected it to be a heap, but I really can't find much to complain about. The interior is simple and easy to use, there are physical controls for the stereo and climate, it's fast enough to get out of its own way, visibility is fantastic, comfort is adequate, gas mileage is great, and it's done everything I've asked of it with no complaints. I don't love the front end styling, the brakes are very touchy, and the seats could be a little more ergonomic, but in most respects, it's the perfect rental car. It gets you from A to B with as little fuss as possible. I did notice a couple of weird little build quality issues. The inside door panels don't seem all that sturdy - if you hold the door in place and pull on the interior handle, the whole panel flexes noticeably. There is also a loose piece of sound-deadening foam sticking out at the bottom of the windshield on the inside, like it wasn't seated quite right when the windshield was installed. Finally, I have noticed some vague rattling noises in the dash when it goes over bad potholes - not a specific loose part, just general vibrations echoing through the plastic. But for a free Hertz upgrade, it's been about as good as I could ask for. I've had some bad rental cars in the past (looking at you, Chrysler 200), but this one is refreshingly unremarkable - it just works.
The halogen bulb taillights is not a big deal, you can get some nice aftermarket led tailights, or if you don’t want to spend a lot of money just swap out the halogen bulbs for led bulbs for the taillights
Right! I don’t think they’re ever going to implement that in Altimas. Maybe since they’re getting rid of the maxima, they will eventually transfer that feature to the Altima 🤷🏽♀️
They are much better think rest of lineup is better Consumer Reports rated the Sentra including CVTS are much better so Nissan is doing wonderful job they are first award of excellence now.
@@occckid123 bought new, a 13 Altima SL, engine grenaded at 2k, warranty took care of that. tranny went out at 43k, had to cover the cost of that myself. bought new, a 17 Rogue SL, short in the wire harness at 39k, their mechanics couldn't find where, cost too much to replace (their suggestion) complete wire harness so I got rid of the car... no more nissans for me.
My first car was a 92 Maxima. I now drive a 2017 Maxima. I love it and I have a hard time understanding all the hate Maxima gets. I wish Nissan was not discontinuing it. If I had the money, I would sell my 17 and get the 23 to hold me over for the 5 or so years where Nissan is most likely taking the Maxima and converting it to an electric vehicle.
I fell in love with the max when I was a young man many years ago. I have always liked the looks of that car, unfortunately I never owned one. It is sad to know it will be going away.
I owned 2 4th gen maxima SE with 5spd manual transmission and they were definitely one of the best cars I've owned. I would definitely consider buying one only if they still made them available with a manual transmission.
You’d think executives with 6-8 digit paychecks would have enough common sense to design a car that could compete with its competition, but as we can see, they do not. 😐
At the beginning where Drew showed off the front and Mason showed the side profile, I like how you guys put your names in the video, especially for new comers who are new to the channel. They’ll at least get to know your names.
I always loved the Altima used to own one still driving a Nissan have to say the new refreshed model is more gorgeous than ever wish they could had changed the taillights more LED love the new wheels and grill. I love interior changes as exterior of the car falling in love with the 2023 as did when got my Altima way back in '07 color does look good definitely high initial midsize car now looks better than 19-22 models.
@@lionintu well they are better now in the day those things were terrible still wish put a 9 speed automatic still they given the Altima the hook up since it's sister Maxima will leave us forever.
@@lionintu blah blah blah the ctv buy one with automatic transmission and that's it if you don't know how to take care of things like your mother or wife buy an automatic 🤣😂😂😂
I think this Altima is perfect, it gives an advanced look while still having simple features that are easy to use and reliable. Like my mom always says, the more there is too a car, the more there is to break.
I'm more disappointed with the rear tail lights, it would have been nice if the turn signal in the rear was clear lens, and the removal of the fog lights in the front hurt me bad 😞
SR stamp on the wheels should be painted Red. And I do agree that the tail light assembly must be all LED by now. Simple mods that will translate into more sales should not be overlooked.
The car looks great nice family car and cruiser but as performance it does match my Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V 6 speed manual not even the turbo model or the V6.. but I'm sure it's enjoyable in so many ways.
@@-Nevaex- in my opinion, go with the q50 .. they use traditional rear wheel drive transmissions. I personally will not buy a Nissan CVT.. Renault has made a mess when the merged with Nissan..
That turn indicator sound would drive me nuts in no time at all. On top of that, this one has all the amenities you'd expect (power seats, 12" touchscreen, Wireless charging etc), but what? No automatic temperature control? You gotta be kidding me. Guess I'll keep my 2019 Honda Accord Sport, best bang for the buck I've ever gotten in a car.
Seems to be a mixed bag for me in terms of the refresh. I like the new wheel design and interior changes however when it comes to the exterior this is where Nissan dropped the ball. The front looks worse why add fake vents on both sides where there used be a functional fog lamp. The chrome strips where the V motion grille doesn't help either. The taillights are outdated now they should have been LEDs too.
The front end looks a lot better.. That silver looking scuff plate on top of the back bumper looks terrible they need to stop that.. It's a mess. I have a friend that has a 2019 SR and it has one..
Yeah Ford and Chevy are really stupid to not make at least a few sedans, well Ford mostly I think Chevy has a few remaining but how dumb for Ford to not even keep one. They lost some lifetime customers by assuming everyone wants an SUV....no thanks, not interested at all in any SUV.
The car looks really good, I wish there was a market for the Altima coupe again. Only issue with Nissan, and it’s a major issue is there awful CVT transmissions. Had this been improved at all?
@@thearikes I hate Nissan so much cause of this. Got a Murano 2012 full price and 5 months later the transmission gave up. It really pissed me off cause I was loving the car. Now I’m driving my old Camry 2002 I still kept. That thing runs better than that Nissan. Never again with Nissan. Don’t even know why their still in business with how they don’t even change their transmission issues. Like? Are they doing it on purpose for ppl to just buy their cars cause do the looks?
I wish they replaced that microwave beep chime with the new one in the Rouge and Pathfinder. No rear LED taillights is lame too, I already see this gen with burnt out taillights.
Man I am disappointed seeing this from Nissan. The Halogen rear lights are terrible, and no AC in the back seats ?? This review was great, and it was even on the second highest trim level of the car and it still looks like you’re missing out on a lot when compared to competition that would have all these things on there base models. I love my Altima, but do not see myself upgrading to get another one when compared to its competitors.
Still no LED taillights.....come on Nissan?!?! And no fog lights across the board? Crazy. On my 22 platinum, it does help visibility a bit. It also makes the car look better.
Nice (Although Korean vehicles come with a much better warranty), I think I'd rather have that 2019 BMW 330i I saw in Phoenix, AZ on Truecars for $26, 300 with 84k miles....Great vid guys!
I really like what they did to the facelifted Altima, but they still need to change that rear end to make it a bit more like the Murano or the Rogue sport cuz they're incedescent halogens, and I still don't like that Jatco CVT...
me too. because I'd consider it vs h9nda Accord. but Accord finally adding Bose speakers on Touring trim next to their awesome handling . better for comparison with Toyota camry.
@@lionintu Toyota also not raising prices of their cars on their customers. Look at comparable trim of Camry vs Accord. Honda is a few thousand dollars more.
I have a 17 Altima lol had a Camry before I actually like my Altima and to be a 4 cylinder it’s actually fast….. i have my bumper lol no damage to it 😂 never had an issue with it I would buy another one but they should keep the maxima around
@@13bulletclip carlos ghosen was the reason Nissan vehicles went to trash under his reign. He chose quantity over quality. Now with him gone Nissan is back in the black on finances and heading in the right direction.
Okay so here's the thing.... Nissan's are really nice-looking cars and they're pretty exciting to drive when they're new. But if I buy this exact car today brand new, '23, 10 years from now, am I going to still like it the same way or is it going to give me trouble? As of right now I'm willing the Toyota family.... And one of my vehicles is a 17year old Corolla with more than 200k miles which is almost on retirement. Will this Nissan make 17years from now?
This will be my first Altima to own, and thankfully this Altima a '23 and not a stupid '13. I will test out the stupid CVT before I can give you my thoughts on it.
Outside looks very nice. Inside? Meh...Right now...the 22 Kia Carnival SXP is still the standard. That means two 12.3 screens side by side. That's how all cars should be, in one form or another. YOu can't have a standard analog gauge, then add a 10" screen. It should be fully digital for 2022 and on. That's my opinion. But overall, it's much nicer. The Pathfinder, QX60, and Altima does look better than the last few revisions.
As a previous owner of 2016 Altima and 2016 Pathfinder, buying Nissan back then was one of the worst choices I've made and I've traded in both vehicles after a year due to so many safety issues including Air Bag sensors and break relay. I can understand why Nissan is on a continual decline and would recommend all other brands over Nissan.
I've always liked Nissan but have been worried about the CVT on them its a known issue. Wonder have they done anything to address that issue? I've been ready for a new car but this year has been so crazy with shortages and pricing being all crazy I don't want to settle.
Do not buy this car. Nissan has some of the worst transmissions. Jatco makes Nissan and a lot of other manufacturers transmissions. They never made them right and I can guarantee you with absolute certainty that it will fail much sooner than a camry or accord. You're much better off buying a USED accord or camry over this car. Even the 2022 civic in higher trims is better than this.
@@itsbtunes Mitsubishi has been using the same CVT Nissans been using in the 2019+ Altima and all redesigned models with cvts and haven’t had a issue with them. I haven’t heard many 2019+ Altimas having bad cvts. Nor with 2021+ Rogues.

And that’s why Hyundai and Kia have been killing it lately in terms of tech features, design, and value.
@@MTAoRCEO what’s the reason for it?
i prefer the accord do u like
the k5 over the accord?
@@Solicity850 ye
this comment is utter nonsense. Nissan dropped the Maxima. period.they're wilin..
Is no one else noticing how many design elements they seem to have taken from the Accord Sport? The rim design, the front grill shape and the interior
My exact thoughts as an newer model accord driver
Facts
Biggest Slam Dunk is the styling and comfort. I could drive for days in it.
The Biggest Air Ball is the fact the adaptive cruise is not installed. It uses the same radar sensor on the grille. Basically needs a switch and enabled in the BIU. Own a '22 SR. Love the car though.
I wish we got the Chinese model with the U.S grille. That model comes with better interior colors, new taillights and a panoramic moonroof
Great Review Guys. The front end and wheel changes are nice. Glad to see the updated infotainment screen as well. However, Nissan should have redone the rear with a Full LED option.
Yeah but I just switched out my brake light for LEDs for the same affect only cost 14.99 for two bulbs. Most other manufacturers usually cheap out on the reverse or turn signals anyway.
Thank you!
consider heat. At the back gets no airflow. My bicycle lights require bike moving through air to cool because so its very hot on high setting.
LEDs suck. I've owned three cars with them and all three have had them burn out just like bulbs. The problem is that instead of replacing a $3 light bulb, I had to replace a $500+ light assembly. Give me bulbs any day.
@@nodak81 I think the Xenon gas lights are cool but the newest stuff is too bright for oncoming traffic.
My VW Passat needed H7 halogen bulbs replaced average once a year. My Honda has its bulbs going strong for 5 straight years. I love it!
The main problem of Nissan is CVT i used to own 2014 Nissan Altima SV Package my Tranny went out just after 40000 miles luckily my nissan is still under Warranty & i should mention the Nissan Seats are the BEST OF THE BEST Zero Gravity.
I had a 2020 SL AWD that I loved. I only traded it to get a great deal on a leftover Q50. I may still go back to Altima for better MPGs and more features than I have now. Looks way better than the competition in my opinion..
How do you like your q50 I want to get one soon
@@phoenixhathaway4828 it’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned. The 3.0 is peppy. The interior feels luxurious even in base trim, without being ostentatious. Just a classy, well put together car that does everything well. And servicing it at the INFINITI dealer has been pleasant.
If you don’t mind but what was the insurance and payment like
I'm renting one of these this week, and I've actually been really pleasantly surprised. With the Altima's reputation, I expected it to be a heap, but I really can't find much to complain about. The interior is simple and easy to use, there are physical controls for the stereo and climate, it's fast enough to get out of its own way, visibility is fantastic, comfort is adequate, gas mileage is great, and it's done everything I've asked of it with no complaints. I don't love the front end styling, the brakes are very touchy, and the seats could be a little more ergonomic, but in most respects, it's the perfect rental car. It gets you from A to B with as little fuss as possible.
I did notice a couple of weird little build quality issues. The inside door panels don't seem all that sturdy - if you hold the door in place and pull on the interior handle, the whole panel flexes noticeably. There is also a loose piece of sound-deadening foam sticking out at the bottom of the windshield on the inside, like it wasn't seated quite right when the windshield was installed. Finally, I have noticed some vague rattling noises in the dash when it goes over bad potholes - not a specific loose part, just general vibrations echoing through the plastic. But for a free Hertz upgrade, it's been about as good as I could ask for. I've had some bad rental cars in the past (looking at you, Chrysler 200), but this one is refreshingly unremarkable - it just works.
Loving this refresh especially this front end & the wheels. I have 20 Sentra SV & nissan has really stepped things up
The halogen bulb taillights is not a big deal, you can get some nice aftermarket led tailights, or if you don’t want to spend a lot of money just swap out the halogen bulbs for led bulbs for the taillights
That has got to be one of the best rims I ever seen on a car
NOT a reason to buy a car
@@lionintu Nissan makes great cars so mind your damn business
@@kevinm2025 lmaaoooo
@@lionintuYou're such a hater. Nissan is here to stay!
That and those zero gravity seats. I sat in a 21 Altima and almost bought it just for the seat comfort.
Looks absolutely great! I only wish there was a panoramic roof option.. that would be sick.
Right! I don’t think they’re ever going to implement that in Altimas. Maybe since they’re getting rid of the maxima, they will eventually transfer that feature to the Altima 🤷🏽♀️
@@kturby5489 Who knows
This will be my first Nissan Altima to own.
Great job with your content as always bro.
before you buy one check the reliability history for this model
According to consumer reports the 2019+ has great reliability.
They are much better think rest of lineup is better Consumer Reports rated the Sentra including CVTS are much better so Nissan is doing wonderful job they are first award of excellence now.
@@BusterKitten I have a 16 with 407k miles on it. What about it?
@@occckid123 bought new, a 13 Altima SL, engine grenaded at 2k, warranty took care of that. tranny went out at 43k, had to cover the cost of that myself. bought new, a 17 Rogue SL, short in the wire harness at 39k, their mechanics couldn't find where, cost too much to replace (their suggestion) complete wire harness so I got rid of the car... no more nissans for me.
Name banners are a nice touch. Very professional. Great video as always!
Why do car manufacturers keep deleting fog lamps??
Thanks! Someone recommended that recently and we thought it was a good idea
Fog lamps are pretty counter intuitive
@@f22jax If you mean they’re useless,yes they usually are. However,most vehicles look better with them.
I had mentioned adding names when they first started - I’m glad they did too.
sadly fog is down 50% or more globally due to global warming according to experts
No LED taillights, meanwhile you get them on other Nissan products… Such a huge disappointment.
That logo animation intro is Dope AF 😵
Thanks!
This is so pretty!
My first car was a 92 Maxima. I now drive a 2017 Maxima. I love it and I have a hard time understanding all the hate Maxima gets. I wish Nissan was not discontinuing it. If I had the money, I would sell my 17 and get the 23 to hold me over for the 5 or so years where Nissan is most likely taking the Maxima and converting it to an electric vehicle.
if they didnt have cvt transmissions they would be better
I fell in love with the max when I was a young man many years ago. I have always liked the looks of that car, unfortunately I never owned one. It is sad to know it will be going away.
I owned 2 4th gen maxima SE with 5spd manual transmission and they were definitely one of the best cars I've owned. I would definitely consider buying one only if they still made them available with a manual transmission.
Now that the Maxima is going away, they should have made the Altima like the Chinese version. The Chinese version looks more premium.
You’d think executives with 6-8 digit paychecks would have enough common sense to design a car that could compete with its competition, but as we can see, they do not. 😐
At the beginning where Drew showed off the front and Mason showed the side profile, I like how you guys put your names in the video, especially for new comers who are new to the channel. They’ll at least get to know your names.
I always loved the Altima used to own one still driving a Nissan have to say the new refreshed model is more gorgeous than ever wish they could had changed the taillights more LED love the new wheels and grill. I love interior changes as exterior of the car falling in love with the 2023 as did when got my Altima way back in '07 color does look good definitely high initial midsize car now looks better than 19-22 models.
blah blah worst cvt transmission ever made.
@@lionintu well they are better now in the day those things were terrible still wish put a 9 speed automatic still they given the Altima the hook up since it's sister Maxima will leave us forever.
@@lionintu blah blah blah the ctv buy one with automatic transmission and that's it if you don't know how to take care of things like your mother or wife buy an automatic 🤣😂😂😂
Punctuation is your friend
I think this Altima is perfect, it gives an advanced look while still having simple features that are easy to use and reliable. Like my mom always says, the more there is too a car, the more there is to break.
They should have used the budget from the discontinued Maxima to offer options across the board. I.e. V6, 9spd from the new Pathfinder, full led's.
I'm more disappointed with the rear tail lights, it would have been nice if the turn signal in the rear was clear lens, and the removal of the fog lights in the front hurt me bad 😞
SR stamp on the wheels should be painted Red. And I do agree that the tail light assembly must be all LED by now. Simple mods that will translate into more sales should not be overlooked.
It's 180hp boy please
@@alanclark9000 😂😂😂😂
Really like you review cars. Thank you so much for taking time to do this. Very helpful in making a purchase
decision.
Thanks! So glad we could help!
Makes wanna trade my 19 SR in
54k miles no problems I will wait until they add LED tailights lol
I have a 17 S model with about 54k miles, thinking about trading up as well.
I had a 2009 Altima .I loved it when I first got it. Than boom CVT transmission smh! I haven’t Thought of buying another Nissan. The car look nice .
Looks like a really nice rental from Enterprise
Been waiting for a review of this one
I have a 2019 SL so far everything is good , but I definitely wouldn’t mind upgrading to the 23 SR Platinum VC turbo
The car looks great nice family car and cruiser but as performance it does match my Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V 6 speed manual not even the turbo model or the V6.. but I'm sure it's enjoyable in so many ways.
My lease expires in 2024, I’m debating if I should get the highest trim for the Altima or if they finally update the q50 should I get that instead
@@-Nevaex- in my opinion, go with the q50 .. they use traditional rear wheel drive transmissions. I personally will not buy a Nissan CVT.. Renault has made a mess when the merged with Nissan..
@@-Nevaex- stay away they both are trash smart people not buying anything Nissan these days u wasting money
That turn indicator sound would drive me nuts in no time at all. On top of that, this one has all the amenities you'd expect (power seats, 12" touchscreen, Wireless charging etc), but what? No automatic temperature control? You gotta be kidding me. Guess I'll keep my 2019 Honda Accord Sport, best bang for the buck I've ever gotten in a car.
I think they did that cause there’s idiots that drives their cars with the signal still on while going straight 😂
Seems to be a mixed bag for me in terms of the refresh. I like the new wheel design and interior changes however when it comes to the exterior this is where Nissan dropped the ball. The front looks worse why add fake vents on both sides where there used be a functional fog lamp. The chrome strips where the V motion grille doesn't help either. The taillights are outdated now they should have been LEDs too.
I believe it’s all preferences. I love the new look
The last time Nissan put LED in the taillights of the Altima was 2013-2015. Only in the SL trim levels though.
You tripping in person this car looks amazing
I'll say it looks a little better than the last one..
The front end looks a lot better.. That silver looking scuff plate on top of the back bumper looks terrible they need to stop that.. It's a mess. I have a friend that has a 2019 SR and it has one..
Wow I can actually say, it’s starting to look better!
Thank you for the review, I was beginning to think only Toyota, Hyundai/Kia and Honda made cars. 😁
Yeah Ford and Chevy are really stupid to not make at least a few sedans, well Ford mostly I think Chevy has a few remaining but how dumb for Ford to not even keep one. They lost some lifetime customers by assuming everyone wants an SUV....no thanks, not interested at all in any SUV.
Correct. Nissan just makes junk.
Currently deciding between the 3 cars mentioned. Thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoyed the review 👍
Good thing you can buy led lights for the rear.
Good review & great Nissan.
Wow… finally has led turn signals? I’m shook
I’m just glad they updated the interior!! It was well overdue
The car looks really good, I wish there was a market for the Altima coupe again. Only issue with Nissan, and it’s a major issue is there awful CVT transmissions. Had this been improved at all?
No the transmissions are still pretty bad
@@Shortorderboy1048 for that reason I will never buy a Nissan again.
@@thearikes I hate Nissan so much cause of this.
Got a Murano 2012 full price and 5 months later the transmission gave up.
It really pissed me off cause I was loving the car. Now I’m driving my old Camry 2002 I still kept. That thing runs better than that Nissan.
Never again with Nissan. Don’t even know why their still in business with how they don’t even change their transmission issues. Like? Are they doing it on purpose for ppl to just buy their cars cause do the looks?
@@Miguel21ification I believe it! Complete crap car company!
Would never buy another Nissan but those wheels are super sweet
Ouuu it is so Beautiful 😍.
I wish they replaced that microwave beep chime with the new one in the Rouge and Pathfinder. No rear LED taillights is lame too, I already see this gen with burnt out taillights.
Nice review keep up the good work Drew and Mason
Man I am disappointed seeing this from Nissan. The Halogen rear lights are terrible, and no AC in the back seats ?? This review was great, and it was even on the second highest trim level of the car and it still looks like you’re missing out on a lot when compared to competition that would have all these things on there base models. I love my Altima, but do not see myself upgrading to get another one when compared to its competitors.
should've reviewed the vc tubro trim
Still no LED taillights.....come on Nissan?!?! And no fog lights across the board? Crazy. On my 22 platinum, it does help visibility a bit. It also makes the car look better.
The differences are so minimal compared to what I have in my 2022 Sentra SR for so much more money.
And you get fog lights in the Sentra, no clue why they wouldn't have fog lights as an option
And both still are garbage cars smh
I love the Nissan Altima and I would get one if it wasn’t for the CVT
It's so beautiful 😍
I like it …especially the front.. good job Nissan!
I like the 2023 Nissan Altima, it’s Alright, I don’t like the CVT lol
Thumbnail car looks sky blue...that'd be much better than these Grey primer trends
Nice (Although Korean vehicles come with a much better warranty), I think I'd rather have that 2019 BMW 330i I saw in Phoenix, AZ on Truecars for $26, 300 with 84k miles....Great vid guys!
Thanks!
Make sure you save up a lot of money because you’re going to need it. No more warranty.
@@4everyoung16 U Ever Heard of an Extended Warranty?
84k miles already on 2019 sound like rental car
Absolutely love it!!✔️💯♨️❤️
I really like what they did to the facelifted Altima, but they still need to change that rear end to make it a bit more like the Murano or the Rogue sport cuz they're incedescent halogens, and I still don't like that Jatco CVT...
Yep if it still has that crappy cvt transmission it’s still the same old Altima just with alittle upgrades
It's been improved with each generation. These are supposedly not bad.
@@HanabiiiUwU yea but I much rather own a 2000s Altima

Until Nissan loses the CVT transmissions I cannot recommend these vehicles.

New intro?? I like it
Thanks!
Would own another Nissan if the cvt won’t take a shit on me again
Just bought 1 yesterday!! 9k miles and in immaculate condition. SR awd and I'm going to treat it like a $100k car LOL
Waiting to see what Toyota does with the next generation Camry.
me too. because I'd consider it vs h9nda Accord. but Accord finally adding Bose speakers on Touring trim next to their awesome handling . better for comparison with Toyota camry.
@@lionintu Toyota also not raising prices of their cars on their customers. Look at comparable trim of Camry vs Accord. Honda is a few thousand dollars more.
I used to drive Nissans and even Datsun. In the 90’s they were still good vehicles. New ones are all trash.
Nice review! Would have been great if they added a hybrid option.
Thanks!
That would be the perfect car!
I had to look twice! I thought it was an Elantra N! Thanks for the review guys!
Lolol that car will forever be known as the ghetto entry level sedan. Ain't no way it'll ever be refined
I'm white and have one. Didn't know it had such a reputation, I mean an altima cost the same as a camry but that gets nowhere near the hate.
I have a 17 Altima lol had a Camry before I actually like my Altima and to be a 4 cylinder it’s actually fast….. i have my bumper lol no damage to it 😂 never had an issue with it I would buy another one but they should keep the maxima around
How would you rate this transmission against Toyota's in terms of long term reliability?
The 2019+ is supposed to be MUCH more reliable. Since the CEO switch. I believe them. They know how to make reliable vehicles.. Just gotta see it

Nissan Altimas gets incredible gas mileage. But that 20 year old keyfob needs an update.

Good video ! Thanks !!
Nissan's design language is out of this world gorgeous ❤💥👑
So sexy !
Okay so here's the thing.... Nissan's are really nice-looking cars and they're pretty exciting to drive when they're new. But if I buy this exact car today brand new, '23, 10 years from now, am I going to still like it the same way or is it going to give me trouble? As of right now I'm willing the Toyota family.... And one of my vehicles is a 17year old Corolla with more than 200k miles which is almost on retirement. Will this Nissan make 17years from now?
Nissan is one of those car companies that need to close shop and go silently into the night.
Kinda like your useless opinion needs to go silent....
This will be my first Altima to own, and thankfully this Altima a '23 and not a stupid '13. I will test out the stupid CVT before I can give you my thoughts on it.
nissan altima has the worst cvt transmission design ever made.
the cvt is not stupid, it's the one that purchases the cvt
Wish you guys would review a Platinum Altima 🙏🏽
It's been discontinued for 2023. SR-VC is now the top trim (1:02)
Outside looks very nice. Inside? Meh...Right now...the 22 Kia Carnival SXP is still the standard. That means two 12.3 screens side by side. That's how all cars should be, in one form or another. YOu can't have a standard analog gauge, then add a 10" screen. It should be fully digital for 2022 and on. That's my opinion. But overall, it's much nicer. The Pathfinder, QX60, and Altima does look better than the last few revisions.
As a previous owner of 2016 Altima and 2016 Pathfinder, buying Nissan back then was one of the worst choices I've made and I've traded in both vehicles after a year due to so many safety issues including Air Bag sensors and break relay. I can understand why Nissan is on a continual decline and would recommend all other brands over Nissan.
New Pathfinder is awesome!
Nissan altima actually sold 78000 so thats cap their better now then ever
Good refresh, front-end looks aggressive, but with the Altima now being longer that the Maxima, will the refresh Maxima be even bigger?
The Maxima is being discontinued
I've always liked Nissan but have been worried about the CVT on them its a known issue. Wonder have they done anything to address that issue? I've been ready for a new car but this year has been so crazy with shortages and pricing being all crazy I don't want to settle.
Do not buy this car. Nissan has some of the worst transmissions. Jatco makes Nissan and a lot of other manufacturers transmissions. They never made them right and I can guarantee you with absolute certainty that it will fail much sooner than a camry or accord. You're much better off buying a USED accord or camry over this car. Even the 2022 civic in higher trims is better than this.
Never had a problem with my Rogue. Just a really boring car to drive
@@itsbtunesthe interesting thing is mitsushitty has the same jatco transmissions and I have never heard of any problems with them.
