S
The Altima’s base level trim comes with features like 16-inch steel wheels, projector halogen headlights, keyless entry with push-button start, remote start, cruise control, and a tilt-telescopic steering system that allows a driver to set the height and distances of the wheel. This trim also includes high-beam assist and hill-start assist. The vehicle’s infotainment system uses a 7-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, hands-free texting, and a USB port.
For safety features, you can expect forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning. You can also enjoy a rearview monitor. With the available Driver Assist Package, you can add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and a rear sonar system.
SV
Adding on to the S, the Altima’s SV trim offers features like 17-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlights, rear-park assist, and two more USB ports. Also available is an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and lane-tracing assist. For infotainment, enjoy Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio capability, and an 8-inch touchscreen.
