2025 Nissan Altima SR Driving Review: Tactical Green Metallic

The 2025 Nissan Altima is here, and it continues to build on its reputation for comfort, reliability, and advanced technology. Today, we’re focusing on what it feels like to get behind the wheel of this versatile sedan. Whether you’re a daily commuter, a weekend road tripper, or someone who simply appreciates a well-rounded car, the Altima deserves your attention. Let’s dive into the driving experience.

First Impressions: Style That Stands Out

The model we tested was the 2025 Altima SR in a stunning new Tactical Green Metallic color, paired with 19-inch bronze wheels exclusive to this trim. The color and wheel combination is nothing short of striking, perfectly complemented by black accents on the mirror caps, window trim, and bumper. The Altima’s signature V-Motion grille and LED headlights add a modern, sporty edge to its design. It’s a sedan that demands a second look as it cruises by.

Comfort and Convenience: Zero-Gravity Comfort

Sliding into the driver’s seat, it’s immediately clear that Nissan’s zero-gravity seats live up to their name. These seats are among the most comfortable you’ll find, perfect for long drives or the daily grind. Heated front seats and a leather-wrapped, orange-stitched steering wheel add a touch of luxury. Dual-zone climate control ensures both driver and passengers can find their perfect temperature. Rear-seat passengers aren’t forgotten, with USB charging ports and plenty of headroom, even for taller adults.

Tech Features: Infotainment at Its Best

The Altima SR’s cabin centers around a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, introduced last year and still one of the best in its class. It’s responsive, intuitive, and seamlessly integrates with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The wireless charging pad is conveniently placed for easy access, and the backup camera with parking sensors makes maneuvering in tight spaces a breeze. Whether you’re navigating with Google Maps or queuing up your favorite Spotify playlist, the Altima’s tech keeps you connected and stress-free.

Performance: Smooth and Capable

Under the hood, the 2025 Altima SR features a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine delivering 188 horsepower, paired with a CVT transmission. While it’s not a sports car, the Altima’s acceleration is smooth and responsive, ideal for merging onto highways or navigating city streets. What truly sets it apart is the available all-wheel-drive system. In a region like Minnesota, where snow and icy conditions are a given, the Altima’s AWD makes it a reliable winter companion.

Despite the larger wheels, the ride remains impressively smooth, with enough tire sidewall to absorb potholes and rough roads. On my test drive, the Altima handled uneven pavement with ease, making it a solid choice for anyone dealing with less-than-perfect road conditions.

Practicality: Room for Everything

One of the Altima’s best-kept secrets is its trunk space. Pop it open, and you’ll find enough room for multiple suitcases, golf clubs, or a massive Costco haul. Need more space? The rear seats fold down to accommodate larger items. For daily errands or weekend adventures, the Altima’s practicality is hard to beat.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a priority in the 2025 Altima, with features like forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking. These systems are easy to manage through the digital gauge cluster, where you can customize your settings or disable certain features if needed. The light steering and excellent visibility make the Altima approachable for drivers of all experience levels.
