The 2026 Nissan Altima brings a composed ride, efficient four-cylinder power, and one feature most midsize sedans in this class don’t offer: available all-wheel drive. For drivers across Ontario and the wider Inland Empire who want sedan comfort without giving up traction, it’s a practical, value-focused choice. At Empire Nissan, we keep the details clear so you can decide which trim fits your drive.
Every 2026 Altima pairs a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT. Front-wheel-drive models produce 188 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque; all-wheel-drive models produce 182 hp and 178 lb-ft. All-wheel drive is available on both the SV and SR as a factory option, adding grip for wet weather or less predictable road surfaces north of the valley. The base configuration is front-wheel drive.
The 2026 Altima lineup centers on two trims, each with a step-up variant:
MSRP on new inventory covers manufacturer/distributor equipment and logistics fees, all of which are subject to revision. It does not account for taxes, registration, dealer-installed additions, or other local charges. MSRP is not a retail advertisement; actual dealer pricing will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
The Altima delivers efficient EPA-estimated fuel economy that keeps commutes between Ontario, Fontana, and Rancho Cucamonga predictable at the pump. Figures vary by drivetrain:
| Drivetrain | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front-Wheel Drive | 26 MPG | 36 MPG | 30 MPG |
| All-Wheel Drive | 25 MPG | 33 MPG | 28 MPG |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Safety Shield 360 comes standard on every 2026 Altima, with ProPILOT Assist available to help manage speed and following distance in traffic, including bringing the vehicle to a full stop and resuming. The 2026 Altima earned a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating.
