2020 Nissan Altima Engine Options

Advanced 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Engine

Standard on all 2020 Altima trims is an advanced 2.5-liter inline 4V engine with front-wheel drive, which delivers 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. This engine, first introduced in the 2019 model, features 80% new or redesigned parts compared to the previous generation design. Not only does this engine offer impressive performance and a smoother ride, but it also provides enhanced fuel economy and cleaner emissions.

The front-wheel drive S, SV and SL trims get a splendid EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 mpg in the city, 39 mpg on the highway and 32 mpg combined. The SR and Platinum upgrades get 27, 37 and 31 mpg respectively. All 2020 Altima models come equipped with standard Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which helps getting the desired gas mileage and a dynamic performance.

Nissan World’s First Production 2.0-liter VC-Turbo Engine

Replacing the previous-generation 3.5-liter V6 engine, Nissan offers its first ever produced Variable Compression Turbo Engine as an upgrade for the SR and Platinum trims. This engine brings the best of both worlds: the performance of a V6 motor and the fuel efficiency of a 4-cylinder. When fed with premium fuel, the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine delivers 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It has an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 25 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg combined, a 15% increase over its predecessor.

Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

Many drivers dream of a sedan that gives them the kind of capability expected from an SUV. To make this desire a reality, the 2020 Altima features available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the first AWD system offered on a Nissan sedan in the United States. This intelligent drivetrain, available in all trim levels equipped with the 2.5L V4 engine, uses an advanced system that automatically redistributes torque to the wheels according to road and driving conditions. This way, drivers can enjoy a more confident drive on snowy or rain-covered surfaces.
