The 2016 Nissan Altima is priced at $22,500

Not too long ago, we saw the reveal of the heavily revised 2016 Nissan Altima and now, the Japanese automaker announced that one could land in your driveway for just $22,500.

Obviously, that starting price gets you a rather basic model (no, it doesn’t come with Uggz, yoga pants and pumpkin spice lattes), but being a Nissan, it’s reasonably equipped from the get-go. Of course, power windows, locks, and mirrors are all the standard affair, with a radio, push-button start, and Bluetooth connectivity–just to make sure you’re reminded that we’re not living in the 18th century any more.

Stepping up to the Altima 2.5S brings some more options such as automatic headlights, a six-speaker audio system with a larger infotainment display, and an extra $400 tacked onto the price.

There’s now a sporty SR trim, similar to the new Maxima SR, which gets the whole package, including a rear-spoiler, 18-inch alloys, fog lights, shaded headlights, and an eight-way power seat. That starts at $24,470 and upgrading to the SV and higher-equipped SL models demands $25,460 and $28,570.

The base model and 2.5 designated models come with a 2.5L naturally-aspirated inline four, a carry-over motor from the previous version of the Altima with 182hp and 180 lb-ft of torque.

But for those wanting to pretend to be Jeremy Clarkson screaming power, Nissan’s ubiquitous 3.5L V6 is also available with 270hp and 251 lb-ft, with the sporty SR version beginning at $27,390 and the top-spec SL priced at $32,090.

The 2016 Altima offers a wide-ranging list of enhancements, including a refreshed exterior following the new Nissan “Energetic Flow” design language introduced on the all-new 2015 Murano and 2016 Maxima.

In addition, the Altima model lineup has been expanded for 2016 with a new Altima SR grade featuring 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, smoked headlights, paddle shifters, rear spoiler, unique suspension tuning and sport interior accents.

The 2016 Altima also offers class-leading** standard fuel economy of 39 miles per gallon highway for Altima 2.5-liter engine equipped models. No other mid-size sedan has shown consistent fuel economy gains over the last decade like Altima has, including a 26 percent increase since 2006.

The list of available Altima Safety Shield technologies has also been expanded and includes class-exclusive*** Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW), radar-based Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
