Nissan Altima L34

2019–2026 · L34 · sedan

Sixth-generation Altima. 2.5L QR25DD I4 (188hp) as the volume engine; the 2.0L VC-Turbo variable-compression-ratio I4 (248hp) was offered through 2022 before being dropped. AWD optional on 2.5L (first time on Altima). Xtronic CVT only. The V6 is gone, sedan-shopping V6 buyers were redirected to the (now-discontinued) Maxima.

Watch out: The VC-Turbo engine is novel mechanically, the variable-compression-ratio link mechanism is unproven in long-term ownership data. If you're buying a used VC-Turbo, factor that risk. On 2.5L cars, the CVT remains the main long-term watch-item; otherwise the QR25DD is a straightforward port-and-direct-inject combo with no major scandals.
