2020 Nissan Altima Review | The Affordable AWD Sedan

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

I will buy this used 2020 Nissan Altima one day as my daily vehicle and show it to all of my friend's how good this vehicle usually is

[@miguelircontar]

I have this exact same color model and trim I freakin love it

[@jeffharder8706]

Miguel Ircontar it’s a sweet looking ride. I’m seriously considering this exact trim/model myself. I’m tired of dropping $500-600.00 into my 11yo Dodge Caliber every few months to keep it running.

[@marvbro7435]

It puts a smile on my face every time I look at it

[@k.lawrence894]

Do you have the turbo?

[@tousshong9438]

If you're looking for a power house, this Altima is not the car for you but it dose have plenty of power for the average customer to commute and passing on the freeway. This baby save gas, ride smooth, handle good and seating is very comfy and have all the latest technology most buyer want. How do I know all of these? Well, I know I own a 2019 Altima SV AWD so yeah, it's a good car and looks even better.

[@ohhbradley4460]

How is it holding up 2 years later ?

[@michaelo2088]

Got one about a week and a half ago and would definitely recommend going with the turbo one 👌🏼

[@iforgotmyusername2]

Got 2020 Platinum AWD and absolutely love it. Amazing ride, plenty of room & the sound system are my favorites. Of course AWD is awesome as well.

[@BTCETHBNBLTC]

Same here. Platinum AWD. Bought mine used for 22K, couldn't believe it. Selling dealer needed to unload it. I love it!

[@calvinryon352]

Just ordered the SL today! Excited!

[@ohhbradley4460]

How is it holding up a year later ?

[@SignifiedSix]

With the 6 speaker setup, are there speakers in the rear deck, or is it the rear doors?

[@VdiMusicGaming]

I’m glad the people complaining about last gen Altima are happy now

[@NoEgg4u]

@3:00 You state that you are going to do a paddle shifter test, and have the ideal camera position to see the shifters and the road. Then, @3:06, when you do the test, you have the camera on your face. Why would you think that it is more important for us to look at your face, when shifting the paddles, as compared to watching your fingers shift the paddles, during the paddle shifter test? You were shifting the paddles, and chose to not let us see you shifting the paddles. What gives?

[@alisadiq7595]

I dont care about technology in a car ..the must important thing is the quality smooth ride and comfortable seats and this is the best car will offer this.

[@tousshong9438]

Well, this Altima have all of that. Smooth ride, comfy seats and built well. CVT is also great as compares to Honda and Subaru CVT. I have own these car with CVT and love it.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

Now that the Maxima is being phased out the Altima will start moving in that direction. It's already starting to look like the Maxima. But that extra 100 horsepower is going to be missed.

[@Chieftain357]

Plus they all come with remote start.

[@MassiveDFanSince]

I believe it also comes with push to start as well.

[@TinoMiller]

Yes !!!!!!!!!❤❤ Thank you !! I do appreciate this Soo much !! I just brought the Platinum with a VC Turbo .. All Black ❤❤ .. Thank you Soo much Gold Pony

[@goldpony]

no prob & congrats!

[@Reallyraywhat]

That is a gorgeous car. I’ve never owned a car with a CVT...

[@tousshong9438]

Don't worry and don't listen to CVT bashing out there. I have driven and own CVT tranny on my 2014 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda HR-V and 2019 Nissan Altima and they all function great no issues. In fact, after owning a CVT, I dislike going back driving the regular step automatic. I hate the feels of noticing the tranny shift, especial going over hill or inclined road. With the CVT tranny. even with my 1.8L on the HR-V where the RPM just rev up and pull strong going up the hill not having to hear the transmission shift up and down. Honestly, I don't miss the old traditional automatic, especially with 4 cylinder cars. Best of all, it save you $$ on fuel using CVT.

[@tousshong9438]

Don't worry CVT vehicles are great. I have own CVT cars for the last 5 years and it's no issue. In fact, I like it more then the traditional automatic where you don"t notice the constant shifting back and forth when the car goes over hilly areas. The motor just rev up to the sweet power band and stay there and pulling you strong thru the hill and/incline. I never miss the step automatic.

[@skylersimms3172]

@@tousshong9438 I do really love the Nissan CTV it gives the car a lot more speed and runs smoothly

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Very good review!

[@autumnhyder8425]

what would you prefer? Nissan Altima AWD or Mazda 3 AWD? i am deciding between the two for my next car.

[@tousshong9438]

Well, it depends on your needs? If you like to sit high then Mazda 3 is a good little SUV but it lack utility and roominess. The Altima AWD on the other hand ,has better fuel economy but sit like regular sedan and has lower ground clearance.

[@MikeFyxdt]

That’s a good looking car! I wonder what the performance market is going to look like... with the all wheel drive (and no available turbo) it’s just begging for an aftermarket power add. Maybe Nissan has a trick up their sleeve and will offer an AWD turbo to compete with Subaru WRX STI and the Civic Type R?

[@brotha1984]

Cvt debacle is a no go my last Nissan Altima was a 2006 none cvt lasted me 13 years until head gaskets went out on me

[@beamer1385]

Very nice review! I have a 2020 SR 2.5L in the FWD version but mine does not have the electronic parking brake that you showed in your review car - is that an option only on the AWD version? A couple of other questions for you: (1) What is a good work-around to adding a CD player to this vehicle since it does not come with one. I'm a little old school and have an extensive CD collection that I would like to play in my car. (2) Can a rear lip spoiler be added to this SR model like some of the ones shown that has this already installed? This has been a good ride so far. Thanks my friend!

[@chadmartin6431]

Nice New look 🙂

[@waynewilliams1487]

Surprised they don’t have an SR version of the murano; especially since it looks like a race car. A family sports crossover? I’d buy it!

[@mccali2519]

goldpony please do 2019 bmw 8series next

[@goldpony]

Haha I'll give it a shot! 😁

[@Wanees23]

Try the new 2020 Nissan Maxima it’s going to be great experience 👍🏼

[@SexualChocolate696]

Yes it is! 2019 Maxima Owner and I ❤ it!

[@occckid123]

I feel more comfortable in the 2019 altima but the maxima is amazing in design

[@heslind]

How does the “quality” feel compared to the Camry?

[@calvinryon352]

I wouldn’t buy a Camry. I ordered one of these today however. Camry feels too cheap

[@kl1958]

It would be really nice if lower trim models (like the "S") version could be reviewed.

[@엄복동-j9j]

isn't it 2019 model? it's the same as my car.

[@CarlosValdez-nu4gn]

When the 2020 crv comes out can u review them

[@goldpony]

Definitely will! 😁

[@juniorj.5108]

Nice looking rims

[@molin2]

Great review, however, Nissan reliability has really gone down in the last decade. For example, the 2013-2016 Altima is known for high amount of CVT failures, see the Altima CVT settlement at www.altimacvtsettlement.com. The Maxima and Sentra also have high rate of failures. The CVT costs range from $4-7k to replace. I would never buy a Nissan again as the quality has gone down and the reliability is low in comparison to other brands.

[@occckid123]

The maxima since 2016 doesn't have a high rate of failure.

[@Shirokuma_Y]

AWD or VCTurbo, which one is recommended?

[@tousshong9438]

Well, it depends where you live? If you're encounter snows, rains and or ice occasionally, I will pick the AWD of power because on normal driving you don't really needs all the power while the none turbo does a great job on normal driving. I have own a 2015 Accord V6 and it has plenty power and I don't seems to use all that power so I decided to sell it and get the 2019 Altima SV AWD...I'm happy for the switch. I don't beat on my car because it's a V6 so under normal driving condition, the 4 banger will be more then adequate to pull you and your family from A to Z.

[@SexualChocolate696]

Does it come w/wheel locks?

[@occckid123]

Optional

[@MisterTwister88]

Its a $5000 option

[@BTCETHBNBLTC]

That hood overhang....can't stop looking at it on mine lol

[@tousshong9438]

Yeah, mine too but it's how it was designed. You can buy one of those rubber seals from eBay and insert it to make it seal tighter and/or looks better. Think that's what I'll do to my Altima.

[@andygill6051]

@@tousshong9438 great idea for the rubber seals Mr Schlong

[@SexualChocolate696]

[@JP-ri4kt]

Nissan cvt still crap??

[@justindockstader1468]

The simple answer is yes.

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

Lol no...I used to be a Nissan hater too, But however love my 16’ Altima. 46k miles no issues just one dead battery. As far as the Cvt goes I’ve driven many of vehicles with many different transmissions. 4spd(GM) 6spd (GM&Fords) 7 spd (18 Gle)8spd (Jeep & Dodge & GMC) 9 Spd (18’ traverse, 19 E-C class, Gls) So I’m not hater towards really any brand. I will say though what I love about my cvt like 9 speeds is there’s really no “Bad Gear” or “Gear hunting.” Simply put your foot in one place and you actually feel like you’re getting what your asking for. Rather it be economical, or sporty driving. I think in 13’ they started mimicking shifts. During very light acceleration (2300rpm or less) its a traditional cvt. Anything after that it’ll mimic gears which I find give you the power your asking for. I hope it stays reliable, but honestly all brands are putting forth equivalent efforts these days. I think if you take care of anything it’ll last nowadays.

[@BTCETHBNBLTC]

[@tousshong9438]

I disagree. I have own 3 cars with CVT,, Altima, Accord, and Subaru for 5 years and have not issues so I'm guessing you're just bashing on them like all others here on KZbin. I wouldn't go back to step automatic, hate the constant shifting as you're going on incline road, especially if it's a 4 cylinder vehicles. I love my CVT tranny.
