2020 Nissan Altima 2.0 Turbo - MPG Test | Real-world Highway Fuel Economy

[@ProBenja5]

Everyone hates Nissan for the CVT, but this is where it shines, it's always over the EPA rating. We still have to see how their newest CVT's do in reliability.

[@qnzman578]

True, I used to have a 3.5 altima and it would get great gas milage especially being a v6. I got a naturally aspirated v6 infiniti m35x after that which felt smoother but was nowhere near the same mpgs as my altima despite very similar power

[@gerardogonzalez1217]

Amazing. Their cvts are much much better

[@TheGuruStud]

@@qnzman578 3900 lb and awd with sports car gearing 😂. Wtf did you expect?

[@slowspecv69]

@@TheGuruStudthose 5spd autos definitely didn’t have performance oriented gearing, long and generally lazy gears. The awd isn’t gonna directly effect the mpg like a Subaru does since it’s rwd 99 percent of the time. Though lugging around the extra weight which you’ve highlighted won’t help.

[@occckid123]

The miles 2 empty 4 the tank doesn't change very fast with the altima. It takes a while. Sometimes after 200 miles. I constantly get in the 600's for a tank and sometimes 700+ mile tanks on my 2016.

[@GaganGrewalf095]

The blind spot warning indicator is the best implementation I have seen yet. Next best is in Audi. The warning indicator placed directly on the mirror itself is a bit limited in rainy and/or dark.

[@olvera6710]

Mazda is pretty nice too if you have the head up display.

[@muthaflaco75]

My gf has a 2018 Maxima. We drove from Missoula Montana almost to salt lake on one tank of premium at 89 mph most of the way on cruise. They get good mileage.

[@kensofuego5928]

The fuel ramge of your Nissan Altima display varies when you fill up gas tank depends on your driving habits. I seen my fuel tank range display go up to 500 miles of range

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

So far from Tx-Va it averaged 36-37mpg the entire way. From Va-Sc it averaged right at 40mpg. From Sc-Fl 36mpg. Pretty efficient for the power and that’s using cruise control going 75-80mph most of the way. Va-Sc I drove about 73mph.

[@andrewcash3855]

VC Turbo or 2.5L?

[@NissanAltimaGuy]

@@andrewcash3855 Vc turbo

[@Jimster481]

Wow that is great information. I've seen mixed results with the vc turbo so far.

[@baldheadlogic]

I am surprised at the mpg especially considering that this is the VC Turbo. Besides the CVT change, Nissan needs to offer this engine with AWD. Also, those cheap looking tail lamps should be LED on the Platinum model

[@tousshong9438]

FYI: For 2021 Nissan dose offer the Altima 2.0T in AWD form now so you can go buy it.

I rented a 2.5 naturally aspirated version of this car drove from Connecticut to Florida, averaged 45+ the whole way

[@occckid123]

My friend just rented the altima to drive from NY.to NC and he also got 45mpg. My other friend got 47 going from New York to Florida in his own altima when he moved there with a packed car.

[@derrickleflore5618]

I drove my Altima to Fort Lauderdale from the Pearl, Mississippi. I was getting around 560 miles on 1 full tank.

[@gregorywalker4997]

nice review, liked and subscribed. maybe not enough miles. i have had this happen on short hiway mileage in the 100 mile range. wouldn't make sense to run a whole tank on the highway, but that might be the only way to get rid of anomalies.

The gas gauge didn’t move after over 100 miles? 😂 I need that In my life

[@BroadwayLTDProductions]

The CVT’s are actually decent if you change the fluid like you are supposed to.

The needle doesn't move after 150 miles in my 2016 altima that had a larger tank than this.

Lmfao you passed I-96 and Latson. I live right near that exit. You actually did better than I do with my Versa in terms of gas mileage. But I also drive 80mph on the freeway. Lol

Nice! Lol yeah 80 will do it.

My vc turbo runs out pretty quick imo. Maybe because I'm going over 100 at 2am every day ? I'm thinking 70mph is the answer

I didn't sleep very good last night, I have a sleep disorder called non24, and it is annoying! It's a sleep disorder in blind people. It's kind of hard to explain.

Some people don’t like 2020 Altima and they complain about the CVT. It’s not much different. 2020 Altima is just like a 2016 Altima . It has the same engine. 2020 Altima drives like a 2016 Altima.

[@occckid123]

It handles engine power much differently and gives a bit better mpg than the old 1 though not crazy noticeable because the tank is smaller in the new 1.
