2024 Nissan Altima
 

Ready for a zippy new sedan as your everyday car? The 2024 Nissan Altima is a great new vehicle for daily commutes in Torrance, weekly errands in Compton, and weekend getaways in Gardena. It’s got a high-tech interior, enough cargo space in the trunk for your shopping trips and longer journeys, and an engine that makes every drive more fun.

Read our guide to the 2024 Nissan Altima specs from Nissan of Torrance near Carson. We’ll dive into the horsepower, torque, and Nissan Altima mpg with a closer look at the Nissan Altima engine. 

2024 Nissan Altima Specs for Engine

With one exception, the 2024 Nissan Altima engine is the same across all trims. It’s an efficient 2.5L inline-four engine. The SR VC-Turbo® is the other available Nissan Altima engine using a 2.0L turbo inline-four power plant. 

The Nissan Altima specs for the SR VC-Turbo® engine push the power to 248 hp when you use premium fuel (236 hp with regular).
