Nissan Altima Performance Overview
Nissan’s Altima has tracked a broad midsize-sedan performance arc across 55 verified tests spanning 1993 to 2025. Early L30 and L31 cars were defined by the 150-hp KA24DE inline-four and straightforward gasoline front-drive layouts, with a 1993 GXE reaching 60 mph in 9.1 seconds and the 1998 SE lowering that to 8.2. By the early 2000s, the formula shifted decisively with the 3.5-liter V6, as the 2002 3.5 SE cut the benchmark to 5.9 seconds.
That quicker pace carried into the later V6 era. In L32 form, engine choices expanded from the QR25DE four-cylinder to the 270-hp VQ35DE V6, and hybrid power also briefly joined the range. The 2008 3.5 SE Coupe recorded a 5.8-second 0-60 run, while the 2009 3.5 SE matched 5.8 seconds, establishing the model’s all-time best 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds. L33 kept the same basic naturally aspirated gasoline formula, with the 2013 3.5 SV posting 6.1 seconds.
Today’s L34 Altima uses 182- to 248-hp gasoline powertrains, including the turbocharged KR20DDET VC-Turbo alongside the naturally aspirated PR25DD. The current-generation benchmark remains the 2021 SR VC-Turbo’s 5.8-second 0-60 and 14.3-second quarter-mile at 99 mph, placing today’s quickest Altima alongside the fastest V6 cars recorded in earlier generations.

How we verify Nissan Altima performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Nissan Altima trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
