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.

Nissan Altima performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Nissan Altima on record is the 2021 Nissan Altima SR VC-Turbo, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.8 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.30 seconds at 99.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Nissan Altima is the 1999 Nissan Altima GXE, which takes 9.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.40 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 55 verified runs, a Nissan Altima reaches 60 mph in 7.12 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.47 seconds at roughly 92.1 mph.
We have verified test data for 20 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Nissan Altima can do, not a single marketing claim.
