When it arrives in dealerships on Nov. 11, the refreshed-for-2016 Nissan Altima sedan will start at $23,325, including an $825 destination charge; that's a $200 increase from the previous version and a bit more than the base price of Altima's main rival, the Honda Accord.

The automaker's best-selling car received a Maxima-like makeover for the 2016 model year, as well updated interior styling and features. Exterior design changes include a lower, more muscular front end; a new V-shaped grille; sculpted hood and fenders; and optional LED "boomerang" headlights and daytime running lights. Inside is a new center stack and cupholder design, available 5- and 7-inch multimedia screens, Nissan's Zero Gravity seats and soft-touch finishes on door panels. Upgraded tech features include Apple's Siri Eyes Free and NissanConnectSM with Mobile Apps, standard on all models above the base 2.5 trim.
The new SR trim adds 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, smoked headlights, paddle shifters, a rear spoiler, trim-specific suspension tuning and sporty interior accents. The SR trim is available on both 2.5 and 3.5 Altima models.
Under the hood in 2.5 models is a 182-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and in 3.5 models, there's a 270-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. EPA-estimated fuel economy for the four-cylinder is 27/39/31 mpg city/highway/combined, a 1 mpg improvement over the previous version's highway figure thanks in part to new aerodynamics. The V-6 gets 22/32/26 mpg, identical to the previous model's rating.
The 2016 Altima pricing structure is as follows:
- Base 2.5, $22,325
- 2.5 S, $23,725
- 2.5 SR, $25,295
- 2.5 SV, $26,285
- 2.5 SL, $29,395
- 3.5 SR, $28,215
- 3.5 SL, $32,915
