Does the Nissan Altima come with all-wheel drive?

Yes, all-wheel drive is available on the Altima, which is rare in the mid-size sedan class. Each listing on this page states the drivetrain of the specific car.

The Altima is the one to have if you want all-wheel drive or prioritise ride comfort. The Accord has stronger resale, a roomier rear seat and a hybrid option. Both are at Serra 280, so you can drive them the same afternoon.

A mid-size sedan with something almost nothing else in the class offers: available all-wheel drive. If you want sedan running costs and a driven rear axle, the list of candidates is short and this is on it.

All-wheel drive without buying an SUV

Most mid-size sedans are front-wheel drive only, which is why buyers who want a driven rear axle end up in a crossover they did not otherwise want — paying for height, weight and fuel they do not need. The Altima offers all-wheel drive in a sedan body. On a gravel road or a wet clay driveway that is the capability that actually matters here, and you get it without the crossover’s penalties.

Comfortable first, sporty second

The Altima is tuned for a quiet, settled ride rather than for keen handling, and the seats are among the better ones in the class on a long drive. If your driving is highway miles to Birmingham and back, that is the correct priority. If you want the sedan that feels sharpest through a bend, it is not this one and you should drive an Accord too — it is on the same lot.
