About this model

2018 Nissan Altima

Середньорозмірний седан · generation 2013–2024

Our takeНайдешевший спосіб отримати mid-size sedan з США. Але обов'язково перевіряйте CVT перед покупкою — найкраще брати лоти з пробігом до 150 000 км або з документами про заміну варіатора.

Strengths

Найдешевший в сегменті mid-size — багато лотів на Copart по $3–7k
Двигун 2.5L QR25DE — простий, без турбо, ремонтопридатний
Просторий салон, м'яка підвіска під українські дороги

Weaknesses

CVT варіатор JF017E — слабке місце, типова заміна $3 000+ після 150 000 км
Інтер'єр з дешевого пластику до 2019

Official recalls

Latches/Locks/Linkages
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owners Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: Recall 16V-029 remains open for any unremedied 2013-2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V-029 even if those repairs have already been performed.
