Toyota Camry vs. Nissan Altima

PERFORMANCE

The 2023 Camry and the Altima possess a lot of similarities, even when it comes to what lies under the hood. If you’re looking for a model with tons of power and efficiency, both vehicles will cross your mind. However, you’ll want to pick the one that fits your needs best.

Engine Power & Performance 

Both vehicles are outfitted with 2.5L 4-cylinder engines; however, they each yield very different results. For instance, the Toyota Camry can boast 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

In comparison, the Nissan Altima falls behind with 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. 

More Options

The Toyota Camry also offers its drivers more options, with an available 301-horsepower, 3.5L V6 engine and even a hybrid version of the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. The Altima only offers an optional 2.0L VC-Turbo™ engine that maxes out at 248 horsepower. 

You won’t find a hybrid option with the Nissan Altima.

SAFETY

Safety is a top priority for the 2023 Camry and Altima. This is seen by the plethora of safety technologies offered in both vehicles. These features enhance your overall safety while helping you navigate the roads through alerts and potential automatic intervention. 

Advanced Safety Technologies 

Getting to your destination safely is the number one priority. Some of the safety features you’ll find included with both sedans are: 

* Forward collision alert 

* Forward automatic emergency braking 

* Lane departure notice 

* Automatic high beam assist 

While both the Camry and Altima come equipped with these safety features, the Camry offers more standard features than the Altima. 

Available Safety Features

Features like Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Range Cruise Control, and Road Sign Assist are included in its Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ suite to help provide 360-degree protection. Plus, with the Road Sign Assist system, you’ll always know the speed limit—even in unfamiliar areas—since a camera scans the roadways for signs and projects them onto your Multi-Information Display. 

These additional features are offered with the Nissan Altima, but you can only get them by upgrading to a higher trim level. 

TECHNOLOGY

Whether you’re driving to work or taking the kids out on a weekend adventure, you’ll have plenty of technology inside these sedans to enhance your drive. From pulling up the directions to turning up the audio, which model gives you the best features?

Audio Entertainment

Both the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima include high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen displays that are mounted into their respective dashboards. They also share a number of different features. For instance, both models can be upgraded to a 9-speaker audio system.

However, you’ll find more connectivity features on the base trim of the Toyota Camry.

More Connectivity 

Each vehicle includes connectivity features, like Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, which sync your phone to the touchscreen. Those come standard on all Camry trims but will only be on upper Altima trim levels.

Additionally, the 2023 Toyota Camry includes Amazon Alexa compatibility, which syncs to your home device, allowing you to access your assistance features while you’re out on the road.
