About This 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR

2016 Nissan Altima Performance and Engine

2.5-Liter Four-Cylinder with Xtronic CVT

Under the hood sits Nissan's well-regarded 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) marketed as Xtronic. This combination produces around 182 horsepower and delivers an EPA-estimated 27 city / 38 highway MPG — a meaningful advantage for Bay Area commuters who spend time on I-880, 92, or Highway 238. The CVT keeps the engine in its optimal power band, contributing to smooth acceleration and consistent fuel economy whether you're inching through Hayward traffic or cruising across the San Mateo Bridge.

Front-wheel drive keeps maintenance costs lower than all-wheel-drive alternatives and suits the mild Northern California climate perfectly. This drivetrain setup is well-suited for commuters who prioritize efficiency over performance extremes.

Nissan Altima SR Features and Interior

What the SR Trim Brings to the Table

The 2.5 SR trim steps up from the base S with a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, and distinctive exterior accents that give the Altima a more aggressive stance. Inside, the SR typically includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button start, a Bose audio system, and Nissan's NissanConnect infotainment system with a touchscreen display. Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, and available navigation make this a tech-equipped cabin that still feels relevant by today's standards.

The Altima's interior is spacious for a midsize sedan, with rear-seat legroom that rivals some larger vehicles. The 15.4-cubic-foot trunk is one of the largest in its class, a practical bonus for families, shoppers, or weekend travelers heading up to the Oakland Hills or down to Fremont.
