Every model comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that puts out 188 horses and 180 lb-ft of torque for FWD models and 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque for AWD models. However, the SV trim has an available 2.0-liter VC-Turbo turbo-four that pumps out 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque (with premium fuel). This engine variant is only available with FWD. Both engines are paired with the Xtronic CVT, though the SR VC-Turbo model also gets paddle shifters. The 2021 Nissan Altima has an EPA estimate of up to 28-MPG City and 39-MPG Highway.
