The 2027 Nissan Altima in Martinsville, VA

Three grades, 188 horsepower, up to 36 mpg highway, and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on the SR.

The 2027 Lineup

What Is New on the 2027 Nissan Altima?

The 2027 Nissan Altima arrives in Martinsville VA with a streamlined three grade lineup: SV front-wheel drive, SR front-wheel drive and SR all-wheel drive. Every Altima runs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 188 horsepower with front-wheel drive, paired to an Xtronic CVT. Nissan lists it as on sale now.

Gunter Nissan sits at 4760 Greensboro Rd in Ridgeway, a few hundred yards up the same road from the Martinsville Speedway administration and ticketing building at 4201 Greensboro Rd.

Nissan's own word for the 2027 arrangement is "streamlined." The 2027 Altima drops to three grades, and the all-wheel drive option now sits on the SR. The SV is the entry car and is front-wheel drive.

What has not moved is the shape of the thing. The 2027 Altima is still a five-seat midsize sedan with a 15.4 cubic foot trunk, a 111.2-inch wheelbase and a 192.9-inch overall length. The body carries over from the outgoing car.

Grade Walk

How Many Grades Does the 2027 Altima Come In?

Three. Nissan lists the 2027 Altima as SV FWD, SR FWD and SR AWD. The SV is the entry grade with an 8-inch display standard. The SR adds 19-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, paddle shifters, a 12.3-inch HD display and the option of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

Grade equipment is read from Nissan's 2027 Altima press kit, published October 14 2026. Equipment can change during a model year and builds vary, so call before you drive out if a specific feature is the reason you are buying.

Two-tone paint is an SR thing. Nissan pairs Pearl White TriCoat, Gun Metallic or Gray Sky Pearl with a Super Black roof on that grade. The white car with the black roof photographed higher up this page is wearing it.

Nineteen-inch alloy wheels come with the SR grade, not the SV. Worth a look in person at 4760 Greensboro Rd, a few hundred yards up the road from the Martinsville Speedway administration and ticketing building at 4201 Greensboro Rd.
Drivetrain

Does the 2027 Nissan Altima Come With All-Wheel Drive?

Yes, on one grade. Nissan offers Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on the 2027 Altima SR only. That matters on US-220 north of Martinsville, where the Virgil H. Goode Highway climbs between Cahas Mountain and the Blue Ridge and crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway at Murray Gap in winter weather.

The AWD badge on the trunk lid only turns up on the SR. That is the grade to look at if your winter includes the 51-mile run up US-220 north toward Rocky Mount and Roanoke.

Why This Is Rare in a Midsize Sedan

Most midsize sedans sold in Virginia are front-wheel drive and stay that way. An all-wheel drive midsize sedan is an unusual thing to be able to buy at all, and on the 2027 Altima it costs you six horsepower and three highway mpg.

When Front-Wheel Drive Is Enough

If your driving is Martinsville to Collinsville to Bassett and back, the SV front-wheel drive is the sensible car. Henry County roads get cleared. We would rather tell you that than sell you a drivetrain you use twice a year.

If you want more ground clearance than any sedan offers, the Nissan Rogue is the next conversation.

Fuel Economy

What Gas Mileage Does the 2027 Altima Get?

The 2027 Nissan Altima is EPA-rated at 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. The SR AWD rates 25 city, 33 highway and 28 combined. On the 51-mile US-220 run from Martinsville to Roanoke, 36 mpg is roughly 1.4 gallons.

GradeCityHighwayCombined
Altima SV FWD26 mpg36 mpg30 mpg
Altima SR FWD26 mpg36 mpg30 mpg
Altima SR AWD25 mpg33 mpg28 mpg

Two local runs put that in context. Martinsville to Danville is 30 miles on US-58, about 36 minutes. Martinsville to Roanoke is 51 miles on US-220 north, close to an hour, with Rocky Mount at the halfway point.

Both are highway drives, which is where the 2027 Altima's 36 mpg figure lives. These are EPA estimates and your own number will be lower in winter and with a loaded trunk. Compare ratings at fueleconomy.gov.

Inside the Cabin

What Technology Is Inside the 2027 Altima?

The 2027 Nissan Altima comes with an 8-inch display on the SV and a 12.3-inch HD color display standard on the SR. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless on the SR. Zero Gravity front seats are standard, and wireless phone charging is available.

The 12.3-inch HD color display is standard on the SR. Wireless phone mirroring is standard there too, which is worth something on the 30-mile US-58 run east to Danville.

The Screen Split

The jump from the SV's 8-inch screen to the SR's 12.3-inch HD color display is the single most visible difference between the two 2027 Altima grades. The SV can be optioned up to the larger screen.

What Carries Across Both

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard
  • Zero Gravity front seats, which Nissan calls class-exclusive
  • Rear Door Alert and Easy-Fill Tire Alert
  • Available wireless phone charging
  • Available ProPILOT Assist

The SR also adds rear air vents and rear USB ports, which is the detail that matters if the back seat is usually occupied.

Safety

What Safety Features Are Standard on the 2027 Altima?

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every 2027 Altima grade. It bundles Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist. LED headlights, Rear Door Alert and Easy-Fill Tire Alert are also standard.

Automatic Emergency Braking

With Pedestrian Detection. The system watches ahead and can brake on its own. Useful on Greensboro Road when race weekend traffic stacks up at the Speedway entrance.

Blind Spot Warning

Flags a vehicle sitting beside you. US-220 north of Ridgeway runs four lanes with regular merges, which is exactly where a blind spot gets you.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Calls out traffic crossing behind you as you back out. Worth having in a packed lot off Commonwealth Boulevard on a Saturday.

Rear Automatic Braking

Brakes for an obstacle behind the car while reversing. The 2027 Altima is 192.9 inches long, so the back of it is a fair distance from the driver's seat.

Lane Departure Warning

Sounds when the car drifts over a line without a signal. The US-58 run east to Danville is thirty straight miles, which is where attention goes.

High Beam Assist

Switches the LED high beams down for oncoming traffic. Most of the roads between Stuart, Bassett and Martinsville have no streetlights at all.

LED headlights with High Beam Assist are standard on every 2027 Altima grade. That is equipment you notice on US-220 north out of Ridgeway, the Virgil H. Goode Highway, after dark.

Safety Shield 360 content is listed in Nissan's 2027 Altima press kit, published October 14 2026. No driver assistance system replaces an attentive driver.

Martinsville and Henry County

Why Buy a 2027 Altima in Martinsville, VA?

Gunter Nissan of Martinsville sits at 4760 Greensboro Rd in Ridgeway, a few hundred yards from Martinsville Speedway's administration and ticketing building at 4201 Greensboro Rd. Danville has its own Nissan franchise 30 miles east, so the honest question is which store you would rather deal with.

We are a single-point Nissan store in a small market. Martinsville is a city of about 13,000 and Henry County holds roughly 50,000. That is the whole business, which is why the 2027 Altima you buy here is sold by someone you will see again at the grocery store.

If you live in Danville, we are not going to pretend the 36-minute drive on US-58 is nothing. Go price both. If you live in Collinsville, Bassett, Stuart or Ridgeway, we are the closest Nissan franchise and it is not close.

Lifetime Powertrain Program

Complimentary powertrain coverage on qualified new Nissan vehicles and select pre-owned vehicles bought here, adding up to four years and up to 60,000 miles. It requires maintenance on covered components every six months and a complimentary inspection every 30,000 miles. European brands are excluded. Read the full terms.

Trade and Finance First

Get a number on your current car before you come in, and start the paperwork from your kitchen table. Value your trade or open the finance page, then drive the 2027 Altima knowing where you stand.

Service on the Same Road

Oil changes, tires and warranty work happen at 4760 Greensboro Rd, four miles from downtown Martinsville. Schedule service online. Service runs Monday to Friday 7:30am to 5:30pm and Saturday 8:00am to 2:00pm.

If the 2027 Altima is more sedan than you need, the Nissan Sentra is the smaller car in the same showroom. If you would rather spend the money on a used one, the used inventory turns over weekly.

By the Numbers

What Are the 2027 Nissan Altima Specs?

What Do Drivers Near Martinsville Say About Gunter Nissan?

Frequently Asked Questions

What Else Do Martinsville Drivers Ask About the 2027 Altima?

Short answers to the questions that decide an Altima purchase: all-wheel drive, fuel economy, trunk space, the CVT and warranty coverage. Every 2027 Nissan Altima figure below comes from Nissan's own October 2026 press materials, and the warranty terms come from the program page on this website.

Does the 2027 Nissan Altima come with all-wheel drive?

Yes, on one grade. Nissan offers Intelligent All-Wheel Drive on the 2027 Altima SR, and the SV is front-wheel drive only. If your week includes US-220 north over the Blue Ridge toward Rocky Mount and Roanoke in winter, the SR AWD is the one to drive.

How many miles per gallon does the 2027 Nissan Altima get?

Nissan lists the 2027 Altima at 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. The SR AWD rates 25 city, 33 highway and 28 combined. Those are EPA estimates. Real figures move with load, weather, tire pressure and how hard you run US-58.

How many trims does the 2027 Nissan Altima have?

Three. Nissan lists SV FWD, SR FWD and SR AWD for 2027 and calls the lineup a streamlined gradewalk. The SV is the entry grade with an 8-inch display. The SR adds a 12.3-inch HD color display, 19-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, paddle shifters and the all-wheel drive option.

Does the 2027 Nissan Altima have a CVT?

Yes. Every 2027 Altima pairs the 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an Xtronic CVT. There is no manual and no conventional torque-converter automatic in the lineup. Some buyers like the way a CVT holds revs on a long grade and some do not, so drive one on US-220 before you decide.

How much trunk space does the 2027 Nissan Altima have?

The 2027 Altima holds 15.4 cubic feet in the trunk and seats five. That is a full-size sedan trunk, not a hatch, so it takes suitcases and race weekend coolers well and tall boxes less well. Check the opening yourself if you regularly haul something awkward.

What does Gunter Nissan's Lifetime Powertrain Program cover?

It is complimentary powertrain coverage on qualified new Nissan vehicles and select pre-owned vehicles bought from us, adding up to four years and up to 60,000 miles. You keep it by having covered components maintained every six months and taking a complimentary inspection every 30,000 miles. European brands are excluded. Ask us which Altima builds qualify.
