Nissan Altima 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The Nissan Altima is a well-established mid-size sedan in Saudi Arabia, offering a spacious five-seat cabin, strong standard equipment, and competitive pricing for the family car segment. The 2026 range opens at SAR 112,600 for the S (Base) and tops out at SAR 141,400 for the SL (Top).

All variants are powered by a 2.5 L naturally aspirated engine delivering 188 bhp, routed through a CVT gearbox. Fuel efficiency is competitive for the class — well-suited to Saudi Arabia's long-distance highway driving. The S (Base) provides a solid foundation with touchscreen connectivity and key safety features, while the SL (Top) steps up with leather upholstery, a premium sound system, a larger digital cockpit display, and Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving technology — a meaningful upgrade for buyers who cover significant distances on Saudi motorways.

Pros: rear-seat legroom is among the best in class — important for a market where rear passenger comfort is a priority. ProPilot Assist on the top trim is a genuinely useful technology for long inter-city drives. Cons: the CVT can feel sluggish under hard acceleration, which some buyers find less satisfying than the stepped automatics offered by rivals like the Toyota Camry. The design, while clean, is less visually distinctive than newer entries from Hyundai and Honda in this segment.

Residual value data for the Altima in Saudi Arabia is limited, but as one of the consistently strong-selling sedans in the Kingdom, it holds up reasonably well relative to the wider mid-size segment — supported by Nissan's broad service network and steady demand in the used market. 2022 Altima examples currently list from around SAR 52,000 on CarSwitch, offering meaningful savings versus the new price for buyers open to a recent used model.

Without a populated comparables list for this market, buyers typically consider the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata alongside the Altima — all family sedans in a similar price band, where the Altima often edges ahead on cabin space and standard tech but trails the Camry on resale certainty and the Accord on driving dynamics.

How much does the Nissan Altima cost in Saudi Arabia?

Every trim shares the same 2.5 L engine and CVT, so the ladder is purely about kit. SAR 112,600 for the S (Base) covers the essentials; SAR 141,400 for the SL (Top) adds leather, the larger wheels and the full driver-assistance package. The middle trim is where most of the useful equipment arrives.

Which Altima trim is the one to buy?

The middle one. It brings the alloy wheels, the upgraded infotainment and the safety kit that separates a modern sedan from a rental car, and it does so for a modest step over the base. The top trim adds comfort features that are pleasant but that no used buyer will pay you back for.

Nissan Altima or Toyota Camry?

The Altima gives you more car for the money — a bigger back seat, a more forgiving ride, and a lower entry price than anything comparable. The Toyota Camry is the stronger holder of value and the safer choice if you expect to sell within a few years. The Honda Accord is the one to drive.

What does a Nissan Altima cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Very little, provided the gearbox is looked after. The CVT is the one part of this car with a maintenance reputation, and it earns a long life when the fluid is changed on schedule rather than ignored. Otherwise parts are cheap and universally stocked, and every independent workshop in the country has worked on this platform.

Does the Nissan Altima hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Close to its class, a shade under: about 53% of the price after five years against roughly 56% for mainstream Japanese cars here, and 68% at three years. The Altimas CarSwitch inspects run a median of around 195,000 km, which tells you what they are used for. At that distance the CVT's behaviour, the front suspension and an unbroken service record decide one car's price against another's — read the report before agreeing one.
