ZERO GRAVITY FRONT SEATS
INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS
REAL-TIME WEATHER AND TRAFFIC
Since you’ll be spending plenty of time behind the wheel, comfort inside the cabin matters. That means having ample space for you and your passengers, along with a well-designed selection of features that enhance convenience and everyday ease.
Comfort starts with space, and the more you have, the better each drive feels. With generous space to stretch out and settle in, the Nissan Altima makes it easier to find your ideal seating position and enjoy the ride, whether it's a quick commute or a long road trip. The Altima edges out the Camry in key interior dimensions, offering more room up front where it matters most.

Front Headroom | 39.1 in. | 38.3 in. |
Front Legroom | 43.8 in. | 42.1 in. |
Front Shoulder Room | 58.2 in. | 57.7 in. |
The Altima also gives you a bit more cargo space: 15.4 cubic feet compared to the Camry’s 15.1 cubic feet. That extra room may not seem like much on paper, but in practice, it's enough to carry a couple of extra grocery bags or throw in a last-minute item like a backpack, diaper bag, or small carry-on. It’s a difference you’ll appreciate when space is at a premium.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or have every seat filled, you want everyone on board to enjoy the ride. The Nissan Altima and the Toyota Camry offer similar available interior features designed to enhance every trip, including:
- 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat
- Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel
- Leather seating surfaces
- Power sliding glass moonroof
Settle in for the long haul with the Nissan Altima’s Zero Gravity Front Seats, inspired by the weightlessness of space to reduce pressure points and minimize fatigue. Designed for all-day comfort, these seats help you stay relaxed on long drives—and you won’t find them in the Camry.
If there’s one thing every driver values, it’s safety. Today’s vehicles are equipped with more advanced features than ever, thanks to innovative engineering and modern driver-assistance technologies. Here’s how the Nissan Altima and the Toyota Camry stack up when it comes to helping protect you and your passengers.
When it comes to safety, the Altima and the Camry provide advanced technologies that help you stay a step ahead of the unexpected. Each sedan is equipped with key driver-assistance features that support confident driving in busy traffic or on open roads. Their similar features include:
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- High Beam Assist
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
With their comprehensive safety suites, both sedans are built to support safer, more confident driving—giving you one less thing to think about every time you hit the road and allowing you to enjoy the drive more fully.
These driver-assistance technologies work in the background, keeping you aware of what’s happening around your vehicle—especially in hard-to-see areas. But what about keeping an eye on you? After a long stretch behind the wheel, fatigue can creep in. That’s where the Nissan Altima’s Intelligent Driver Alertness steps in, acting as a virtual copilot.
This system, standard in the Altima, monitors signs of drowsiness or distraction and issues an alert to help you stay focused. It’s an extra layer of protection to help keep you safe when you need it most. While the Toyota Camry offers a similar feature, it’s only available with a package add-on.
In today’s always-on world, your car plays a key role in keeping you connected. Intuitive in-car tech helps you stay in touch, access what you need, and remain focused on the drive. The more seamlessly your vehicle integrates with your digital life, the more you’ll look forward to every trip.
Both vehicles’ infotainment systems feature standard 8-inch center screens, with available 12.3-inch displays for an upgraded experience. These serve as the connectivity hub for Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, as well as climate control. Smartphone integration offers seamless access to your apps, maps, music, and more, keeping your digital life within reach on every drive.
The Nissan Altima and the Toyota Camry also offer a range of shared standard and available infotainment features, including:
- Wi-Fi® hotspot
- Wireless charger
- Intelligent Assistant
- Multiple USB ports
- SiriusXM®
With this level of tech at your fingertips, both sedans deliver a modern driving experience that keeps you connected, entertained, and in control—wherever the road takes you.
Staying ahead of changing weather and traffic conditions can help you prepare and adapt on the fly. That’s why the Nissan Altima offers available Real-Time Weather and Traffic updates. Simply input your destination, and you’ll get up-to-date insights into road conditions before and during your trip. It’s a smart, seamless feature found only in the Altima—ideal for navigating your next road trip with confidence.
The Nissan Altima also exclusively offers Amazon Alexa Built-in, giving you voice access to a variety of helpful tools while you drive. With Alexa, you can:
- Control smart home devices, like turning on lights, adjusting your thermostat, or opening the garage door
- Add items to your Amazon shopping list
- Set reminders and manage calendar events
- And much more
All of it works hands-free, so you can stay connected while remaining focused on the road ahead.
