2026 Nissan Altima Soldiers on with New Appearance Package

Nissan is adding a new appearance option to the Altima lineup for 2026, called the Midnight Edition package available on the Altima SR. The SR trim also picks up some updated tech this year, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a wireless phone charging pad now included as standard equipment.

The 2026 Nissan Altima is on sale now, offered in two trims: SV and SR. Pricing starts at $27,580 before destination, and both trims can be ordered with either front-wheel drive or Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system.

The new SR Midnight Edition package focuses entirely on styling. It adds a blacked-out V-motion grille, black exterior badging, dark window trim, black 19-inch wheels, and a contrasting black roof. Buyers can pair the package with Super Black, Pearl White TriCoat, Tactical Green Metallic, or Gray Sky Pearl paint. The Midnight Edition also includes dual-zone automatic climate control and a moonroof, features that aren’t standard on the base SR.

At the entry point of the lineup, the Altima SV comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Nissan Safety Shield 360 driver-assistance features, and remote engine start. Two option packages are available. The SV Special Edition adds a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a moonroof. The SV Premium package goes further with 19-inch wheels, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, ProPILOT Assist, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Altima SR builds on the SV with a more performance-oriented setup, including 19-inch wheels, paddle shifters, a sport-tuned suspension, Active Ride Control, and Intelligent Trace Control. Inside, it adds a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity, a wireless charging pad, rear USB ports, and sport seats with contrast stitching. Exterior details include gloss black trim, sport exhaust tips, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.

An SR Premium package is also available, adding features such as a moonroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, ProPILOT Assist, a Bose nine-speaker audio system, and the Intelligent Around View Monitor.

The Altima SV with front-wheel drive starts at $27,580, while the all-wheel-drive version is priced at $28,980. The Altima SR starts at $29,080 with front-wheel drive and $30,480 with all-wheel drive. A destination and handling charge of $1,245 applies to all models.
