Explore a direct comparison and contrast of the 2018 Toyota Camry and the 2018 Nissan Altima, and learn where to go to take a test drive of the winner.

What’s New?

Both the 2018 Toyota Camry and the new Nissan Altima have been fully redesigned this year, bringing a wealth of new features to the tables. The Camry offers a complete redesign of its rear suspension to improve driving experience, a sleeker, sportier styling, a longer wheelbase for better stability, and a choice of design themes depending on your trim level choice.

The new Altima’s redesign will also debut a sportier, more fastback-influenced design this year, as well as a new rear end which while sportier, may limit headroom in the back seat. The cabin is going to be higher end as well, with better technology, larger touch screen, an advanced audio system, better connectivity and easier use.

Technology

Technology is always in demand from discerning drivers. As technology moves forward, auto manufacturers are always scrambling to keep up with the latest and greatest. This year’s redesign brings an unique opportunity to the table for both manufacturers, and the Camry continues to upgrade its already superb technology options.

The Altima will certainly provide the latest version of its impressive NissanConnect services with premium audio systems, rearview camera and the like, but the Camry’s multi-information display, wireless charging, voice command technology, and high end infotainment options as well as the latest and greatest in driver assist technology will keep it at the head of the pack.

Exterior Design

Both vehicles are getting a really sleek new design this year from front to back, adding sportier lines and a slick profile. Both are going to be really eye-popping, but the Altima has a lot farther to go, since its outgoing design wasn’t the sharpest on the market. In addition, it’s expected that the new rear end will limit headroom in the back seat, so the Toyota’s design, a natural evolution of an already sharp-looking vehicle, keeps it ahead.

Safety Technology

Safety is of course one of the most important aspects of any car that’s going to be used by families all over the nation. Again, both of these cars have outstanding safety packages and you’ll get the best available in both cars. Whichever you take, there’s no doubt your family will remain safe. It’s difficult to make an exact comparison here as the new Altima details haven’t yet been released in this area, but it’s certain that they’ll continue the brand’s respected legacy of safety, and the Toyota does the same, improving already great safety features.
