2025 Nissan Altima vs Honda Civic in Brandon, MB
If you want to put the thrill back into your ride, the 2025 Nissan Altima mid-size sedan is a perfect choice. An ideal urban vehicle, while still at home on the highway, the Altima is stable, safe, and responsive. You may be curious how it compares to other sedans in its class, though, so we’ve put it side-by-side with the Honda Civic. Read on with the experts at Fowler Nissan, as we compare these two sedans to see which one has the edge.
Standard Power
When it comes to the standard engines on these two vehicles, the Altima delivers right out of the gate. Its standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is more powerful than the standard 2.0L I4 engine in the Honda Civic, with 182 horsepower. We’ll grant the Civic can get up to 200 horsepower on the high-end trims, but you’re paying more to compete with the base level power output of the Altima. Combined with its 178 lb.-ft., the Altima offers great acceleration and thrilling speed.
All-Wheel Drive
Want an all-wheel drive vehicle? Then you aren’t buying a Honda Civic. The Civic is a responsive and sporty sedan, but it’s only available with rear-wheel drive. The 2025 Nissan Altima, meanwhile, comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, actively monitoring road conditions to deliver more torque as needed across the drivetrain. Behind the wheel of the Altima, you can drive with the handling and responsiveness of a sporty sedan, and the surefooted and smooth stability of an SUV.
Interior Space
One criticism about the Honda Civic is that it looks like a small car, and unfortunately, it feels like one on the inside, too. By comparison, the Nissan Altima looks and feels more mid-size, especially on the inside. It might not seem like much, but a matter of centimeters can make a big deal, especially when added up across front and rear headroom, legroom, shoulder room, and hip room – all of which the Altima has more of. You’re not sitting as snug in the Altima, and that makes for a more comfortable ride.
