Car leasing: 2022 Nissan Altima SV in Farmbrook

Car leasing: the 2022 Nissan Altima SV

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2022 Nissan Altima SV for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is the 2022 Nissan Altima SV for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the Altima

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and electrical system. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated 7.6 L/100 km combined: about 23 litres every 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.78. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Altima in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

Best uses

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the Altima on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
