Nissan Altima Horsepower by Year

The Nissan Altima’s listed horsepower ranges from 150 to 270 hp across the catalog years 1999-2022. The figure is a range for the vehicle line, not one rating that applies to every Altima. The specific horsepower depends on the model year and engine, so use the value for the year and configuration shown in the catalog rather than treating the endpoints as a rating for your car.

Horsepower figures can change between years as engines and available configurations change. A trim name alone may not identify the exact engine or its rating, and the range does not show which value belongs to each year or configuration. If you need a figure that is not listed for your particular Altima, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

Catalog horsepower and torque by year.

The largest stored change occurs between 2001 and 2002, when horsepower increases.
