Nissan's 2018 Altima will increase its base starting price $640 to $24,025 as it adds automatic braking and a frontal pre-collision warning as standard equipment, Nissan has announced.
Nissan will offer the 2018 Altima in four trim grades, including the S, SR, SV, and SL with two engine options, including a 2.5-liter four-cylinder (179 horsepower) and 3.5-liter V-6 (270 hp). Nissan pairs the engines with its Xtronic continuously variable transmission with D-Step shift logic.

Nissan is simplifying its Altima trims by eliminating the base 2.5 and 3.5 SR, meaning the V-6 is now only available of the top-trim SL. Pricing has been set for the 2.5 SR ($25,085), 2.5 SV ($26,670), 2.5 SL ($29,880), and 3.5 SL ($34,395).
For 2018, Nissan's Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning arrive as standard equipment across the lineup. The 3.5 SL adds Intelligent Cruise Control and NissanConnect with Navigation and Services, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Optional equipment includes a 7-inch color audio display and hands-free messaging assistant.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
