2021 Nissan Altima Interior

Jan 7, 2021

The new 2021 Nissan Altima is a midsize family sedan that was completely revamped just a few years ago. As one of the newer options in the segment, the 2021 Nissan Altima offers an impressive number of cutting-edge interior and technology features. Here’s what you’ll find inside the 2021 Nissan Altima.

The 2021 Nissan Altima has seating for up to five people, with enough space for most adults in both rows. The seats are some of the cushiest in the midsize car class and come with side bolsters that help keep you and your passengers secure through twisting turns. In the front seat, you’ll enjoy 43.8 inches of legroom and 39.2 inches of headroom. Rear-seat passengers have 35.2 inches of legroom and 36.9 inches of headroom. This is equivalent to a total passenger volume of 100.8 cubic feet.

To maximize comfort on long commutes, Nissan designed its seats with 14 pressure points that help your spine maintain its natural position at all times. These “Zero Gravity” seats are inspired by NASA’s space technology and are said to reduce fatigue and stress during long drives. Zero Gravity seats also help improve the interior’s overall feel.

To improve driver comfort, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat comes standard and enables you to find the perfect setting to maximize ergonomics and visibility. This seat comes with a memory feature that allows you to lock your position into place. If a family member or friend borrows the vehicle, just press a button, and your seat immediately goes back to where you left it.

To make sure child seats get installed securely and safely, the seats are equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system.

Materials

Nissan outfitted the 2021 Altima with premium interior materials, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood tones on the dash, and matte chrome accents on the center controls, shifter, and steering wheel. Accent lighting allows you to see knobs and handles at night. Interior seating materials range from stylish charcoal cloth to durable sport cloth to gray leather. An available Active Noise Cancellation keeps the cabin peaceful, even on bustling highways and city streets.

Cargo Space

The 2021 Nissan Altima’s cabin has plenty of storage space for personal items. It also features cup holders that can accommodate cups or mugs with handles — a welcome feature for individuals who love their morning coffee.

With 15.4 cubic feet of trunk space, the 2021 Altima has average-sized cargo space for its class. The car’s standard 60/40 split-folding rear seat expands the cargo space, which makes it easy to stow longer, bulkier items. Its trunk also has a large opening, making it easy to load cargo.

Technology Features

The interior of the 2021 Nissan Altima is packed with high-tech gadgets that allow you to stay connected while out and about. One of the 2021 Nissan Altima’s most impressive interior tech features is its 8-inch floating touch-screen infotainment system, which sits at the center of the dash, above the central air vents. The screen is intuitive to use and responsive to inputs. Buttons placed below the screen make operating it handy. A separate, comprehensive 7-inch information display unit sits directly in front of the driver. It displays crisp images and text.

Other features of the 2021 Nissan Infotainment system include:

Nissan Connect Services with HD radio and SiriusXM.
AUX inputs, two USB Type-C ports, and two standard USBs.
Nine-speaker Bose audio system with Bluetooth.
Siri Eyes Free, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Speed-sensitive volume control.
Steering-sensitive volume control.
Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls.
Door-to-door navigation with detailed real-time Premium Traffic information.
Nissan voice recognition for navigation and audio.

Safety Features

Apart from its impressive infotainment system, the 2021 Nissan Altima comes with a new set of advanced safety features, which are bundled as the Nissan Safety Shield 360 package. This package is standard across the Altima lineup, highlighting the brand’s dedication to the safety of its passengers. The 2021 Nissan Altima’s interior safety technologies include:

Traction control system: The traction control system helps you maintain traction on road surfaces. It also helps control each wheel, provide individual braking, and prevent tires from losing their grip on rough surfaces or during bad weather conditions.
Nissan ProPILOT Assist: Nissan’s new ProPILOT Assist is an advanced driving assistance system that combines Nissan’s Steering Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control technologies. It comes with a stop and hold function that brings the car to a full stop, holds it in place, and brings you back up to speed when traffic begins moving.
Automatic emergency braking (ABS): The ABS immediately takes control of the brakes when it detects a possible collision.
Around-view camera: The around-view camera is a support technology that helps you park easier using a virtual bird’s-eye view from above the car. The camera helps you confirm the car’s position relative to the lines around parking spaces.
Zero body construction with rear and front crumple zones: The crumple zones help reduce the impact force in the event of a collision and redistribute it to various areas to prevent serious injuries.
Blind-spot monitoring system: A part of the reverse parking system, the blind-spot monitoring system detects vehicles moving into spaces around your vehicle to help you drive safely.
Lane departure warning system: This system helps you keep the car safely in its lane. It uses the front sensors to monitor the car and alert you in case of a departure. The system also makes necessary adjustments to the steering to hold you in your lane.
