Used car prices have gone haywire this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a good deal. If you’re looking for a midsize sedan, then we suggest looking at cars that are older than three years to find something for a reasonable price. Some good examples include the 2018 Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.

Both of these sedans are spacious, sensible, and offer a lot of comfort. However, they’re pretty different. Let’s take a closer look and compare them.

The Toyota Camry received big styling updates for 2018, while the Nissan Altima did not

If you’re shopping for the 2018 model year, you’ll find that the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima contrast each other well. The Camry was updated for 2018 while the Altima was on its way to ending its fifth generation. As such, Toyota updated the styling of the Camry to feature a far more angular and attractive look.

The Nissan Altima, on the other hand, has looked the same since the 2013 model year. And while it still had an attractive and curvy figure, it didn’t look as handsome as the updated Camry. However, if you’re shopping for an Altima of this vintage and want it to look sporty, then we recommend finding an SR trim level, which has special wheels and sporty exterior enhancements.

Both sedans have spacious interiors, but the Toyota Camry has a slight advantage

When looking at the 2018 Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima’s interiors, you can see that both provide plenty of space and style. We think that the Camry’s interior looks a little more stylish, given the year that the car was made. However, the Altima does have comfortable “zero gravity” front seats, which is an added plus.

Although, the Camry has an ace up its sleeve by providing rear-seat passengers a little more legroom and available quilted leather seats and wood trim. If you’re choosing between these two, we would have to agree with Autotrader, which stated, “the Camry is hands down the winner in interior design over the Altima. There’s nothing wrong with the Nissan’s interior; it just doesn’t look nearly as good as the one in the Toyota.”

The Toyota Camry has a little more to offer in the technology department

Regarding the tech features in both of these cars, the 2018 Toyota Camry has a little more to offer. Every 2018 Camry comes with Toyota’s Safety Sense P, which consists of driver-assist features like a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-departure with steering assist, auto high beams, and adaptive cruise control.

Other tech features on the Camry include the Entune 3.0 infotainment system with an available 8-inch touchscreen and a 9-speaker JBL sound system. A 10-inch head-up display is also available, as well as Toyota’s Remote Connect app, which allows you to monitor your Camry at all times.

The Nissan Altima comes standard with a NissanConnect 5-inch infotainment system in addition to Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Stepping up to the higher trims will unlock more premium features like leather seats, a V6 engine, and a Bose premium audio system. For a sportier look, try looking for an Altima SR, and for tech features like blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and remote start, find an Altima SV.

Although the Altima provides many tech features for the money, we think that the Camry has it beat in this department.

Both cars have similar engines

As for the powertrains, both of these sedans are powered by either a four-cylinder or a V6 under the hood. The Toyota Camry’s base engine is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The available 3.5-liter V6 provides more power as it’s rated at 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque.

The Nissan Altima is also powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 179 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is slightly less than the Camry’s. And if you upgrade to the 3.5-liter V6, you’ll get 270 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque. In that case, if power is what you seek, then the Toyota Camry could be the better way to go.

2018 Toyota Camry vs. 2018 Nissan Altima: Which sedan should you choose?

If you’re looking for a good blend of reliability, comfort, and power, we suggest finding a 2018 Toyota Camry. Don’t get us wrong, the Nissan Altima is still a great choice, but the Camry could present a better value proposition.
