Convenience

Since both the Nissan Altima and Honda Accord are exceptional sedans, it’s the little things that make the difference.

Fill up at the gas station less often with the Nissan which has a fuel tank of 16.2 gallons while the Honda is at 14.8 gallons. Bring along more stuff in the Altima with a split-folding rear seat while the Acord features a full bench. Start your Nissan from anywhere with a remote start which is standard even on the base trim.

Technology

Modern technology adds so much to the driving experience and the Altima delivers. With the base model, you have a six-speaker audio system as compared to a four-speaker system with the Honda. Voice recognition is standard with this trim while it isn’t even available with the base Honda Accord.
