Update: The original version of this story noted that the Nissan Altima was being discontinued. Nissan issued a statement to Motor1 contradicting the original Wards Auto report, noting that the Altima will live on for at least one more year. A company spokesperson said:
'The Nissan Altima remains an important part of our lineup, meeting the needs of sedan buyers today. We continue to see strong customer interest and later this year we will introduce a 2027 Model Year. Nissan is committed to the sedan segment, offering customers stylish, affordable cars equipped with convenient, entertaining, and safety-enhancing technologies. The all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra is a great example of this approach. We continue to enhance and refresh our model line, with exciting plans in development, but we don’t have anything further to share at this time.'
