Some things never seen to go out of style and a number of automakers apparently believe blackout editions fall into this category as we’ve seen countless versions over the years. The latest is the 2022 Nissan Altima Midnight Edition, which is based on the mid-level SR trim and available exclusively with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
As the name suggests, the Midnight Edition
has a dark appearance thanks to gloss black paint on the grille, spoiler and
19-inch aluminum wheels. The model also sports satin black badging and black
side mirrors with integrated turn signals. Besides the styling upgrades, the
special edition package adds LED fog lights and a moonroof. They’re joined by
heated front seats with two-way power lumbar support on the driver’s side.
Putting the special edition aside, the
2022 Nissan Altima starts at US$ 24,550 which is the same as last year’s model.
Pricing isn’t the only thing that carries over as the sedan continues to be
offered with two different powertrains including the aforementioned 2.5-liter
four-cylinder that develops up to 188 hp and 244
Nm of torque.
Customers can also opt for a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 236 hp and 362
Nm of torque. The latter engine is available exclusively on the Altima SR and
it raises the price from US$ 27,950 to US$ 30,900. It’s also worth noting the
turbocharged engine isn’t available with all-wheel drive.
