When you’re shopping for a reliable, stylish, and well-equipped midsize sedan, two models likely top your list: the 2025 Nissan Altima and the 2025 Honda Accord. Both are popular choices with strong reputations — but which one is the better fit for your lifestyle, especially if you’re driving through all four Ohio seasons? At Fred Martin Nissan in Akron, we’ve helped thousands of local drivers compare these top models. Here’s what you need to know before you buy.

For Ohio drivers dealing with snow, rain, and unpredictable conditions, traction and control matter.

Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive — ideal for Ohio winters. Fuel-efficient 2.5L 4-cylinder engine (standard). Optional 2.0L VC-Turbo™ engine for sportier performance. Smooth ride and confident handling.

Front-wheel drive only — no AWD option. Two turbocharged engine options, but no all-weather capability. Slightly sportier handling in top trims, but limited drivetrain versatility.

Why it matters: Only the Altima offers AWD — a key advantage in Northeast Ohio.

Both sedans offer modern interiors, but the Altima goes the extra mile for daily comfort and intuitive connectivity.

Zero Gravity front seats for enhanced long-trip comfort. Available 12.3-inch HD touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Quiet cabin with premium finishes available on higher trims.

Minimalist dash layout with digital controls. Available 12.3-inch touchscreen (on higher trims). Smartphone integration included. Less contouring in front seats; firmer ride quality.

Why it matters: Altima focuses more on driver comfort and everyday usability.

Safety is a top priority, and both sedans deliver — but the Altima gives drivers a bit more highway help.

Nissan Safety Shield® 360, including: Automatic Emergency Braking w/ Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning. Available ProPILOT Assist for highway driving.

Honda Sensing®, with: Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition. No semi-autonomous drive feature like ProPILOT.

Why it matters: Both are safe, but Altima offers more hands-on driving support.

When it comes to your bottom line, the Altima delivers standout value without sacrificing features.

Lower starting MSRP than the Honda Accord. All-wheel drive available without jumping to a luxury price point. Generously equipped SV and SR trims. Strong reliability and warranty coverage.

Higher starting price. Premium features limited to upper trims. Great resale value but costlier up front.

Why it matters: The Altima stretches your dollar further without cutting corners.

Choosing between the 2025 Nissan Altima and the 2025 Honda Accord? For Ohio drivers who care about all-season performance, comfort, and getting the most for their money, the Altima takes the lead.

Available AWD for all-weather driving. Lower starting price and excellent value. Comfort-focused interior with cutting-edge tech. Driver assistance with available ProPILOT Assist.
