2023 Nissan Altima (left) and 2023 Subaru Legacy (right) shown with available features.

 

2023 Subaru Legacy

While models like the 2023 Subaru Legacy are revered for their safety and mechanical capabilities, we at Western Avenue Nissan would like to turn your attention to the 2023 Nissan Altima. This fine contender doesn't shy away from a challenge, so we've pitted these midsize sedans against each other to show you how brightly the latter car shines. 

Performance

While both models start out with a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, they perform differently. This will be immediately recognized as the 2023 Altima's 188 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque supersedes the 182 horsepower and 176 lb.-ft. of torque provided by the 2023 Legacy. Even with this extra verve, the Nissan car boasts an estimated 28/39 MPG city/hwy1 fuel rate. Unfortunately, Subaru car remains in second place, since it only musters up 27/35 MPG city/hwy2. And, if it's Subaru's AWD that you're after, you'll be happy to learn that the Altima also includes available Intelligent AWD3 on select trim levels. That way, you'll be able to confidently go about your drives with success!

Safety

The 2023 Nissan Altima continues to stay in the lead with a wealth of driver-assist technologies that are sure to grant you a little extra peace of mind when you're cruising down the Stevenson Expressway. Sometimes, a long day on the job can cause your focus to be unintentionally diverted. Nissan understands this dilemma, which is why the Altima was implemented with standard Intelligent Driver Alertness4. This feature can detect distraction and will chime, so you can recompose yourself accordingly. Also standard are Blind Spot Warning5 and Rear Automatic Braking6. The former can let you know when you're too close to a nearby motorist to safely switch lanes, while the latter can help bring you to a stop if a reversal maneuver lends the same risk. While the 2023 Subaru Legacy offers their own versions of the aforementioned amenities, they are only optional on certain trim levels.

Technology

One final aspect that we must highlight are the differences between the in-cabin innovations that bring your drives to life. For the utmost convenience, the Nissan Altima offers an available 12.3-inch display7 that lets you access a wealth of technologies. This choice will lend more surface area than what the Subaru Legacy can grant, as shown with its optional 11.6-inch touchscreen. Do you need to power up your device? If so, we highly recommend you choose the Altima, since it is the only model of these two that comes available with a wireless charger8! Lastly, to get your interior warmed up or cooled down before entering, make use of the Altima's standard Remote Engine Start System9. Once again, the Legacy fails to provide across the board by only offering a similar feature on limited editions. 

After learning about the 2023 Nissan Altima vs 2023 Subaru Legacy in Chicago, IL, we at Western Avenue Nissan hope you'll come to our location to check out this car!

Jermaine was amazing. A great salesman who checked every option to find what was right for us (price included lol). There is a stereotype of a shady cars salesman, trying to do anything for that commission; and he is as far from that as you can possibly get. Along with their finance department’s assistance finding a way to get the best possible price, all together it was the best experience we ever could’ve asked for.

Reggie was awesome!

First, I had contact with Nicole, who was informative & understanding. When I got into the dealership, I worked with Mr. Courtney, who was friendly and informative. Despite my tricky financial situation, we were able to work out a deal for financing that was within my budget. I ended up with a car 10 years newer than I was originally looking at!

I typed a review but forgot to press send cause they called me to sign the paperwork. I was here last Friday, first time buyer, first car. It was a day that changed my life. Hector was the one who mainly helped me and he hooked me up. He took his time, he was very easy to talk to and relate to, let me test drive what I wanted and he let me drive out there with a better deal than I went in for. Hector’s the real MVP.

Most definitely will comeback!

Jermaine was an amazing sells man!! He listened to what my daughter was looking for, how much she wanted to put down and how much she wants as a car payment. Let just say he exceeded our expectation with the mileage of the car and the monthly payment . Most definitely will comeback to get a new car.

Well, at first I saw another car online that I thought was reasonable and I didn’t know if I could afford it or not and it turned out to be not what I expected so I met a nice young man and Daniel. He was very nice and he assured me that he could help me find a better car than what I was looking at. He was the first one that took the step out to reach out to me. The other people in the building act like that I didn’t exist, but Daniel Took his chance and show me some cars, and I even got the opportunity to trade in mine and it was a good experience it was better than I expected and now I have a beautiful new car and I feel more safer than I did before I came there. I just wanna tell Daniel thank you so much for taking the opportunity and your time to make me feel comfortable about getting a car I really need one really bad and now I will feel safe getting to working back because of you , thank you so much for the good customer service and believing me and you gave me the confidence to get myself better Car thank you and I will assure you that I will take care of the car like I supposed to who knows I may come back and get a more expensive one but right now this one fits my budget and I’m happy for what I got. Thank you so much.
