Both are equipped with advanced technology, comfortable interiors, and efficient performance. Today, your Nissan dealership will provide a detailed comparison to help you determine which SUV aligns best with your family’s needs.

Dependable Performance

The 2025 Rogue is powered by a 1.5L VC-Turbo engine that delivers 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an Xtronic CVT featuring Manual Mode that gives you greater control when desired. The Rogue achieves an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with a Drive Mode dial enhances traction and control during inclement weather or in rough terrain.

The 2025 Murano features a new 2.0L VC-Turbo engine that produces 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering improved efficiency. Although the Murano is larger, it offers excellent fuel economy of up to 27 mpg on the highway. Like the Rogue, it’s available with FWD or AWD.

Comfort-Enhancing Interior 

Inside the Rogue, drivers are treated to Zero Gravity front seats that are designed to reduce fatigue during long drives. There is no shortage of choice when it comes to interior appointments: cloth, faux-leather, or the real deal are your upholstery options, while climate control can be single, dual-zone, or even tri-zone in some trims. An available Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof invites natural light into the already spacious cabin.

The Murano also features standard Zero Gravity front seats for enhanced comfort. A refined interior atmosphere comes courtesy of the open-pore wood accents and quilted, perforated seats. A panoramic touchscreen display consisting of dual 12.3-inch HD screens covers infotainment and instrumentation, with built-in Google providing seamless access to Google Maps, Assistant, and much more.

Style-Driven Exterior

The Rogue features a characteristic V-Motion grille and multi-level LED headlights that provide a distinctive look. The motion-activated liftgate allows hands-free access to the 31.6 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear, making loading and unloading much easier.

The Murano features an all-new exterior design with an aggressive front grille and aerodynamic rear spoiler. The slim LED headlights and wrap-around taillights contribute to the SUV’s contemporary look. Like the Rogue, it comes with a motion-activated liftgate to enhance convenience.

If you’re looking for a city-friendly ride, Nissan’s 2025 lineup has exciting sedan options for everyone. Whether you’re a commuter, new driver, or need a family transporter, here are a few models to test-drive at our Nissan dealership.

2025 Nissan Versa

The 2025 Versa is a subcompact sedan perfect for commuters and new drivers. It is incredibly easy to handle across bustling city streets and provides plenty of power for all your driving needs. Under its hood, a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine produces 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission distributes power to the front-wheel drive system while putting you in full shifting control for enhanced performance.

Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission is available on the base model and standard on the upper trims, so you can still enjoy this ride even if you’re not fond of stick shifting. This small city car also boasts outstanding fuel economy ratings, with EPA estimates of up to 35 MPG combined, based on the preferred transmission.

2025 Nissan Sentra

The 2025 Sentra is a compact sedan perfect for commuters and small families. It offers more interior space than the Versa, while its compact size makes it equally easy to handle across busy streets. This model is also more spirited. It comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that generates 149 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission is standard across the lineup and provides EPA estimates of 34 MPG combined.

Inside, cloth seating surfaces enhance the model’s sporty spirit. Position-adjustable front seats and 43.8 inches of front legroom can keep you comfortable no matter how short or long your journeys are. This model also boasts 14.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity and 60/40 split-folding rear seats that allow you to fold one or both sides of the backrest to accommodate long or bulkier cargo.

2025 Nissan Altima

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine provides 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, while the Xtronic continuously variable transmission is standard for smooth shifting performance and excellent fuel economy ratings.

Like the Versa and the Sentra, the 2025 Altima comes in standard front-wheel drive.

The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has been fully redesigned inside and out for a bolder first impression and more modern aesthetic, but it still retains its fun-loving demeanor and affordable price tag. If you’re looking for a well-rounded list of standard equipment and an efficient powertrain in your next compact SUV, read on to learn about some of the features that set this crossover apart.

1. Upgraded Engine

The 2025 Kicks now features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission sends the power to the front wheels, but for the first time ever, all-wheel drive is available. You can switch between Normal, Eco, and Sport drive modes depending on your preference, and you’ll get an additional Snow mode when you upgrade to all-wheel drive.

2. Excellent Fuel Economy

The friendly starting price of the Kicks is complemented by a great fuel economy rating that will help you save money at the pump. When equipped with front-wheel drive, it boasts a highway rating of 35 mpg, which only decreases slightly to 34 mpg with all-wheel drive. Even if your commutes take you through city streets, you’ll still enjoy estimated ratings of 31 or 30 mpg, respectively.

3. Zero Gravity Seats

Prepare to get comfy: the new Kicks now features Nissan’s plush Zero Gravity seats in both the front and back, creating a luxurious ride for all five seat positions. Heated front seats are available with an optional package for the SV and SR trims, and every model includes a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat.

4. Flexible Cargo Space

With 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of the base Kicks S model, you’ll have plenty of room for school and work bags, grocery hauls, and outdoor recreation gear. Fold down both sides of the 60/40-split rear seatback to create 59 cubes of space when you need to haul something extra, or just fold one side to accommodate rear passengers and larger cargo at the same time.

5. Driver-Centered Infotainment

The standard 7.0-inch infotainment display is positioned at a slight angle toward the driver for optimal visibility. If a larger screen is more appealing, the range-topping SR trim comes with a 12.3-inch version. Both options offer Siri Eyes Free voice recognition and wireless Bluetooth for smartphone connectivity and audio streaming, while upgrading to one of the higher trims unlocks wireless smartphone integration and custom mobile apps.

Are you ready to step inside the 2025 Kicks and get a closer look at all its impressive features? Give us a call or stop by Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA to set up your test drive and take the next step toward owning this ideal SUV!

Despite the best care and attention, vehicle components will wear out due to age. If worn components aren’t replaced, they can make driving dangerous and cause other components to fail. As your Nissan dealership, we want to tell you a few signs you need to visit us for Nissan maintenance.

Bumpy Ride

Your Nissan has very efficient shocks connected to each wheel. The shocks absorb the impact of driving over rough surfaces, dissipating the energy and providing a smooth driving experience. They also help to protect suspension components from excessive wear and tear and keep your tires in contact with the surface to provide better handling and control.

Your shocks could be damaged if you feel excessive bumping or bouncing, even when driving on a street or highway. Other signs of worn shocks include oil leaking near the wheels, a longer stopping distance when you hit the brakes, and the front or rear of your Nissan sinking toward the ground when you park. We’ll examine your shocks and replace any damaged ones to fix this problem.

Coolant Leak

Coolant is a 50:50 mixture of water and antifreeze, and it’s used to control the engine temperature. Combustion and the constant movement of countless engine components generate intense heat, which must be removed to prevent engine damage. Coolant is pumped through the engine, absorbing heat as it moves until it reaches the radiator. Inside the radiator, the heat is removed from the coolant by heat exchange through the radiator grille.

Worn seals or damage to cooling system components can cause a leak. As coolant is lost, pressure in the system drops, and the remaining coolant slows down. Low coolant levels cause the engine temperature to increase. A coolant leak is easy to see, as it’s available in bright colors like pink, orange, green, or blue. Our technicians will repair the leak and refill the coolant.

Excessive Tire Wear

Tires suffer friction damage when you drive, and minute rubber pieces flake off. Eventually, the tread will wear down, and the tire will need replacement. While this type of wear and tear isn’t preventable, other types of tire damage can be stopped. Alignment problems, tire balance issues, and incorrect inflation will cause additional damage.

Excessive damage to the tread center or tread edges means your tires are over- or underinflated, respectively. Cupping, which looks like regularly spaced scooped-out areas along the tread edges, suggests a tire alignment issue or worn shocks. We’ll identify the specific cause of the damage and fix it to protect your tires and increase their usable life.

Book your maintenance today by contacting us at Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA.

The 2025 Nissan Altima showcases its quality craftsmanship from the very first glance. With the Nissan Intelligent Key cabin-entry system, newly updated NissanConnect infotainment software, and a full list of driver-assist and collision-prevention programs offered across all models, the newest Altima provides a high-quality driving experience focused on convenience and peace of mind.

The Lineup’s Capabilities

Every new Altima in the 2025 lineup gets its impressive power from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine. Front-wheel-drive models produce 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, while all-wheel-drive trims deliver 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. The Altima’s independent front and rear suspensions feature coil-over-shock builds and stabilizer bars, and an Xtronic continuously variable transmission comes standard across the lineup.

Models such as the SV Special Edition and top-trim SL come equipped with a brake-actuated Intelligent Trace Control limited-slip differential, significantly enhancing handling and cornering precision while minimizing wheelslip.

Cabin Layout and Design

This year’s Nissan Altima can seat up to five passengers and features a six-way adjustable cloth driver’s seat along with a cozy 60/40-split rear bench. The SR trim upgrades to sport cloth upholstery, while the SL trim opts for leather. Top trims include a heated steering wheel and heated front seats.

The base model’s sound system comes with six speakers connected to the onboard AM/FM stereo and auxiliary input. Both Google Assistant and Siri Eyes Free voice-recognition programs are included in each Altima, and speed-sensitive volume compensation turns the music down as you slow your Nissan to a stop. 

For Your Peace of Mind

Collision Prevention

Every new Altima comes with Nissan’s renowned collision-prevention bundle, featuring a forward collision system with Automatic Emergency Braking and an Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, notifying drivers in time to stop and offering supplemental braking power. Nissan’s front pedestrian-detection system also employs Auto Emergency Braking and uses a front-mounted camera to detect smaller objects, warning the driver with enough time to react.

Nissan’s rear collision system features Rear Cross Traffic Alert in addition to Rear Automatic Braking, helping you detect and avoid vehicles crossing behind you as you reverse.

Class-Leading Driver Assistance

High Beam Assist automatically switches to low beams when other vehicles are detected, Blind Spot Warning helps ensure safe lane-changing maneuvers, and Lane Departure Warning alerts you when your Nissan’s tires drift over the lane lines. Intelligent Driver Alertness prevents fatigued or distracted driving, while rear parking sensors take the guesswork out of navigating tight parking spaces.


With a larger touchscreen interface, an ergonomic driver’s seat, and endless premium materials throughout, the latest Nissan Altima boasts long-lasting cabin comfort. Experience this comfort for yourself with a visit to us here at Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA, and explore your favorite Altima features with a test drive.

Your Nissan’s transmission helps deliver power from the engine to the wheels, enabling efficient fuel consumption and an enjoyable driving experience. Wear and tear in your transmission system, like any other mechanical system, may occur due to heat and prolonged use. If left unattended, it may strain other components or cause a complete vehicle breakdown, leaving you stranded on the road. Here are signs to visit your trusted Nissan dealership for expert transmission service.

1. Slipping Gears

Are your shifts not as smooth as they ought to be? Transmission slipping is like having hiccups each time you attempt to change speeds. You press the gas, but your vehicle becomes reluctant or jerks as it can’t decide which gear to be in. This can slow acceleration.

There are several reasons that could lead to gear slippage, including low transmission fluid, a failing clutch, or worn gears. A professional inspection will determine if a fluid change or more extensive repairs are needed.

2. Fluid Leaks

Notice a red or brown liquid puddle underneath your car or in your regular parking spot? You could be having a transmission fluid leak. The transmission fluid performs a variety of functions, including lubricating and cooling the transmission components and maintaining proper hydraulic pressure for the gears.

The fluid leaks could be caused by a loose bot or plugs or a faulty transmission pan gasket, destroyed by road debris. Our technicians will repair or replace the necessary components and refill the fluid.

3. Burning Smell

Fresh transmission fluid typically has a slightly sweet or tart odor. A burning smell coming from your transmission is a cause for concern. It may result from overheated transmission fluid, low fluid levels, or a clogged filter. Using the wrong type of transmission fluid could also be the culprit. Ignoring the smell can further damage the transmission, leading to more expensive repairs and replacements.

4. Strange Noises

Healthy transmissions don’t make sounds as they work away. Grinding, humming, clunking, and whining are among the most common sounds that indicate potential transmission issues. We have the right tools to diagnose and fix the problem.

5. Check Engine Light

A check engine light indicates a problem detected by your vehicle’s computer system. While it can signal various issues, it often lights up due to transmission-related problems, especially if accompanied by signs like delayed or rough shifting, unusual noises, or a burnt smell.

Worried about your Nissan’s transmission? Contact Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA, today to book an appointment with our skilled technicians. We will gladly fix whatever issues your vehicle has and ensure you’re back on the road as soon as possible.

If you don’t drive much and like changing cars often, leasing a new Nissan could be the right choice for you. Here are the main leasing benefits you can get at your Altoona Nissan dealership.

Affordable Driving Option

The main advantage of leasing vs. buying your new Nissan is affordability. Leasing typically comes with reduced down payments and lower monthly payments compared to a car loan. Special deals and incentives can help you save even more on select models, while a range of lease terms and mileage options allow you to customize the lease contract to suit your budget.

Flexible Lease Terms

Nissan offers two main lease types, both of which provide flexible options for different buyers. The SignatureLEASE offers terms between 18 and 60 months, which is much more flexible compared to other automotive brands that typically include terms between 24 and 48 months. Depending on how much you drive, your lease can include 5,000, 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles per year, with the lower end offering the most affordable solutions.

If you don’t know how much you drive or seek more flexibility, you can opt for the SignatureFLEX. This program allows you to opt for a lower mileage included in your lease contract and purchase additional miles as needed directly from your NMAC Finance Portal account. Purchasing miles through this program is a lot cheaper than paying for excess mileage, giving you peace of mind while enjoying a more affordable lease.

Special Offers

Leasing a Nissan comes with most of the advantages buyers get, including the possibility to benefit from special deals and incentives that can reduce the vehicle’s suggested retail price and your payments. Deals often include down payment reductions, the possibility to trade in a vehicle to cover the down payment, and manufacturer or dealership offers on select models.

At our dealership, college graduates and military personnel can also take advantage of exclusive deals, such as cashback on top of any existing offers. Military personnel offers can sometimes extend to family members as well.

End-of-Lease Options

The end of a lease contract also comes with more benefits than the end of a car loan. When the time is up, you can pay a buyout fee agreed upon at signing to purchase the vehicle, return the vehicle and end the lease contract, or extend the lease and drive home in a brand-new Nissan. You can also end the contract and open a new one if you want to change the terms.

To discover more and explore your options, contact us at Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA to schedule an appointment. We will be here to answer any questions you might have.
