A freshening for 2005 brought a small improvement in fuel economy, along with improved interior fit and finish. The cabin remained roomy and the seats supportive. The four-cylinder engine makes the Altima quick, but noisy under acceleration. Handling is sound, but not nimble and ride is somewhat stiff. It also has a wide turning circle. The Altima received a Poor rating in the IIHS side-crash test without side- or head-protection curtain airbags.
