The seats feel comfortable making the Altima an ultimate choice for your road trips. The total amount of head-, shoulder- and legroom that is available on the Altima for the front and rear passengers is 40/56.4/45 and 37.1/56.4/36.1 inches respectively. The total cargo capacity available is 15.4 cubic feet. The trunk is easily accessible and is big enough to carry your luggage over the weekend trip.
