Safety

While Both the Camry and the Altima boast multiple airbags, the Camry offers driver and passenger knee airbags, mounted low on the dashboard, which enhance the level of safety and also help prevent serious injury during a crash. Altima doesn't offer knee airbags. Toyota Camry also has daytime running lights, a feature that some studies have shown to be as much as 11% more effective in preventing accidents by making your vehicle more conspicuous. The Nissan Altima does not offer daytime running lights. Camry also offers an optional feature on the XLE trim called "Safety Connect," which uses GPS and cellular data to help track your vehicle if it's stolen or if airbags deploy. The Altima offers navigation, but no live-response system. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the Camry as a "top pick" for 2012 crash tests, a designation not awarded to the Altima. In addition, the Toyota Camry comes with complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years or 25,000 miles. If you run out of gas, need a jump start, lock your keys in the car or any other scenario where you require assistance, Toyota has you covered. Nissan does not offer complimentary roadside assistance with the Altima.

Reliability

Before we can begin talking about reliability, we need to talk about scheduled maintenance. The best way to make sure that your new vehicle maintains its dependability is to keep up on regular maintenance. While Nissan offers no complimentary maintenance plan standard, Toyota will pay for your scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles including oil changes, tire rotation, lubrication and any other recommended scheduled maintenance that your new Camry requires. In addition, J.D. power and associates also ranks the Camry significantly higher than the Altima in initial quality and long-term dependability surveys.
