Front and rear axle loads
At 61/39, the 3,435 lbs puts about 2,095 lbs on the front axle and 1,340 lbs on the rear — 755 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.
Against the rest of the midsize cars class
Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Altima is 14 of 44 in Midsize Cars, 408 lbs below the 3,843 lbs median and lighter than 30 of its peers.
How the figure moved since 2015
The lightest 2015 record is 3,122 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,435 lbs — 313 lbs heavier (10.0%).
At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,435 lbs against 3,360 lbs in 2015, a 75 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
What is not in the record
EPA files 2 separate 2026 entries for the model, spanning 28–30 mpg combined, covering 2 engine and drive combinations (2.5L 4-cyl AWD; 2.5L 4-cyl FWD) plus their transmission choices, while NHTSA weighs the body once. Engine and gearbox choice is therefore not reflected in the figure above.
