On Nissan vehicles, the letters “SV” denote a specific trim level. This trim typically represents a step up from the base model, offering enhanced features and equipment. For instance, a Nissan Altima SV will have features beyond those found in the base Altima S model. Examples include upgraded infotainment systems, advanced safety technologies, and more aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior details.
The implementation of this trim level allows consumers to access a more comfortable and technology-rich driving experience without necessarily opting for the top-of-the-line, and often more expensive, models. It strikes a balance between affordability and added value. Historically, automakers have used trim levels to cater to a diverse range of customer preferences and budgets, and this designation continues that practice by offering a compelling package of sought-after features.
