PERFORMANCE

A primary aspect of any vehicle is its ability to travel swiftly and capably from Point A to Point B—but the Nissan Altima is not just any vehicle. With its robust engine, you’ll experience precise steering, prompt braking, and a thrilling drive every time you get behind the wheel.

Potent Power?

The Altima delivers plenty of power right out of the gate. It comes equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. That power will be managed by an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that offers strong acceleration, seamless shifting, and increased fuel efficiency.

With standard front-wheel drive (FWD), you’ll enjoy reliable traction for better handling and control on every drive. Meanwhile, the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system can tackle nearly any type of road or weather condition you encounter.

Effortless Efficiency

Many contemporary automobiles rely on hybrid technology to significantly improve fuel economy. Even without a hybrid configuration, the Nissan Altima delivers and makes efficient use of every drop of fuel.

Plus, with its 16.19-gallon tank, you can travel over 630 miles before having to make a pit stop to refuel.

DESIGN

The aerodynamic design of the Altima’s four trims combines the best of both worlds: an athletic exterior with flowing, angled contours and a spacious and comfy interior. As such, everyone on board will enjoy an extremely pleasant on-road experience, while other drivers and passersby will take a second—or even a third—look.

Distinctive Exterior

Sporty is a word that immediately comes to mind when viewing the Nissan Altima. Its steel wheels with wheel covers, black outside mirrors, LED projector headlights, and aggressive grille help ensure that the first impression is lasting. Beyond these standard offerings are a plethora of exterior options to customize your ride, including 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels in bronze !

A palette of eight exterior paints allows you to further express yourself and make your Nissan Altima truly yours You can choose a classic hue or go big and bold with one of these stunning shades:

Scarlet Ember

Brilliant Silver

Bluestone Pearl

Gun Metallic

Tactical Green

Well-Furnished Interior

The Altima’s driver-centric cockpit and cabin accommodate everyone on board, so every seat is prime real estate. The Zero Gravity Front Seats help eliminate fatigue and soothe sore muscles after a long day. The available 8-way power driver’s seat, heated leather seats, and power moonroof add to its appeal.

Beyond its vast array of amenities, the Nissan Altima provides a great deal of room for everyone— and everything they bring along for the ride. Even rear-row riders will be able to stretch out and get comfortable.

Headroom (Front/Rear)	Legroom (Front/Rear)	Cargo Room (Behind Rear/Front Row)

Nissan Altima vs. The Competition

At a Glance: Nissan Altima vs. Toyota Camry

Sometimes bigger is better, especially when it comes to having more legroom to get comfortable, and having more power to your drive is always a plus. Add to that seats that fully ensure your comfort as the driver regardless of how long you’re on the road? It doesn’t get better than that.
