Interior

The interiors are very well designed, featuring a minimalistic, sporty, and luxurious feel. Key interior features include:

• Crisp center console with a 7-inch touch infotainment screen supporting Android Auto & Apple Car Play
• Dual zone climate controls
• Carbon fiber accents along the door panels
• Wooden accents along the dashboard

The seats are ultra-comfortable, which is crucial for mid-size sedans since they are often driven daily and over long distances. The brilliant seats in the Altima won’t hurt your back or cause leg cramps, making it ideal for long drives or heavy traffic.

The Altima is equipped with an amazing Bose sound system featuring nine speakers, making every drive feel like a little party, especially if you enjoy karaoke while driving. Additionally, the Altima boasts numerous safety features, thanks to Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which includes:

• Intelligent emergency braking
• Lane keeping assist
• Blind spot monitoring
• Adaptive cruise control
• Forward collision warning

Drive

The Nissan Altima is designed for comfort and safety, making it an excellent daily driver with a focus on fuel efficiency. This is supported by the all-new 2.5L 4-Cylinder DIG engine (Direct Injection Gasoline) paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

The engine produces 188HP and 244 Nm of torque, which may not be significant for speed enthusiasts. However, the Altima's primary selling point is its fuel efficiency rather than speed. The 6th generation Altima features an improved chassis, steering, and suspension, all contributing to better performance, control, and handling.
