Nissan Altima Generations
The Nissan Altima is powered by either a 175-hp 2.5-liter V6 or a 270-hp 3.5-liter V6 and the transmission choices include a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT). The trims on the Altima include: the 2.5 Base (on the sedan only), the 2.5 S, and the 3.5 SR. Safety features include: four-wheel disc brakes, anti-lock brakes, six airbags, active front head restraints, vehicle stability and traction control, front seat-belt pre-tensioners and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). For a sportier appearance the coupe's roofline is 2.6 inches lower than the sedan's and flows back into a long and nicely sculpted tail section that narrows between wide shoulders above prominent wheel arches. The suspension is tuned to provide the driver with a more nimble feel and heightened responsiveness.
Major changes included: The fourth generation Altima is available in sedan and coupe form. It comes with a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder in base form with an optional engine upgrade to a 3.5 liter V6. High-end standard features include 8 speaker sound system, Nissan Direct Ignition System, Iridium-tipped spark plugs, Dual exhaust with chrome-tipped finishers, UV-reducing solar glass, and Intelligent Key with push-button ignition. | |
Major changes included: The latest Altima is significantly larger than its predecessor, has an all-new four-wheel independent suspension, powerful new engines, lots of standard equipment and a dramatic new design. An automatic transmission is standard on the 2.5 SL and new luxury feature option packages debut in 2003. For 2005, the interior was upgraded; also, the 3.5 SL and high-performance SE-R models were added. |  |
Major changes included: The Altima was roomier and better equipped, although arguably less stylish, after the '98 redesign. The GLE and SE (now SE-L) trims were both upgraded in 1999, the suspension is revised in 2000, and the loaded GXE Limited Edition debuts in '01. |  |
Major changes included: The Altima sedan debuted in '93 as a bigger replacement for the Stanza, available in base XE, mid GLX and deluxe SE and GLE trims. A sunroof became standard on the SE (available on the GLE) in 1994. Minor revisions mark '95 and '96. |  |
