2018 Altima Performance & Efficiency
The Nissan Altima comes on strong with its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, giving the vehicle the ability to generate 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes paired with the Xtronic® CVT, which actually helps with the Nissan Altima MPG, allowing the vehicle to get an EPA estimated 27/38 city/highway MPG.1 Drivers looking for more power can opt for the Nissan Altima 3.5 SL, which includes a 3.5L V6 engine capable of producing 270 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque.
Entertainment & Technology Features
The Altima is fitted with a 5-inch color monitor that gives access to features like the AM/FM radio and CD/MP3/WMA player. Upgrading to the other trim levels will deliver the 7-inch screen. The vehicle also includes the USB port and auxiliary input to allow you to connect portable media devices to the vehicle’s stereo system.
The 7-inch Nissan Advanced Drive-Assist® Display is featured on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. This system allows you to select a variety of menus through the steering wheel-mounted controls, including fuel economy mode, vehicle information, driving aids, tire pressure, and even the driver-assistance features.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Technology
This sedan was designed to protect, with its energy-absorbing steering column, its advanced airbag system, and its Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones and pipe-style hood buckling creases that can absorb the force of energy generated during a collision. Of course, the Nissan Altima is also fitted with some helpful features design to assist you with avoiding a collision.
The Altima includes the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, which uses front sensors to measure the rate of approach and proximity to the object in your path. Once it detects a possible collision, it will warn you so you can apply the brakes. If you don’t apply enough brake pressure, the Automatic Emergency Braking system will apply the right amount of pressure to prevent the collision, or reduce the possible damage during impact.
