For those of you who are less familiar with the automotive world than we are (which, we are a car dealership, we’re kind of obligated to be overly familiar) the 2018 New York Auto Show is this week and car manufacturers around the world are sharing their new vehicles, redesigns, and concepts by the dozens every day, or so it seems. Nissan is no different, and we’re very excited to share with you some of the news about the 2019 Altima, which is a fantastic redesign and evolution of the Altima we all know and love. Let’s take a look!
First of all, we’ll discuss changes under the hood. While your Altima might have a V6 under the hood, the 2019 Altima features a turbocharged inline-four that puts out a serious amount of power. Another first-time is the availability of all-wheel drive, which isn’t something Nissan has ever offered on the Altima or the Maxima. The suspension has also been redesigned and the power steering is more sensitive and adaptive than ever.
Inside, the color palette has been switched up and the styling is totally new. An airier cabin, thinner instrument panel, and lots of horizontal lines. In terms of tech, the 2019 Altima has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, and Siri Eyes Free and Google Assistant are both available as well. ProPilot Assist is part of the package, and Nissan’s amazing suite of safety features are all there to make sure you stay safe and sound behind the wheel.
This is not a sedan you’ve ever seen before - so keep your eyes peeled for more news coming out! We’ll let you know when the 2019 Nissan Altima is on our floor so you can stop in for a test drive and experience this vehicle for yourself.
