Description
.Nissan has broomed the V-6 engine as the step-up powertrain offering, replacing it with a turbocharged inline-four. The turbo four is the company’s variable-compression 2.0-liter, just introduced in the Infiniti QX50. (Read how the technology works here.) In the Altima, it makes 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, versus 270 ponies and 251 lb-ft for today’s 3.5-liter V-6. It’s optional on the sporty-themed SR model and on the range-topping Platinum.

ost Altimas, however, will be powered by a heavily revised, naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four. Its displacement is unchanged, but output increases from 179 to 188 horsepower (at 6000 rpm). Peak torque is 180 lb-ft arriving at 3600 rpm, an increase of 3 lb-ft. As with the turbo four, Nissan claims that this engine offers reduced noise, vibration, and harshness compared with its predecessor, along with more compact packaging. Once again, the Altima comes exclusively with Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which is equipped with paddle shifters on the SR model.

The more significant powertrain news is the availability of all-wheel drive for the first time, a feature not found even on the more expensive Maxima. Among direct competitors, only the Subaru Legacy and the Ford Fusion offer all-wheel drive. In the Altima, it will be available on any model but can be paired only with the 2.5-liter engine.

onger, Lower, Wider
The new Altima is longer, lower, and wider than before; its wheelbase has been stretched and the front overhang trimmed slightly. The styling trades the car’s previous flowing shapes for a more linear design. Nissan’s V-shaped grille is taller and broader, but the brand’s boomerang-shaped taillights are more subdued; the Altima also adopts a floating-roof design as seen on the Maxima and other Nissans. The color palette has been amped up, with Scarlet Ember and Sunset Drift (orange) metallic shades joining the usual variations of white, silver, gray, and black.

The interior also features new colors, and a lower cowl makes for an airier cabin, as does the thinner instrument panel. As on the exterior, horizontal lines dominate. All models have a 7.0-inch screen nestled in the instrument cluster while an 8.0-inch touchscreen stands proud of the dashboard. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard, along with SiriusXM satellite radio, Siri Eyes Free and Google Assistant voice recognition, and keyless ignition. The SR, SL, and Platinum get leather, while the S and SV have a cloth interior.

Assisted Living
The Altima will be available with Nissan’s much touted ProPilot Assist. Already offered on the Leaf and the Rogue, this enhanced adaptive cruise control adds a degree of steering assist but not hands-free capability. In the Altima, it will be standard on SV, SL, and Platinum trims. The Altima also gains rear automated emergency braking, which can apply the brakes if it senses a collision when the car is backing up. It, too, is standard on SV, SL, and Platinum models, as are lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and traffic-sign recognition. Forward-collision warning, front automated emergency braking, and a driver-alertness monitor are standard on all models, while blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on all but the base S.
