The 1995 Altima may be distinguished from earlier models by its new grille and slightly different taillight treatment. Its oval shape and smooth rounded lines are unchanged as are its side rub strips, bright side window trim and Goodyear Eagle GA touring tires. If comfort can be equated with luxury, they may be on to something. A well-designed interior using quality materials, good control placement and adequate passenger roominess makes the inside of the Altima a pleasant place to spend the day. Interior material is largely nylon velour and naugahyde, with a tasteful use of walnut veneer for a touch of luxury.
All important gauges are right in front of the driver and easy to read.
Climate and radio controls are easy to reach and use, and both work well to maintain a comfortable cabin environment. Standard and value option equipment on the GXE includes power windows, door locks and side mirrors, tilt steering, dual cupholders, and remote trunk and fuel door releases. The back seat has a central pass-through for long items like skis, or 2 x 4's, while the spacious trunk has a low liftover height for easy access. Besides having good brakes, handling, and engine response for active safety, the Altima has both driver and passenger-side air bags. Three point seat belts are on all outboard seats, and the front shoulder belt anchors are adjustable for height.
