On sale since November 2015, this greatly revised Altima for 2016 contrasts with the uninspiring sedan that had been available for a few years. Major revisions have been made to this sedan which is now much more interesting. It looks like we’re finally seeing a return to driving pleasure in this midsize sedan. It was time to say because, for two generations, the Altima had lost the sporty side than it had in the early 2000s.

 In addition to the fact that the interior is much more attractive and that the styling is now linked to the new brand image, this sedan is economical at the pump (4-cylinder version) and offers a tasteful, comfortable and bulky environment, than the Altima has several positive points. The car offers a quiet ride and we note the quality enhancement of the interior finish. In terms of space, it is flawless. The rear seats can accommodate your older teenagers without any problem. The luggage compartment is also very generous. So, on this aspect, absolutely nothing to say.

 Inspire Dot

 While not as modern and sporty as other models, the 2015 Nissan Altima is still a strong contender in the mid-size sedan category. With four- and six-cylinder options and a CVT (continuously variable transmission), the Altima has a certain appeal to car enthusiasts that other sedans cannot compete with.

 Main characteristics

 With CVT, you can drive the Altima in “sport” mode to make it look like a manual transmission, or let the gearless transmission run on its own for a smoother ride, better fuel efficiency, and reduced fuel efficiency. shows, too.

 Other features include the 2.5 SL package, which allows you to add the luxury of leather upholstery, heated front seats, and other luxury details at very little additional cost.

 New and new features for the Altima in 2015 include hands-free Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, as well as automatic headlights and other comfort and safety features.

 What we like

 The 2015 Nissan Altima is the perfect blend of comfort and sportiness. With power and torque to spare, it has no trouble going out of its way, and at the same time, it has the luxury interior features you might expect from a much more tamer vehicle. The whole family can feel right at home in this car, and it’s fun to drive too.

 What concerns us

 The Altima has a lot of competition in the midsize sedan category, including the Toyota Camry, Volkswagen Passat, and Kia Optima. With so many other manufacturers vying to be the best in the class, it’s hard to tell some buyers whether the Altima is the right choice or not.

 Models available

 You can choose from many different packages from carleg.com depending on how many interior features you want to add. For your engine, you’ll have two basic choices: a 3.5-liter V6 and a 2.5-liter inline-four engine. The four-cylinder option gets better gas mileage (23/32 city/highway MPG versus 20/27), but the V6 has significantly more horsepower and torque (eg, 270 HP, 6000 RPM versus 175,175 HP). 

 Major reminders

 A few 2012 Nissan Altimas have been recalled due to potential issues with the torque specifications on their power steering rack bolts. Some have also been recalled because they may have the wrong mix of propellants in the passenger and driver-side curtain airbags.

 The most common issues in 2012 for the Altima were poor Bluetooth integration with owners’ phones and difficulty speeding up climbs. These can both be tested in any test drive you take while buying your next car. BXUZ has detailed information about it.

Conclusion:

 A 3.5-liter V6 version is still on the menu with this succulent engine that offers sustained acceleration. On the other hand, most versions come with the 2.5-liter 182 hp. And forget the manual versions, because the only transmission offered in the catalog is a CVT which is correct and which has also improved this year in terms of its behavior. Better-performing units can still be found elsewhere, but let’s say Nissan is catching up with the wave for 2016.
