The 2019 Nissan Altima

Lithe, suave, and tech-savvy, the 2019 Nissan Altima covers all the essential bases. From family transport vehicle to daily commuter cruiser, the Nissan Altima is a versatile sedan that's touts to seven trim options, two engine options, and a long list of tech and comfort features.

Power & Performance

If the base 2.5-liter inline-4 engine doesn't meet drivers' needs, there's an available 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine. The base 2.5-liter inline-4 engine manages 188 horsepower and 180 foot-pounds of torque. The more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine boasts 248 horsepower and 280 foot-pounds of torque. Regardless of the engine chosen, drivers can look forward to a continuously variable transmission. Beyond this, the Nissan Altima features standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive.

Tech & Comfort

Starting in the tech realm, the Nissan Altima features an eight-inch touch screen infotainment display (standard with all trims), Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto connectivity, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, an advanced drive-assist display, and a six-speaker audio system. Upper trims come with a host of available features that include a Bose nine-speaker audio system, an HD Radio, Nissan voice recognition, SiriusXM radio (trial), and Nissan door to door navigation with premium traffic functionality.

Base trim comfort features include seating for up to five passengers, a remote engine start system, an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, cloth-clad seats, and an in-cabin microfilter. Skipping over the base trim and moving to higher trims allows drivers to enjoy increased comfort options, including dual-zone climate control, remote engine start with intelligent climate control, interior accent lighting, driver's seat power lumbar support, leather-clad seats, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wood-tone trim.
