The last time Nissan did a redesign for the Altima was three years ago. The business of car designing and manufacturing has significantly changed from that time, though, and so it shouldn’t come a surprise the company decided to do another one this year.
The 2016 Nissan Altima is a prime example of how car manufacturers can be full of nice surprises in their design calendar, as this design turned out to be almost a complete overhaul and incorporates some of the biggest changes yet in not only the Altima but in the entire fleet. In fact, Nissan itself has described it to be “one of the most extensive makeovers in Nissan history.”
Improved Looks and More
The first thing that will catch your attention is the V-shaped grille right in front, which takes on a boomerang shape--a design element that consistently appears from the headlights and throughout the body. The frame sits on a set of either 17 or 18-inch wheels, and has a deep Blue Pearl paint job.
Meanwhile, the interior had an upgrade in the center console, too, as well as the steering wheel and, of course, the seats. All these elements tie in well together to bring forth a ride as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Engine Sufficiency
Don’t be too quick to think that looks are all the company focused on in the redesign. The engine has also been given the attention it needs to deliver a superb driving experience. There are two engine choices, namely the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the 3.5-liter V-6 engine, both of which feature the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). At its most basic, the fuel economy rating stands at 27 mpg city and 39 highway, while the 3.5-liter rates 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.
