Who said that family sedans had to be boring? With its attractive styling, fun handling, and ample horsepower, Nissan’s Altima is anything but. Better yet, the mid-sized car’s roomy passenger cabin is both well-built and well-equipped. Here’s your quick guide to the 2022 Nissan Altima!
Power and Performance
The Altima’s standard powertrain features a 188-horsepower 2.5L inline-4 engine that generates 180 lb-ft of torque. Even more grunt is available from the SR VC-Turbo model’s 2.0L turbo engine, which increases those numbers to 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque with 93-octane fuel. The sedan also boasts impressive fuel efficiency—an EPA-rated 39 MPG highway for naturally aspirated front-wheel drive models.
Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission smoothly delivers power to the drive wheels, which results in effortless acceleration. Steering feels incredibly precise and standard brake assist helps the Altima quickly come to a stop. For some extra fun, the SR VC-Turbo enhances the already nimble chassis with sport-tuned suspension and a manual shift mode with paddle shifters.
All-New Midnight Edition Trim
One of the most exciting updates to the Altima lineup is the addition of the unique Midnight Edition. Meant for buyers who prefer a blacked-out look, the Midnight Edition sports a black V-Motion front grille, black rear spoiler, and LED fog lights. It also features exclusive badging and custom 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels in a black-painted machine finish.
Interior and Amenities
The Altima’s interior offers plenty of practicality and an ultra-modern design. Fine touches like the matte chrome accenting and available wood trim add another level of sophistication and all of the controls are easily accessible from the driver’s seat. Passengers will be able to stretch out with up to 100.6 cubic feet of space and there are up to 15.4 cubic feet available for cargo within the trunk. 60/40-split rear seating helps accommodate longer items.
The air always feels fresh inside the car thanks to standard air filtration while the available dual-zone climate control and heated front seats will keep you cozy regardless of the weather outside. If you’re sharing your Altima with another driver, the available Memory System can store two profiles for the exterior mirror and driver’s seat positioning, so there’s no hassle when switching seats.
Infotainment System
Most Altima models are equipped with the 8-inch NissanConnect infotainment system with multi-touch control. This system comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth hands-free technology. Standard voice recognition and Siri Eyes Free make it even easier to access the features of NissanConnect without taking away your focus from driving. SL and Platinum models provide booming sound with the 9-speaker Bose audio system.
The available navigation system gives turn-by-turn directions that are viewable on the car’s Advanced Drive-Assist Display. It also offers door-to-door navigation when paired with your smartphone.
Handsomely designed and surprisingly agile, the Altima will keep you entertained as you navigate the streets. Contact Cronic Nissan today and schedule your test drive!
