What's New for the 2018 Nissan Altima?

If you are thinking about buying a new Nissan Altima this year, you may be wondering what is new for this sedan in the 2018 model. Some car buyers are drawn to the Altima because of how stylish and sporty the exterior of the previous year's Altima looked. If this is the case for you, you may enjoy learning that the 2018 exterior body design remains unchanged. Furthermore, the 2018 model is available in six exceptional exterior colors. While the exterior of the 2018 Altima has not changed, the interior of the 2018 model does have a few updates. Each of the six trim levels available for the 2018 Altima now come equipped with adaptive cruise control. Another new feature is the autonomous braking function for the forward advanced notice collision warning system. Auto buyers who demand the best possible driving experience may prefer the 3.5 SL trim, which comes with a smartphone integration and pairing function.

Horsepower

Your buying decision may be driven largely by the style of the car, its price and its features, but power and performance also should be analyzed. The lower trims for the 2018 Altima are sold with a CVT engine that has four cylinders and 2.5 liters. This base model engine gives you up to 177 foot-pounds of torque, and its horsepower registers at 179. For sedan buyers who want the 3.5 SL model, a 3.5-liter engine that is even more powerful is a standard feature. In addition to the engine, the performance capabilities of the Altima are also enhanced by its exceptional turning circle, its continuously variable automatic transmission and excellent controls for stability and traction.

Safety

The standard safety features in the 2018 Altima may be factors that contribute significantly to these safety test results.
