The 2016 Nissan Altima is focused on improving its performance and fuel efficiency, making it a leader in its class. It does pack a punch under the hood and the SR actually feels quite nimble and sporty.

Performance specs

It comes in two engine options: the 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, DOHC and the 3.5 liter, V6 DOHC. A Hybrid variant is no longer available. The 2.5 liter produces 180 bhp power and 180 ft-lb torque at high rpm ranges. Redline rpm is at 6800 rpm. If you rev up the SR too close to the redline, the car software automatically downshifts significantly. But the engine feels nice throughout the range. The V6 produces 270 bhp power and 258 ft-lb torque. The CVT manual transmission feels nice and smooth. The gears are simulated in the SR and SL to copy the gear ratios of automatics. The others come with manuals.

Safety

This 191.4 inch (109.3 inch wheelbase) long sedan is packed with safety features. ABS, traction and stability controls as well as rearview parking cameras are standard on all models. Some of the top get blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with front collision warning with emergency auto braking (only SL). Nissan also provides emergency assistance and lost car location assistance. It has a tire pressure monitor and is easy to fill, which means a warning system sounds buzzing when the tires have been inflated adequately. No separate monitors are required. The 2015 Nissan Altima, similar to this one, had got the highest possible ratings on crash safety tests from IIHS and NHTSA.

Nissan is giving you a “substantial” car for a reasonable bargain. It starts from the $23,000 level and goes up to just below $35,000 level, for the fully fitted top trim SL. So, it can cater to a wide section of the market. To know more, contact us at Coast Nissan.

Nissan has its own safety philosophy: Nissan Safety Shield. It describes an exhaustive approach in all safety related matters. It is implemented in the engineering and development of all vehicles the company manufactures. It is the company’s way of looking out for its customers.

One example of the Nissan Safety Shield is Nissan Advanced Air Bag System. It features a total of six standard air bags. These are the dual stage supplemental air bags in the front complete with seat belt and including occupant classification sensors. Then there are side impact air bags mounted on the front seat and supplemental too. The last supplemental air bags are mounted on the roof and engineered for side impact. A rollover sensor takes care in case of a mishap.

The Nissan Safety Shield Technology provides you a bouquet of advanced systems. These start from Blind Spot Warning to the Predictive Forward Collision Warning. There is also the Forward Emergency Braking to help, protect, monitor and respond. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert assumes prime importance when you back out of any parking space. This feature detects and then warns about vehicles that is hard to spot behind the driver. The Blind Spot Warning System comes to action when a vehicle is detected in blind spot area. An indicator blinks on the driver’s and the front seat passenger’s door. A light also blinks on Advanced Drive Assist Display. A warning chime ensures that you remain alert while opening the door.
