Introducing the Bigger, Better 2019 Nissan Altima

White 2019 Nissan Altima

This year, Nissan is coming back strong with the new-and-improved sixth-generation Altima. A longtime staple in Nissan’s lineup, the new Altima has undergone significant improvements that make the model a worthy option for sedan fans or those thinking of jumping ship for a crossover.
Here are just a few of the new features you can expect.

Engine Reboot

Nissan has taken great care to redesign their engine for better fuel efficiency without compromising on power. All trims come standard with a reimagined 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that differs significantly from the engine in previous Altimas. The new engine produces 188 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque – both decent improvements from the last engine.
Auto enthusiasts also have a second engine to choose from in higher trim levels. Nissan is touting the 2.0-liter Variable Compression Turbo engine (VC-Turbo) as the first of its kind. This engine replaces the outgoing 3.5-liter four-cylinder V6 engine, but it offers some notable advantages, like better torque when using premium gas, smaller size and reduced emissions.

 All-Wheel Drive

Perhaps the most notable change from last year is that Nissan will now be offering an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive option on every Altima with a 2.5-liter engine, although front-wheel drive is still the default. Competitors Honda and Toyota don’t offer all-wheel drive in any of their sedans. This makes the 2019 Nissan Altima the perfect family car for those living in rainy or snowy regions of the U.S.
Drivers who choose all-wheel drive can adjust how engine power is divided between the front and back of the vehicle. Up to 50 percent of the torque can be used in the rear wheels.

Technology

The new Altima’s technological capabilities are on par with those of other sedans on the market. Entertainment enthusiasts will be happy to know that every trim has an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and Sirius XM radio.
Drivers can also give voice commands with Siri Eyes Free and Google Assistant and control their doors and engine with Apple Watch and Android Wear. Keyless entry and push-button start, which are practically mandatory in newer cars, are available in the base trim.

Safety Features

Much like other sedans in its class, the 2019 Altima has incorporated semiautonomous features to make driving safer. All trims come standard with Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking to help prevent avoidable accidents.
The upper trims also come with additional safety features, such as:



ProPILOT Assist

This Level 2 Driver Assistance technology keeps your car in the middle of the lane, maintains gaps between vehicles and helps you brake in stop-and-go traffic. The Altima will alert you if you’re drifting, about to collide or driving without hands on the steering wheel.

Safety Shield 360

Safety Shield 360 is an upgrade to Nissan’s previous Nissan Safety Shield suite. The Altima will offer Rear Automatic Braking for safer reversing as well as:
  •          Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  •         Lane Departure Warning
  •         Blind Spot Warning
  •          Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  •         High Beam Assist

Design

The 2019 Altima is surprisingly sleek for a sedan and offers customization options for everyone to personalize their ride.

Exterior

The appearance of the Altima has been tweaked, giving it a lower, more aerodynamic profile. The floating roof design and steep V-shaped grille with chrome accents also add a nice touch.
Drivers have a large palette of exterior colors to choose from as well. Options include:
  •         Scarlet Ember Tintcoat
  •         Sunset Drift Chromaflair®
  •         Deep Blue Pearl
  •         Storm Blue Chromaflair®
  •         Super Black
  •         Gun Metallic
  •         Brilliant Silver Metallic
  •      Pearl White Tricoat
  •      Glacier White

Interior

While the exterior is designed to make a great first impression, the interior is all about comfort and style. Sink into the ultra-padded Zero Gravity Seats for extra lumbar support on long commutes – they work great whether the seats are cloth or leather. For extra comfort, upgrade to a higher trim for heated seats and steering wheel.
Like the exterior, there are several interior color choices, including:
  •          Charcoal (with orange accents)
  •          Light Gray
  •          Sport

Do you know what kind of fuel to put into your car?

Confusion at the Pumps: How to Choose the Right Fuel  Have you ever pulled up to the gas station to put gas in your gar and wondered: what type of fuel should I put in my car? If you’re confused at the gas pump, you’re not alone. In the United States, there are primarily two types of common automotive fuel: diesel and gasoline. According to overall sales in 2014, gasoline is the most common fuel used. Gasoline powers more than 98% of all light duty vehicles in the States, with diesel following in a distant second at 1.5%*.   Light duty vehicles include all passenger cars, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. However, gasoline itself is typically available in three grades: standard, mid-grade and premium. But some gas stations even offer “E-15” and “E-85” grades, adding to the confusion at gas pumps.

How Subaru Driver Assist Technology Keeps You Safer

Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology: How Subarus Can Keep You Safer On The Road Subaru has long been a leader in car safety systems, particularly those that allow the driver and passengers to be safer in a collision. Today most car buyers take crumple zones, safety belts, airbags and anti-lock brakes for granted, but overall safety features of a car are still a priority for most people. However, the focus is now shifting from what happens during and after an accident to preventing accidents from happening in the first place. According to a Consumer Reports article, in a national survey of U.S. drivers that plan to buy a new or used vehicle in the next two years, 51% said it was very important for their next car to have a rearview camera or backup warning , and 45% said they wanted a blind-spot warning system .
