The Nissan ALTIMA, also known as the Nissan Teana North American version, is a family sedan produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan. Powertrain: The Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0T variable compression ratio turbocharged engine. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum output of 117kW, while the 2.0T variable compression ratio turbocharged engine produces a maximum output of 185kW, paired with a CVT transmission. Interior: It features a minimalist design with a two-tone interior color scheme (dark upper section and light lower section). The 8-inch floating central touchscreen integrates Nissan's Intelligent Connectivity system, offering both touch and voice interaction. It supports features like real-time navigation, online entertainment, and online payments. Upgrades include an 8-inch multimedia system and vehicle connectivity. The seats utilize three-layer cushioning materials with newly upgraded 3D side bolster support, along with added stain-resistant coating and diamond-quilted stitching craftsmanship.
Recently, I was chatting with friends about cars, and someone asked what brand Altima is. I had to explain that it’s not a standalone brand but a midsize sedan model under Nissan. The first time I drove an Altima was ten years ago, and I found it particularly suitable for families or commuters—spacious with enough room for three people in the back seat without feeling cramped, and a trunk that can fit large suitcases. In terms of performance, most versions come with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, delivering a smooth and fuel-efficient ride, with city fuel consumption around 8L/100km, slightly lower than its rival, the Camry. Since its debut in 1992, the Altima has remained popular, especially in the North American market, thanks to its simple yet practical design and rigorous safety testing. If you're considering a used one, its resale value is stable, and maintenance is straightforward with plenty of Nissan service centers and affordable, reliable parts. Overall, it’s a dependable representative of Japanese cars.
