The Nissan Altima was introduced in the USA
in 1992 as the 1993 Altima. The Altima's predecessor had been the
eye-catching Nissan Stanza. Altima cars are built in Smyrna,
Tennessee and Canton, Mississippi. The first generation Altima was
originally based on the Nissan Bluebird, but its design and styling has
always been done in California studios. From the beginning, the Altima,
like other Nissan cars, was quick and sporty. The 1993 Altima had a
fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine, and raced from 0 to 60 in
just 10.4 seconds. The Altima had a 4-speed manual transmission, and a
firm suspension using struts and stabilizer bars. Though classified as a
compact car, the superb-handling early Altima sedan seated four adults
comfortably. The '93 Altima trim levels included the XE, the GXE, the
SE, and the GLE.
The Altima underwent generational changes in 1998, 2002, and 2007, along with a major facelift in 2010. In 2002, fifty automotive journalists at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, named the Nissan Altima as the "North American Car of the Year." Although Nissan never made an Altima Convertible, the 2008 Altima Coupe debuted in 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show - the first-ever two-door Altima. Always economical, the Altima Hybrid was introduced right here at Gwinnett Place Nisan in 2007. Originally based on Toyota's hybrid technology, Nissan's hybrid cars now benefit from the brilliant work of Nissan's power train engineers, generally regarded as the best in the world.
Today, Gwinnett Place Nissan in GA offers
the Nissan Altima in three basic trim levels - the Altima 2.5, the
Altima 2.5 S, and the Altima 3.5 SR. The Altima 2.5 is the
most affordable of the three with a price starting at just
$19,999. The Altima 2.5 S adds excellent features including
the Nissan Intelligent Key, an advanced audio system with auxiliary
input and numerous interior convenience features. The Altima 3.5 SR adds
the VQ35DE - a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 with 270
horsepower at 6,000 rpm, and 258 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.
The Nissan Altima is truly a performance car!
When Atlanta area shoppers compare the Nissan Altima to other makes like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or the Chevy Malibu, the 2011 Nissan Altima shines as the most fun-to-drive. Owners of the 2009 Nissan Altima found this affordable mid-size car's crisp handling and lively acceleration to be reason enough to choose Altima. The 2010 Nissan Altima includes standard electronic stability control, moving the Altima to the very top of the safety ratings.
