Here's an important fact for you today, Tacoma and Kirkland residents! Nissanâ€™s Altima has been sold more than 5.6 million times in its 25-year history. The start of the machineâ€™s sixth generationâ€”the 2019 Altimaâ€”is set to kick things into yet another gear.

The 2019 Altima is the first in the long line of sedans to offer Nissanâ€™s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. This isnâ€™t your fatherâ€™s AWD; instead, itâ€™s constantly adapting to road conditions. It senses throttle position, vehicle speed, and wheel spin, all in real time, and then will divert up to 50% of available power as necessary in order to maximize performance. In less-than-optimal conditions (poor weather on harsh roads, for instance), traction and control are thereby enhanced.

Note that if youâ€™re traveling under optimal conditions, the 2019 Altimaâ€™s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive will send all power to the rear wheels in order to increase responsiveness and overall performance. Thus, no matter what the situation, youâ€™ll be ready to meet it head-on.

Fun Fact for Kirkland: A Brief History of the Altima

Itâ€™s quite likely that youâ€™re fond of the Nissan Altima and may even have one in your garage. But how much do you know about this venerable model?

Well, as it turns out, the Altima wasnâ€™t even originally the â€œAltima,â€ if that makes sense. The name was first used as an identifier for the top trim of the Nissan Leopard line in Japan beginning in 1986. Later, it was applied to the Laurel mid-size vehicle sold in the Caribbean and Central America prior to 1992. It wasnâ€™t until the Japanese Stanza car (a Nissan Bluebird clone) was replaced by the US-built Altima in 1992 for the 1993 model year that we finally saw the Altima as we know it today. It was initially built in Smyrna, Tennessee until June 2004, when manufacturing continued in Canton, Mississippi.

The ascent of the Altima has been swift. The third-generation model was named the North American Car of the Year in 2002, selling a then record-breaking number of 200,000 units that same year. Now, technologies in the 2019 Altima include zero-gravity seats, five-inch infotainment screens, Bluetooth connectivity, and more.
