If your summer plans call for a new-to-you sedan boasting exceptional fuel economy specs, consider test driving a preowned 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR. This sporty four-door car offers seating for five and delivers efficient performance from its well-respected powerplant and automatic transmission. It’s a must-have for road-tripping families in Seattle!
Â
Under the hood, the Altima is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which generates a nice 179 horses and 177 lb-ft of torque. It comes mated to a continuously variable transmission, which climbs its gears with precision, as well as a front-wheel drivetrain. Combined, this helps the Altima achieve 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg highway. But, don’t worry – these fuel savings don’t come at the cost of performance. The 2017 Nissan Altima is still very fast off the line, reaching 60 mph in only 8.1 seconds.
Â
And when it comes to standard features, the SR trim doesn’t disappoint either. Its athletic appearance is bolstered by 18-inch alloy wheels on the exterior, as well as daytime running lights, foglights, and a rear spoiler. As you take to the streets of Seattle, you’ll love the feel of the sport-tuned suspension and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The driver’s seat is also power-adjustable for your comfort, while your passengers will appreciate the six-speaker sound system with a 5-inch display, USB port, and NissanConnect smartphone app integration.
