If you are in the market for an inexpensive vehicle that gets great gas mileage, consider the 2015 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. Ranked in the top ten Affordable Midsize Cars by U.S. News & World Report, this five-seater is ideal for small families.
Under the hood rests a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 182 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive, it gets an impressive 26 mpg combined (22 city/32 highway). According to Edmunds, it scored an exceptional 5-star rating for overall protection in government-conducted crash tests.
The S trim level includes 16-inch steel wheels and automatic headlights. Keyless ignition and entry make it easy to get in and go. The driver’s seat is adjustable to suit your height, and you can listen to your personalized playlists through the six-speaker sound system. Tune into satellite radio or hook up your smartphone via the auxiliary jack for a premium audio experience. The rearview camera and infotainment interface are both displayed on the 5-in touchscreen, which operates with Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling.
