If you can’t stomach the idea of another spring spent trudging along in your well-used (but not loved) minivan, consider making the switch to a 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL. While smaller than your current people hauler, this sedan is ideal for families since it boasts a comfortable interior, which is complemented with a host of high-tech features. What’s more, the Altima promises to deliver the performance you crave. It’s time for a change, wouldn’t you say?
Â
Â
The 2016 Altima 2.5 SL is anchored by a 2.5-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder engine, which offers best-in-class highway fuel economy. It fetches 27 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway, which is heads and tails above your gas-guzzling minivan, not to mention other sedans in this segment. But this efficiency doesn’t come at the compromise of power. Rather, the Altima delivers 182 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, which is matched with a four-wheel independent suspension, grippy handling, swift braking and responsive steering. Your morning commute to the office is sure to be far more exciting.
Â
The standard features on the SL trim promise more excitement too. That tape deck from your van is replaced with a nine-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, offering superb sound throughout the cabin. NissanConnect with Navigation and Mobile Apps will also add to your convenience, while leather-appointed seating and heated front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors will enhance your comfort. There’s also Forward Collision Warning, Forward Emergency Braking, Predictive Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Cruise Control for your peace of mind and safety.
