In the auto industry, family-friendly sedans are evolving every year. Features that were once optional now come standard, such as cruise control and other high-tech electronics. The 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SRÂ has exceeded expectations in its class by adding in functions to make your daily drive much easier.
Powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, it generates 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is quite good at 30 mpg combined (26 city/37 highway). According to experts at Edmunds, the Altima scored a solid five-out-of-five star rating in government crash tests.
The sporty SR trim level adds 18-inch alloy wheels and paddle shifters mounted onto the steering wheel. A rear spoiler completes the athletic look and finely-tuned suspension makes this vehicle responsive with smooth handling. NissanConnect smartphone app integration operates with a 5-in display monitor and has Bluetooth connectivity. You can receive calls hands-free and listen to your favorite playlist. A rearview camera assists with parallel parking and backing out of the garage without bumping into anything.
