Nissan was positively inspired when they designed the 2018 Altima 2.5 S. “ArtofSpeedd†below talks up the car, noting that it’s stuffed to the gills with security features and spirited performance. This elevates it above the rest of the pack.
Standard cruise control is great but when it’s adaptive it becomes not only a convenience but also a safety measure. This feature in the 2018 Altima 2.5 S automatically senses any cars traveling ahead and slows you down to compensate for their speed changes. Beyond this, the sedan also offers forward collision alerts that give an audible beep whenever you draw too close to another automobile, as well as a rearview camera. This latter item gives a live video look on your center display that shows everything to the back of your ride as you go in reverse.
And hey, what about the motor? Well, “ArtofSpeedd†only has good things to say. The 2.5L four-cylinder engine supplies 179 horses and 177-lb.-ft. of torque. And with the Xtronic two-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), you won’t be dealing with an uncomfortable drive—everything is remarkably smooth and pleasant.
