Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
A new era of mid-size performance will soon begin - with Nissan unveiling its 2019 Altima. Boasting a robust viable-compression engine (the world’s first), this sedan will dominate the Bellevue highways with ease. Prepare for the ultimate commute experience.


According to Wards Auto, the 2019 Altima was designed to impress. Beneath its hood growls a 2.0L four-cylinder engine - which shares the same turbocharged design as the INFINITI QX50. This potent option yields 248 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque, utilizing a premium multi-link connecting rod system to maximize every combustion. Piston stroke ratios smoothly rev from 88.9-mm to 90.1-mm, with a reduction gear creating a seamless ignition sequence; while the 8:1 compression rate promises exceptional power (it features a 1,190 CC to 1,1997 CC displacement that allows the car to stabilize the performance-band with each acceleration).

With the introduction of the variable-compression engine Nissan brings dynamic responses to Bellevue. As Wards Auto explains, this powerpoint heightens torque generation by 22 lb.-ft; and it allows the Altima to achieve a 0 to 60 run of less than seven seconds (shaving off more than 1.8 seconds of total time from the 2018 version). The new mid-size king has arrived!
