Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
It’s a plague of potholes - with the pavement proving rough, the corners leaning unsteadily. You shake down this stretch of suburbia, regretting every decision that led you to this moment; and your car gives an unholy lurch in response.

Kirkland Nissan sympathizes with your plight - and we also seek to offer a solution. Prepare for the arrival of the 2019 Altima!



As AutoNews explains, the 2019 Altima embraces refinement. For its sixth generation this model has been given a revised suspension - with all longitudinal stiffness reduced by 15% and lateral rolls decreased by 10%. The entire system has been tightened, emphasizing faster responses and smoother outputs; and the result is a seamless highway experience, with all body movement dampened to minimize the effect of vibrations, shaking, and more.

Bolstering the front of the Altima is an independent strut-front suspension, which intuitively adapts to changing pavement grades; while a multi-link design at the rear promotes balanced handling. Twin-tube shock absorbers anchor the chassis, dispersing the force of every pothole; and dual stabilizer bars improve vehicle control, helping to re-align trajectory and reduce pitch rates. When these elements combine, they ensure deft miles in Sumner.

A new era of sedan power has begun - with Nissan unveiling its 2019 Altima. This four-door platform delivers the best in engine capabilities, boasting a revised block and enhanced performance ratios. No longer will drivers compromise the need for speed while commuting.


According to AutoNews, the 2019 Altima injects each mile with potent power. Its signature 2.5L engine has been thoroughly redesigned, with Nissan replacing 95% of the components. Though still a four-cylinder, this block now yields peerless capability: producing 188 HP and 180 lb.-ft of torque. This represents a 9% overall increase from the previous generation, and it also promises superior performance through direct-injection technology (which optimizes fuel intake) and accelerated compression ratios (which promote more effective metric-bands).

The new Altima is tailored to impress - with its revised engine earning a 6,000 RPM redline. Experience smooth accelerations with every press of the pedal, achieving a 0 to 60 blitz in approximately eight seconds! High-performance is now guaranteed on the Tacoma streets.
