The wind proves strong on the highway - incessantly battering your car, slipping into the engine and radiator cracks. It’s cold; it’s brutal; and it undermines performance, causing internal temperatures to wobble and speeds to slow.

Nissan believes it’s time for a change - which is why it’s transformed the 2018 Altima SV into a drag-reducing option for Seattle drivers.



According to Nissan, the new SV is primed for every gust. Active grille shutters now frame the front, employing automated technologies that allow them to open and close as needed (these greatly reduce the amount of air that enters the powertrain, with their advanced sensors detecting when pressure levels are beginning to build). The V-Motion grille decreases resistance, utilizing a sweeping shape to deflect wind pockets; while an optional spoiler diffuses friction at the rear. Underfloor aero-covers shield the suspension, and both the fenders and windows boast aerodynamic trims that sluice away unwelcome environmental factors.

When these elements combine, they enable the 2018 Altima SV to achieve a drag-coefficient of 0.26. This, as NASA explains, promises low friction and fewer temperature changes. Steady performance is achieved.
