A stale sensibility defines the sedan market - with every platform delivering meek handling and mild responses, unable to go beyond the flat suburban pavement. These cars prove dull, and they force Seattle drivers to endure the slowest of commutes.

Nissan believes itâ€™s time for a change - which is why itâ€™s fusing the 2019 Altima with all-wheel performance.

According to the NY Daily News, the 2019 Altima will redefine the mid-size market - bringing optional Intelligent AWD to Seattle. This system will ensure ferocious handling on the highway and the backroads alike. Advanced sensors will anchor the axles, monitoring torque pressure with every rev. When high speeds are detected, these features will automatically transfer power to the rear wheels (creating a 50:50 performance split that will enhance traction and reduce the chance of under-steerage). Monotube shock absorbers will frame the suspension, creating a more flexible ride; while a dual-pinion electric unit will bolster steering. Sport-tuning now runs throughout the chassis and delivers smooth responses.

To further improve the Altimaâ€™s capabilities, Nissan is pairing the AWD with an XTronic Continuously Variable Transmission. This monitors RPM levels, adjusting gear ratios to accommodate speed demands. This will allow the platform to deliver 180 HP with ease.

Accept no compromises, Seattle!
