Adventure waits - with the roads beyond Seattle promising horizons to discover and miles to conquer. With every day comes a new experience… and an equally new fear. You find yourself sitting in the garage, hesitant to turn an ignition key. These highways aren’t safe, you think. They’re populated with rogue drivers and uncertain weather patterns. It’s best to stay inside.
Nissan doesn't agree - which is why it fused its 2017 Altima with award-winning capabilities. This sedan will allow Seattle families to explore the city and beyond, offering them the safety they crave.
Recently the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (an independent organization that establishes benchmarks for collision prevention) pitted the Altima against its rigorous obstacle course - forcing it to endure brutal front, side, and rear crashes. It tested deceleration responses on slick tracks; it pushed avoidance technologies to the limit; and it demanded much from airbag and restraint systems. There was no mercy given to the platform… or the unfortunate test-dummies seated within.
Much to the delight of Seattle drivers, however, the 2017 Altima proved road-ready. The IIHS awarded this sedan its highest honor, naming it a Top Safety Pick.
We’re not surprised. Nissan has anchored the Altima with a suite of collision features. Electronic stability and traction control minimizes the risk of under-steerage, providing smoother decelerations and cornering. Rollover sensors automatically engage the comprehensive airbag suite (which includes seat-mounted, curtain, and side-impact inflatables) as needed; while daytime running lights enhance visibility. This all pairs with anti-lock disc brakes to ensure superior performance.
The 2017 Altima is a worthy option for every Seattle adventure. To learn more about this platform contact us today.
