The rule is simple - if itâ€™s not broke, donâ€™t fix it. Critics and drivers seek always to preserve their beloved engines, reveling in every familiar rumble and transmission shift. Change, they feel, is dangerous. It puts each rev at risk, potentially stripping away torque and lessening horsepower. When perfection has been achieved cease all production strategies.

Nissan - respectfully - disagrees.

According to STL Today, the 2019 Altima will soon arrive in Washingtonâ€¦ and itâ€™s bringing a new engine with it. Nissan has fitted this sedan with a 2.5L inline-four. This powerpoint combines natural aspiration (which yields steady performance, sparing drivers the frustration of turbo-lag) with a lightweight aluminum design (the casing is now more efficient, demanding less fuel to reach the redline). Approximately 80% of the entire block has been revised; and this has ensured premium capability, with this sedan generating 188 HP and 180 lb.-ft of torque.

Still wary of change? Nissan reminds drivers that the 2019 Altimaâ€™s predecessor offered only 179 HP and 177 lb.-ft of torque. Even the redline has been improved, extending to 4000 RPM with every shift of the X-Tronic automatic transmission. This mid-size model (which now boasts monotube rear shocks to deliver balanced handling on each terrain) is ready to fly.
