Too often do high speeds prove overwhelming - forcing drivers to wrestle with steering wheels, undermining every coil spring. Vehicles are engineered for exhilarating straightaways… and this comes with a cost of terrifying corners.
Nissan seeks to change this. With the release of its 2019 Altima the brand wishes to deliver the perfect balance of speed and handling - allowing drivers to (finally) feel confident with every turn.
According to a recent press release, the 2019 Altima yields more than power. Its 3.5L V6 (which ensures a 0 to 60 run of less than seven seconds) has been anchored with a series of stability functions, delivering a refined ride with every mile. Monotube rear shocks absorb friction, while geometry adjustments allow the suspension to adapt its stiffness rates as need. A dual-pinion design defines the steering column to ensure more fluid responses; while an electronic traction system assesses torque ratios, intuitively increasing output to maintain seamless tire grippage. Intelligent Ride Control senses sudden fore-aft pitch discrepancies, smoothly engaging the brakes to correct trajectory; and lane-monitoring software detects vehicle misalignments, studying the distance between the wheels and markers. Alerts are given and speed is (gently) slowed to afford drivers enough time to counter the issue.
Through these technologies the 2019 Altima promises dynamic handling - even when generating an 8:1 compression ratio. To learn more about Nissan’s commitment to performance contact us today!
