In June 1992, the first Nissan Altima rolled off the production lines at their automakerâ€™s Smyrna, Tennessee Assembly Plant. Since then, that number has ballooned to 4.6 million midsize sedans.Â

And, now with the release of the all-new 2019 Altima, that figure is about to sky-rocket again, as Nissan recently announced that they invested $170 million dollars for new upgrades for the Smyrna Plant. According to their press release, some funds were also allocated to its vehicle assembly facility in Canton, Mississippi, which will assist with the manufacturing of the Altima as well.

With the funding, a state-of-the-art laser brazing system was added to the body shop that gives the flexibility to weld the Altimaâ€™s sleek trunk lid. The paint shop was also updated with a new polyurethane stone guard coat paint system, which provides a more durable, best-in-class exterior appearance. Since the 2019 Altima will feature standard ProPilot Assist, Nissan added calibration equipment to the plant to ensure the reliability and functionality of the semi-autonomous technology.

The all-new Altima isnâ€™t due to hit our dealershipâ€™s inventory until this fall, but it is exciting to hear how much innovative engineering is being put into the sedan.
