It’s a plague of potholes - with the pavement proving rough, the corners leaning unsteadily. You shake down this stretch of suburbia, regretting every decision that led you to this moment; and your car gives an unholy lurch in response.

Kirkland Nissan sympathizes with your plight - and we also seek to offer a solution. Prepare for the arrival of the 2019 Altima!



As AutoNews explains, the 2019 Altima embraces refinement. For its sixth generation this model has been given a revised suspension - with all longitudinal stiffness reduced by 15% and lateral rolls decreased by 10%. The entire system has been tightened, emphasizing faster responses and smoother outputs; and the result is a seamless highway experience, with all body movement dampened to minimize the effect of vibrations, shaking, and more.

Bolstering the front of the Altima is an independent strut-front suspension, which intuitively adapts to changing pavement grades; while a multi-link design at the rear promotes balanced handling. Twin-tube shock absorbers anchor the chassis, dispersing the force of every pothole; and dual stabilizer bars improve vehicle control, helping to re-align trajectory and reduce pitch rates. When these elements combine, they ensure deft miles in Sumner.
