On the heels of the 2019 Nissan Altima’s redesign, we just received word that the sedan has been named one of Automobile Magazine's 2019 All-Stars at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Each year, the publication chooses the best new cars on the road; however, they don’t base their results on a complicated points system or evaluate vehicles within segment silos. Rather, winners are selected for their style, class, importance and desirability – simply, the crème-de-la-crème rise to the top and we are thrilled that the Altima is one of them.
Completely re-engineered from the ground up, the 2019 Altima now wears a sleeker appearance and offers drivers a choice of outstanding powertrain options, including the addition of Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive. Automobile Magazine evaluated the sporty SR trim with a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine and hailed the sedan for its composed handling, strong performance and attractive design. The editors were also taken by the Altima’s multi-faceted capabilities, which include the ability to produce the torque rating of a larger engine, but with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder. In their review, Automobile Magazine was impressed with the Altima’s confidence-inspiring suspension characteristics as well, which they describe as being above that of class rivals.
