A new breed of mid-size beast is coming to Seattle - with Nissan soon to reveal its 2019 Altima. This sedan will prove unstoppable on both the freeway and the charts, delivering class-leading performance with every rev.
The pony-cars and crossover behemoths are already trembling!
According to CNET, the 2019 Altima will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show (March 30th through April 8th). While Nissan has failed to provide a comprehensive list of specs before this event, rumors have already left critics tantalized - promising exceptional sedan power. Among the expected features are:
Engines
The 2019 Altima is rumored to boast both a 1.6L four-cylinder and a 3.5L V6. No performance ratios have been released, but early estimates gauge the HP to hover at a maximum of 270.
Technology
Nissan should fuse this sedan with its ProPilot suite - providing Seattle drivers with automated assistance and advanced support. This safety feature (which utilizes radar sensors to assess the road, instantly identifying obstacles and engaging either the steering or brakes to maintain proper lane alignment) will greatly reduce the risk of forward collisions. It will blend Pedestrian Detection technology with 360-degree camera monitoring.
Transmission
A seven-speed Xtronic transmission is anticipated for the new Altima, with its continuously variable design eliminating the frustrations experienced with a manual clutch (the gear ratio is gone and shifting is instead seamless).
Should these features prove true, they’ll propel the 2019 Altima past the competition - and bring drivers the performance they crave.
