Searching for a mid-size upgrade? Nissan will soon unveil its 2019 Altima - promising two powerful engine options for the Seattle market. No longer will commutes be burdened by weak speeds and low torque. Instead this sedan will deliver class-leading performance, injecting highway-thrills into every day.
According to Top Speed, the 2019 Altima will offer two new engines - a 2.5L inline-four and a 3.5L V6. Each will provide segment-shattering power, with Nissan enhancing every rev:
2.5L Inline-Four
Estimated Performance Ratios: 200 HP and 198 lb.-ft of torque.
3.5L V6
Estimated Performance Ratios: 290 HP and 275 lb.-ft of torque.
Nissan seeks to enhance the mid-size market, fusing its Altima with a suite of engine upgrades. Both will boast a revised XTronic automatic transmission (which will promote smooth shifting, transitioning between gears without the friction of a clutch) and a FWD (which will ensure a lighter curb mass and lessen column strain). Direct-injection technology is also anticipated to maximize fuel distribution and allow for steadier torque.
No official specs have yet been confirmed for the 2019 Altima - but, should these rumors prove true, the platform will yield impressive capability in Seattle.
