The Nissan Altima was introduced in the USA
in 1992 as the 1993 Altima. The Altima's predecessor was the sporty
Nissan Stanza. Altima cars are built in Smyrna, Tennessee and
Canton, Mississippi. The first generation Altima was originally based on
the Nissan Bluebird, but its design and styling has always been done in
California studios. From the beginning, the Altima, like other Nissans, was a small, sporty
car. The 1993 Altima had a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder
engine, and raced from 0 to 60 in just 10.4 seconds. The
Altima had a 4-speed manual
transmission, and a firm suspension using struts and stabilizer
bars. Though classified as a compact car, the
smooth-handling early Altima Sedan seated four adults comfortably. The
'93 Altima trim levels included the XE, the GXE, the SE, and the
GLE.
The Altima underwent generational changes in 1998, 2002, and 2007, with a major facelift in 2010. In 2002, fifty automotive journalists at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, coined the Nissan Altima as the "North American Car of the Year." Although Nissan never made an Altima convertible, the 2008 Altima Coupe debuted in 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show - the first-ever Altima Coupe. Always economical, the Altima Hybrid was introduced at Cerritos Nisan in 2007. Originally based on Toyota's hybrid technology, Nissan's hybrid cars now benefit from the cutting-edge work of Nissan's powertrain engineers, generally regarded as the greatest car engineers in the world.
Today,
Cerritos Nissan in California offers the Nissan Altima in three basic
trim levels - the Altima 2.5, the Altima 2.5 S and the Altima 3.5
SR. The Altima 2.5 is the most affordable
of the three with a price starting at just $19,999. The Altima 2.5 S adds excellent features
including the Nissan Intelligent Key, an advanced audio system with
auxiliary input and many interior convenience features. The
Altima 3.5 SR adds the VQ35DE - a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve
V6 with 270 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque at
4,400 rpm, making the Nissan Altima a truly magnificent
vehicle.
When shoppers compare the Nissan Altima to other vehicles such as the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or Chevy Malibu, the 2011 Nissan Altima stands out as the most fun-to-drive. Beginning with the 2009 Nissan Altima, owners found this affordable mid-size car's quick handling and lively acceleration to be reason enough to choose Altima. The 2010 Nissan Altima also included standard electronic stability control, moving the Altima to the top of the safety ratings.
When seeking a safe, economical, sporty, and stylish mid-size family sedan, Los Angeles shoppers should head over to Cerritos Nissan at 18707 Studebaker Rd, Cerritos, CA 90703 .
