Nissan Vmotion 2.0 concept<\/a>, which debuted at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Like the show car, the production Altima attracts immediate attention with its athletic stance and proportions \u2013 lower, wider and more dynamic than previous generations, thanks in part to new platform packaging and the use of two new low-profile engine designs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Compared with the previous generation, the new Altima is 1.1 inches lower in height, 1.0 inches longer in length and 0.9 inches wider \u2013 while also featuring a smaller front overhang thanks a 1.9-inch longer wheelbase and the rear wheels being pushed farther to the corners. The result is a dramatically sleeker yet more sophisticated look. The coefficient of drag is just 0.26. Larger, available 19-inch wheels and tires really help elevate the vehicle\u2019s appearance, giving it a more linear, tailored feel that\u2019s emphasized by the sharp horizontal lines, and signature Nissan design cues such as the V-motion grille and streamlined boomerang lights.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Available exterior elements include the expressive V-motion grille with dark chrome finish, LED projector headlights with signature Daytime Running Lights, LED fog lights, floating roof with slim pillars and single panel moonroof. A range of available exterior colours \u2013including a deep-tinted Scarlet Ember red that changes hue with the light, and a new vibrant Sunset Drift orange with unique reflective pigment \u2013 help bring out the exterior\u2019s sculptural details and highlights.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Premium Interior<\/strong><\/p>\nInside, the 2019 Altima interior offers a near-luxury feel in both design and materials \u2013 marked by the lightweight, layered and more horizontal \u201cgliding wing\u201d instrument panel. A range of premium interior colours and trim accents are available depending on grade level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The uplifting interior design also offers a high level of comfort and convenience amenities and connectivity features are offered \u2013 including standard 7.0-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display, enhanced NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seat design with dual-density foam and added bolstering for improved holding and support, available perforated leather-appointed seat inserts, available remote engine start with Intelligent Climate Control and new available 8-way driver\u2019s seat with memory.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2019 Altima also comes equipped with Apple CarPlay\u2122 and Android Auto\u2122, with 8-inch multi-touch colour display, Bluetooth\u00ae Hands-free Phone System and Streaming audio via Bluetooth\u00ae.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new Altima\u2019s selection of audio and infotainment choices include a Bose\u00ae Premium Audio system with nine speakers, including a new digital amplifier with eight channels of custom equalization.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enhanced dynamic performance and chassis control<\/strong><\/p>\nAlong with the all-weather traction offered by the new all-wheel drive system, all 2019 Altimas benefit from a range of enhanced suspension, steering and chassis control systems. Key suspension changes include the first Altima application of monotube rear shocks, added suspension reinforcements to improve vehicle response without impacting harshness, and suspension geometry adjustments to improve steering feedback. The goal in the chassis development is to provide a more comfortable, controlled and confident driving experience \u2013 not just for the higher grades but for every 2019 Altima.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The steering system has been upgraded to a new dual-pinion electric power steering design (DP-EPS), which enhances steering feel performance and reduces steering system noise. Steering effort is reduced at low speeds for ease of driving, and effort is increased at higher speeds for improved feedback and control.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 2019 Altima includes a new, advanced Integrated Dynamics Module (IDM). It includes three unique systems \u2013 Intelligent Ride Control, Intelligent Trace Control and Vehicle Dynamics Control \u2013 similar to those found on the flagship Nissan Maxima sedan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Three wheel and tire size combinations are available \u2013 16-inch, 17-inch and, for the first time, 19-inch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
New standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine<\/strong><\/p>\nReflecting the Altima\u2019s importance to the Nissan brand, the company is also making its biggest investment ever in a new model powertrain development \u2013 introducing for the first time two completely new engines for one model change.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standard on all grade levels is the new 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine, which is rated at 188 horsepower (versus the previous 2.5-liter\u2019s 179 hp) and 180 lb-ft of torque (versus the previous 177 lb-ft) and features 80% new or redesigned parts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More than just the gains in horsepower and torque, the new engine offers improvements in noise, vibration and harshness, along with enhanced fuel economy and cleaner emissions. It also has a lower profile through adoption of a \u201creverse\u201d cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold and low engine mounting into the new platform\u2019s engine bay for quieter operation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Key changes to the engine\u2019s design include a thermal-insulated resin intake port, Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG\u2122) system, variable tumble control valve, mirror bore cylinder coating, variable displacement oil pump, intake e-VTC and cooled external EGR.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nissan\u2019s development of the new 2.5-liter engine started with reviewing the basic specifications on an individual basis, such as the combustion chamber design. The result is an enhanced combination of high output and low fuel consumption versus the previous engine \u2013 with the bonus of improved NVH and front-end styling flexibility.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
World\u2019s first production Variable Compression Turbo engine (available from Summer 2019)<\/strong><\/p>\nReplacing the previous-generation Altima\u2019s 3.5-liter V6 engine is the world\u2019s first production-ready variable compression turbo inline 4-cylinder \u2013 which generates the performance of some V6 gasoline engines but with 4-cylinder level fuel economy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Designated as the VC-Turbo, the new technology continuously transforms the engine characteristics, providing both dynamic and efficient performance. The VC-Turbo recently launched as a world\u2019s first technology in the all-new INFINITI QX50 crossover.\u00a0 With the VC-Turbo, the driver balances the engine character through acceleration pedal operation alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The VC-Turbo has been in development for 20 years. It seamlessly changes its compression ratio between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency) \u2013 with an advanced multi-link system continuously raising or lowering the pistons\u2019 reach to transform the compression ratio. A high compression ratio gives greater efficiency, but in certain applications poses the risk of premature combustion (knocking). A low compression ratio allows for greater power and torque and avoids knocking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The multi-link components are manufactured in high-carbon steel alloy. Compared with the previous 3.5-liter V6 engine, the 2.0-liter VC-Turbo requires less space in the engine bay. The engine delivers 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque (premium fuel).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The VC-Turbo engine utilizes both multi-point injection and direct injection to balance efficiency and power in all conditions. The Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG\u2122) system improves combustion efficiency and performance and enables the engine to avoid knocking at higher compression ratios, while the multi-point injection mixes fuel and air earlier, enabling complete combustion in the chamber for greater efficiency at low engine loads. The engine also contributes to lower NVH and improved emissions (versus the previous 3.5-liter V6). The VC-Turbo engine is assembled in Japan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Altima comes equipped with the VC-Turbo (SV and SL grades) and include a meter in the standard 7.0-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display so the driver can see, as well as feel, the control state of this world-first technology while driving.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In terms of fuel economy4, the new 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine is projected to have a double-digit percentage increase in highway mpg for the front-wheel drive models.<\/p>\n
