Alabama Awaits the Arrival of the All-New Nissan Altima

Birmingham Alabama Nissan dealers are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the all-new 2013 Altima.  The Altima sedan is the focus model of Nissan’s lineup.  The Altima is the single largest demonstration of the Nissan brand attributes –trust, quality design, innovation and driving experience.  The Nissan Altima delivers unrivaled innovation and excitement.  It offers contemporary technology that sets a chic new direction for the midsize sedan segment.

Nissan has high hopes for the new 2013 Altima.  With added technology, improved fuel efficiency and a long list of standard features, Nissan has big plans to make the new 2013 Altima number one in its segment.  Look out Camry!  The Nissan Altima has been a major contender in the mid-size market for decades.  This is the year they plan to wow the competition and consumers alike.

The new 2013 Altima will still be available with either a 2.5 4-cylinder engine or a 3.5 V6. The difference in the 2013 engines lies in the 2.5 engine.  The overall mass of the 2.5 4-cylinder engine has been reduced by adding an aluminum exhaust manifold and by using a smaller starter motor and hollow cast centers on the camshafts.  These changes enhance fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance power output.

Changes to the suspension and steering help improve dynamic performance and provide more comfort.  Premium name-brand shock absorbers help reduce road related noise, vibration and harshness.  The new hydraulic power steering system enhances fuel efficiency because it doesn’t depend on engine power.

Birmingham Nissan dealers are probably most excited about the new exterior and interior design and also the trim levels available on the new Altima. The all-new 2013 Altima sedan trim levels and packages have been revised and are as follows:

4-cylinder trim levels:

2.5

2.5 S

2.5 SV (available with Convenience and Navigation Packages)

2.5 SL (available with Technology Package)

V6 trim levels:

3.5 S

3.5 SV (available with Navigation Package)

3.5 SL (available with Technology Package)

The all-new exterior styling includes a wider, more aggressive stance, a longer sloping roof line and attractive chrome door handles and window trim.  The aerodynamic design reduces wind noise and enhances fuel efficiency. The new Altima also comes with a Smart Automatic headlights system which is much more intuitive.

On the inside of the new Altima, consumers will find all-new styling which includes soft-touch armrests and chrome, wood-tome or metallic-textured trim.  The NASA-inspired zero-gravity front seats reduce fatigue when driving long distances.

The new 2013 Nissan Altima has an array of standard and optional features that were previously unavailable.  These include Remote Engine Start, NissanConnect, Navigation System, Advanced Drive-Assist Display, enhanced Tire Pressure Monitoring system, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Moving Object Detection and Pandora connectivity. 

As you can see the new 2013 Nissan Altima is going to be a breath of fresh air.  With advanced technology, enhanced performance and a history of being a reliable brand, the new 2013 Nissan Altima is sure to give Toyota a run for its money.
