2016 Nissan Altima S

About 2016 Nissan Altima The Altima transformation for 2016 includes a new look for the exterior, a refined personal space interior, enhanced connectivity, more available safety and security features and an expanded model lineup. The new Altima's front and rear sections feature totally new designs and sheet metal. In front, that means adding a new lowered muscular front fascia with distinctive "V-motion" grille and new bumper. Also new are the Altima hood and fenders, with new tailored character lines. The headlights are also redesigned -- with available signature LED boomerang headlights, fog lights and Daytime Running Lights creating a more contemporary "face." Efforts were also made to isolate noise created by hard acceleration, utilizing additional insulation and sound barriers, especially in the firewall area. In addition, new engine mounts have been adopted and the center muffler has been increased in size to further reduce sound transmission into the Altima interior. Inside the new 2016 Altima's refined, personal space interior, the most noticeable change is in the center of the vehicle, where a new C-stack and center console offer easier use. Altima 2.5 S, 2.5 SR, 2.5 SV, 2.5 SL and 3.5 SR grades feature a standard 5.0-inch color audio display, which is used for a number of tasks including viewing images from the RearView Monitor and accessing the NissanConnect with Mobile Apps system. The 2016 Altima is offered with a choice of two refined powerplants -- a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V6. The Xtronic transmission adds third-generation D-step Shift logic, creating a more responsive acceleration feel both from a standing start and during reacceleration in situations such as passing slower vehicles. Altima 3.5 SR and 3.5 SL models are powered by an advanced, award-winning VQ35DE 3.5-liter V6 rated at 270 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque.
