2019 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV 4dr Sedan, Black, Mileage: 13,878

The Altima is a mid-size four-door sedan. The car is distinguished by smooth body features and a rather massive hood. Along the whole body passes an embossed line at the level of door handles. Headlights are narrow and slanted. The grille occupies the central part of the hood and bumper and is framed by a wide chrome strip. The perimeter of the Nissan Altima has slightly protruding sills and lower parts of the bumpers, adding even more dynamics to the sedan's sporty exterior. But despite the active exterior, the car is generally a family car.

The Nissan Altima boasts the world's first turbocharged engine with variable compression. On the Altima SR, a set of paddle shifters allow drivers to select some pre-programmed gear ratios that mimic the gears, but this is where the sport sedan feel wanes. The 2.0-liter turbo-4 makes 248 hp, and it's now available only in the Altima SR. The Nissan has a comfortable ride that prevents any jarring on hilly roads. Its steering system works exactly to family sedan standards. The Altima's brake pedal has linear feedback and responds instantly.

Other features include sporty front seats with red or silver perforated leather inserts, steering wheel trim in the same leather, and pedal trim in aluminum. The front seats are heated, as well as side mirrors. There will also be electric windows and door locks, and the windows can be opened with a button on the key fob, even when you're outside the car. In the basic configuration, SE-R will get an audio system Bose with 8 speakers and a CD changer for 6 disks, the volume control, which is self-adjusting depending on the speed, and duplicating buttons on the steering wheel.

Passenger safety is taken care of: seat belts with pre-tensioning, airbags with two stages of deployment, which take into account factors such as the use of the seat belt and the severity of the accident; optional side airbags for front and rear passengers. Wide disc brakes will provide braking on all wheels, stable movement is guaranteed by ABS and EBD systems - electronic distribution of brake forces.

The Altima SE-R's sportiness will be emphasized by stiffer springs, transverse stability bars in front and rear, and improved suspension with the use of aluminum parts to reduce weight. There's little choice of options: a 5-speed automatic transmission, side airbags, Traction Control, and a cell phone charging jack in the center console.

Japanese-made cars are in demand among the younger generation and those buyers who are looking for comfortable crossovers or roomy SUVs. That's not why Nissan Altimas are cheap, however, but because they are used as fleet vehicles, which means they are made in larger quantities, which lowers the cost of materials.
