2020 Nissan Altima Vs 2019 Nissan Altima

Serving Valdosta, GA

The 2019 model year marked the debut of the sixth-generational Altima, which became the first time that the midsize four-door sedan from Nissan offers an all-wheel-drive option. Also, the car’s chassis and steering were refined to improve steering. Its immediate successor, the 2020 model, is more of the same, albeit with a few more refinements. Either way, the 2019 and 2020 Altimas collectively represent a nameplate praised for its composed handling, comfortable seating accommodations and a robust collection of semi-automated driving features. There are five trims, which are S, SR, SV, SL, and Platinum.

Performance

The standard engine on the Nissan Altima is a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder (I4), which generates 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque with the standard front-wheel drivetrain and 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque with optional all-wheel drive. If you go with the SR or Platinum, you can swap the 2.5-liter with the VC-Turbo, which is a smaller, 2.0-liter turbo I4 that produces 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque when using 93-octane fuel or 238 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque when using 87-octane fuel. With the VC-Turbo and front-wheel drivetrain, the Altima will achieve its peak fuel economy of 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway.

Features

With cloth-trimmed seating for five, the Nissan Altima features Zero Gravity seats, which use NASA-derived technology to make them among the most comfortable bucket seats around. A smart key system with push-button engine ignition, remote engine start, an Advanced Driver-Assist Display to reduce driving distractions, Bluetooth connectivity, a six-speaker stereo system with AM/FM radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, Siri Eyes Free, hands-free text messaging ability, four USB ports and an auxiliary audio jack, HD Radio technology, and a three-month SiriusXM Radio trial subscription are among the midsize sedan’s standard comfort and convenience features. For safety, the car gets at least cruise control, a rearview camera, vehicle dynamic control with traction control, active ride control, intelligent forward collision warning, intelligent trace control, an intelligent driver awareness system, automatic emergency braking, hill start assist, an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, rear door alert, a theft-deterrent system, and six airbags. On the 2020 model year, Nissan expands ProPILOT Assist—an advanced driver assistance system—to the SR trim, instead of limiting it to the three upper-level trims (SV, SL, and Platinum)
