Y K Almoayyed and Sons has officially launched the all-new Nissan Altima 2019 at the Nissan showroom in Sitra.
It features expressive styling, an uplifting interior, two new powertrains and advanced Nissan intelligent mobility features.
The sixth generation of Nissan’s best-selling mid-size sedan made its world debut at the 2018 New York International Auto Show, alongside the first North American showing of Nissan’s Formula E race car.
“The all-new Altima builds on 25 years of heritage,” said Nissan Bahrain general manager Arindam Chakravarty.
“It is an incredibly popular model in the Middle East and we are confident that the advancements made in the sixth generation of the car will heighten its appeal.
“It is designed to shake up the mid-size sedan segment in terms of design, driving enjoyment and technologies that are simultaneously advanced and affordable.
“Between the sleek exterior, luxurious interior, engine improvements, tighter suspension and increased seat support, the 2019 Altima is a class above.”
The sedan’s design was inspired by the award-winning Nissan V-motion 2.0 concept car, which debuted at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
It is lower, longer and wider than the previous generation with a highly balanced, aggressive stance and the option of 19-inch wheels and tires.
Inside, the all-new premium interior features a wide ‘gliding wing’ instrument panel – which accentuates the exterior’s low cowl and hood, helping create an open, airy environment.
Key interior comfort and convenience features include upgraded seats with added bolstering for improved holding and support.
The car also features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an eight-inch multi-touch colour display for complete in-car entertainment and ease of driver control.
Cutting-edge Nissan intelligent mobility technologies have been integrated into the 2019 Altima as standard including Nissan’s rear cross traffic alert, which helps drivers detect stationary objects when reversing.
The new Altima also provides front, side and rear safety monitoring and intervention technologies including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, radar-based blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and high beam assist.
Two new engines have been introduced in the new model.
Standard on all 2019 Altima grade levels is a new 2.5-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder direct injection engine.
In addition to gains in horsepower and torque, the new engine offers improvements in smoothness and cabin quietness, along with enhanced fuel economy and cleaner emissions.
Replacing the previous-generation’s 3.5-liter V6 engine is the world’s first production-ready variable compression turbo inline four-cylinder.
A significant technological breakthrough, the VC-Turbo seamlessly changes its compression ratio, delivering the performance of a much larger power plant with fuel efficiency and improved emissions.
The 2019 Altima will be offered in a range of trim levels – S, SV and SL in the 2.5L and SV and SL grades in 2.0L turbo. 2.0L VC-Turbo will be open for reservations in early summer 2019. For more information, call 17732732 or 17221555.
