Nissan’s mid-sized Altima is the ideal everyday sedan with its capable and efficient powertrain options, practical interior, and great technology. The car’s muscular and sophisticated styling also makes it easy on the eyes. Here’s your introduction to the all-new 2022 Nissan Altima!

Powertrain Selection and Performance

The standard engine is a 188-horsepower 2.5L inline-4 that features direct injection and dual overhead camshafts. Owners of the SR VC-Turbo will have up to 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque from a turbocharged 2.0L engine at their command when 93-octane fuel is used. The EPA estimates excellent fuel economy with the 2.5L-equipped model achieving up to 39 highway MPG. Even the turbo version impresses with its 34 highway MPG.

Precise steering and a finely tuned chassis allow the car to change direction quickly and smoothly. Most Altima models also offer Nissan’s Intelligent AWD system for improved traction when the roads get slippery as a result of rain or ice.

Interior Space and Comfort

Inside the Altima’s interior is a spacious passenger cabin with a sleek and mature design. High-end touches like matte chrome accenting and available wood or piano black trim add to the interior’s upscale feel. Occupants will be able to enjoy close to 100 cubic feet of passenger space and over 35 inches of legroom when seated in the rear. All trims feature in-cabin air filtration, a tilting and telescoping steering column, and 60/40-split rear seating.

For increased comfort and convenience, heated front seats with power adjustability and driver lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a memory system for exterior mirrors and driver’s seat are available. Available multi-color ambient lighting and a power moonroof can help enhance the evening mood. Despite its increased power, SR VC-Turbo models maintain a peaceful ride by using an active noise cancellation system.

Infotainment System and Connectivity

Most Altima trims offer the NissanConnect 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration and USB-C connectivity. Nissan’s available Door to Door Navigation feature lets you easily add destinations from your mobile device to the vehicle’s navigation system. There’s also a voice recognition system that allows you to control multiple vehicle functions without having to remove your hands from the wheel.

Driver Assistance Technology

The Altima’s Safety Shield 360 suite brings added peace of mind as it continuously monitors for potential threats. Forward collision warning with automated emergency braking is present on all trims and includes pedestrian detection. The available blind-spot monitoring system can help you avoid collisions when you’re changing lanes. Rear cross-traffic alert keeps an eye out for other vehicles when you’re backing out of your parking space.

Also offered is the innovative ProPILOT Assist feature, which is capable of helping to maintain the car’s speed, following distance, and lane position in heavy traffic as long as your hands remain on the wheel.

You’ll find yourself looking forward to your commute when you become a Nissan Altima owner thanks to the car’s impressive features and attractive looks! Schedule a test drive with the 2022 model by contacting Rolling Hills Nissan today!
