Get One Good Look at the Nissan Altima Before It Debuts
Spy photographers have captured the 2019 Nissan Altima testing before its debut later next month.
Nissan has confirmed the new Altima will be unveiled at the 2018 New York Auto Show on March 28, and these latest spy photos give us a real good idea of what to expect. Spy photographers managed to capture photos of the Altima’s interior, revealing a tablet-like infotainment screen. The materials used inside the cabin appear to be upgrades over the current model, and shoppers can likely expect to see Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The Japanese automaker will also add ProPilot Assist driver assistance technologies to the Altima.

Although the prototype is still wearing camouflage bumper to bumper, expect the styling to draw heavily from the VMotion 2.0 Concept that debuted at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. Reports suggest the Altima will keep its naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, paired to a CVT as its volume unit. The V6 engine however, will likely be replaced by a turbocharged four-cylinder offering. All-wheel drive has also been rumored to be offered as an option, and a NISMO variant is a possibility.
We’ll learn more about the 2019 Nissan Altima on March 28, so stay tuned as AutoGuide.com will be reporting live from the 2018 New York Auto Show.

They are a reliable car. A buddy from work has 300,000 kms on his. His only gripe is the CVT, so he is looking at a conventional 6 speed auto in his next vehicle. The CVT is my issue as well. Had a mITSubiSHIT Cancer with the CVT and bloody hell that was a mistake. A CVT only makes sense in a hybrid since it is for fuel economy. That is the only way I would consider something with a CVT.
Not sure about that stop start button placement.
