Nissan Altima to be introduced
Posted on : Monday, 7th November 2016
The new Nissan Altima enters the local market fresh from its global redesign, which includes a new and dramatic exterior design, more and improved luxury features and a significant mechanical upgrade of the steering and suspension system.
The new Nissan Altima features boomerang-shaped headlights, new front and rear bumpers and sculpted fenders. It is fitted with 17” alloy wheels, which perfectly complement the model’s dynamic stance and powerful range of engines. This is also reflected in the sloping roofline, sleek rear tail lights and chrome detailing in the door handles, window trim, door sills and grille.
All Altima models feature automatic headlights and electrically operated side mirrors with integrated turn signals. SL derivatives also offer full LED-headlights, front fog lights and automatic headlamp levelling as standard equipment.
The interior design also comes with an intelligent fitted remote key and an illuminated push-button engine starter with SL models allowing the driver to control the power windows with the remote key.
It also features a leather-clad steering wheel that is adjustable for height and reach and which is heated in SL derivatives. Several vehicle functions can be controlled from the buttons on the steering wheel, and the addition of Bluetooth smartphone connectivity allows for hands-free operation of a mobile phone. Air conditioning and cruise control are standard across the range.
The Altima features a new front seat design that was scientifically researched to provide better support for the driver and front passenger, while also providing better blood flow and more comfort on long drives. The seats have proven highly successful and are called Zero Gravity front seats, for their high comfort levels.
To assure ones safety, all versions of the Altima feature front, front side and curtain airbags as well as anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and vehicle dynamic control (VDC) as standard. The Altima is further fitted with an active understeer control system thatelectronically manages the ventilated disc brakes to control in-corner understeer and ensure that the Altima tracks true to its intended line, even at high speeds.
The Altima will be available in Ghana from the 11th of October 2016 and it comes in 8 different colours to choose from.
