Nissan Altima Sedan model year 2013 Two decades after the original Nissan Altima revolutionized the traditional mid-size sedan segment in North America, Nissan's best-selling vehicle is about to shake up the category all over again. After making its world debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show, the 2013 Nissan Altima is once again poised to become the new benchmark in the hotly contested segment when it goes on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide summer 2012

The 2013 Altima offers numerous segment defining attributes that enhance the ownership experience and provide real customer value, including

Targeted best-in-segment 38 mpg highway fuel economy  2.5-liter engine)

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Easy Fill Tire Alert

"In a segment as critical as this, with longtime nameplates and new challengers fighting for every sale, it's not enough to just target the competition. You have to think outside  and far above  the segment said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. "We created the new Altima to set a clearly recognized benchmark for many years to come

Most Innovative Nissan Altima Ever

The 2013 Altima is one of five all-new Nissan models set for introduction in the next 15 months and, as the second best-selling car in the United States in 2011, much is riding on the new fifth generation Nissan Altima.

 The safe thing to do would be to follow other automakers' paths, conservatively evolving the Altima so as not to upset the existing owner base. But that would not be in keeping with Nissan's 'Innovation for All' philosophy explained Carolin. "We took our most successful model and changed nearly everything - the look, the feel, the driving experience and, of course the technology down to even the headlights and windshield wipers

The result is a vehicle that builds on the strong fundamental reputation, earned over four generations and two decades, for quality and reliability and adds new levels of innovation, fuel-efficiency, dynamic performance and premium style.

"Against a fragmented competitive set, the new Nissan Altima is hands-down the most engaging, purposeful and energetic vehicle in class," said Carolin. "If you've liked the previous Altima, you'll love this one even more. And if you've never driven an Altima before get ready to have your notion of a mid-size sedan redefined

A Premium Presence

Among the new Altima's many new features, perhaps the one that stands out most is its  class above appeal, which is apparent at first look and first touch of both the exterior and interior executions.

 Mid-size sedan buyers are traditionally motivated first and foremost by the rational aspects of the purchase decision - excellent value, reliability and comfort, which Nissan Altima shares with a number of other nameplates. But Altima buyers have never been satisfied with owning just another boring mid-size sedan," said Carolin.  The new Altima meets all of the rational purchase reasons, but delivers them in a way that is also emotionally rewarding. And it does so through both its dynamic appearance and dynamic driving performance

The 2013 Altima's all-new exterior design starts with its wide, aggressive stance and dramatic front end styling. Though retaining the same wheelbase as the previous generation Nissan Altima, it has a wider front and rear track (+1.4 inches) and deeper fenders  +0.8 inches each side which combine with a crisp new grille design, seamless bumper and projector-type headlights to create a bold, sophisticated appearance.

Nissan Altima's new "premium proportions" continue with the longer sloping rear roofline and raised trunk that combine to create a more fluid silhouette. The A-pillar angle is now slightly more sloped, and the drip rail has been lowered and the waistline raised. In addition, the deep-stamped trunk has been raised and expanded. The new body design is capped by large taillights (with LED taillights standard on SL models) that flow from the rear into the bodysides. Chrome trim and door handles accent the available palette of eight rich exterior colors. Attention to aerodynamic fine-tuning gives the new Altima a lower coefficient of drag.

"The new Altima represents an astonishing transformation - fresh but still pure Altima, aggressive and premium at the same time. The new look is fit and athletic, just the way Altima drives," added Carolin. "And inside, the interior is nothing short of a revolution - with one of the most dynamic, involving and complete makeover Nissan interior designs ever."

The new Nissan Altima's interior defies mid-size sedan convention, rivaling upscale luxury sedans in ambience and sophistication. Like the exterior, there is a premium look and feel - from the driver's side cockpit to the front passenger and rear seating areas - with extensive use of upscale, soft-touch materials and craftsman-like attention to detail.

"The new Altima's interior offers just the right balance of mature sophistication with a highly dynamic and emotional edge. It's refined, not gimmicky, with features that you'd expect to find on a much more expensive vehicle," said Carolin
