The current incarnation of the Nissan Altima dates back to 2007, and we’ll probably have to wait at least another year before the new sedan is released. The Altima is a welcoming vehicle that can carry up to five passengers. As before, this intermediate member of the large Nissan family is available as a sedan or coupe. Engine options include a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, a bullet proof 270-hp 3.5L V6 or a hybrid system.
