Its four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission consume very little fuel, and the Altima’s cockpit can be loaded up with features such as a heated steering wheel, a sunroof, a 360-degree camera system as well as an infotainment system with eight-inch touchscreen. The latest advanced safety driving aids are available as well.
