Performance: 

Two powerful options. Altima offers a 270-hp V6 or a 175-hp 4-cylinder, both with dual exhaust, and more power and efficiency than before. So no matter which engine you choose, Altima delivers the power you need to blaze through the day in style. 

 - Altima's platform features super-strength, lightweight steel for increased rigidity.

 - Quick response thanks to a multi-link suspension design, including a rebound spring located inside each shock absorber.

 - Vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering delivers more power assistance at lower speeds for easier parking, while less of a boost at higher speeds for a more confident feel.

XTRONIC CVT: 

 - Altima's CVT offers additional control by tapping the shift lever for manual \\\\\\\\"upshift\\\\\\\\" and \\\\\\\\"downshift\\\\\\\\".

 - For total control, the standard 6-speed manual transmission delivers more opportunity to exploit the power of each and every gear.

Hybrid:

The first hybrid that drives like a Nissan. Without compromising power, Altima Hybrid's full hybrid engine drives at low speeds solely on the electric motor, reserving the gas engine for higher speeds, or a combination of both. This helps deliver outstanding 35 mpg and a range of over 600 miles of city driving per tank. It may even get you a nice bit of green (in the form of an IRS tax credit) just for thinking green. Only available in California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, and New Jersey.

 - The EPA has designated the Altima Hybrid an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV).

 - Features forward-thinking technology like electronically controlled Continously Variable Transmission (eCVT), available touch-screen Navigation System with voice recognition and RearView Monitor,¹ and Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System.

Bluetooth:

 - A memo pad feature lets you record messages for playback later.

 - Store up to 70 telephone numbers.

 - System automatically mutes music for phone calls.

Navigation: 

Going way beyond just navigation. The most advanced system ever in an Altima is also easy to operate. By using the touch-screen or hands free voice activation, you can find practically anywhere with just an address. Altima's driver information center also keeps music, Bluetooth, even traffic information right at your fingertips.
