2012 Nissan Altima
Available in Sedan or Coupe
PUT FUN THROUGH ITS PACES.
Feel like taking on the open road? Altima Sedan and Coupe have what oyu need with an advanced engine lineup and enough performance features to satisfy that inner enthusiast.
Two Engine Choices -- Go for the high-energy 175-hp 4-cylinder engine and you'll get friction-reducing technology like molybdenum-coated pistons and microfinished components. What's that all mean? You can have V6-like smoothness and performance, while still achieving up to 32 mpg. Or opt for Nissan's legendary VQ 3.5-Liter V6 and you'll find that even the carpool lane can be a thrill. Thanks to a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) that optimizes the opening of intake valves, you'll always have power on tap -- off the line, or passing. And even with all that power at your disposal, you'll still get impressive fuel economy.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) -- Say goodbye to gear hunting. Seamless, instant acceleration is yours with the work of Nissan's virtually gearless CVT transmission.
6-speed manual transmission -- Purist? A smooth-shifting 6-speed manual is available on Coupe to keep you close to the action.
Z-inspired suspension -- Those curves won't know what hit them. Your Altima's Z-inspired suspension features a lightweight multi-link design for quick response, and a level ride through the twisty stuff.
Vehicle-speed-sensitive steering -- Light when navigating a parking lot, more weighted when tackling the turns. That's a win-win. More boost at low speeds makes maneuvering easier, and less boost at higher speeds helps give you a secure, confident feel.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) -- A slick spot in a corner can have you suddenly going in a direction you didn't want. VDC monitors steering and braking in comparison to the vehicle's actual path and reduces engine power and / or applies appropriate brake pressure to specific wheels to help keep you on your steered path.
Traction Control system (TCS) -- Altima's power is wasted if all it does is spin the tires, so when the standard Traction Control System senses drive-wheel spin, it responds by reducing throttle or applying brake pressure to help maintain traction.
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) -- When you have a car full of passengers, EBD senses the extra weight and sends additional force to the rear brakes for even greater confidence behind the wheel.
Standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) -- The standard ABS pumps the brakes faster than you possibly can in panic-braking situations. This helps prevent wheel lockup, so you can continue to steer around obstacles while braking heavily.

Nissan Advanced Air Bag System -- Incorporates seat belt sensors and an occupant-classification sensor to inflate the dual-stage supplemental front air bags according to crash severity and seat belt usage.
