The 2016 Altima features numerous changes throughout the vehicle. Not only both the interior and exterior have changed, but it has also received improvements in the powertrain, suspension, and noise isolation; making the 2016 Altima a practical and positive purchase.
The exterior changes work together to cultivate an “Energetic Flow,” which is the name of Nissan’s new design language that’s also found in the Murano and the Rogue. The “V-motion grille”, available signature LED boomerang headlights, along with the fog lights and daytime running lights signify those positive changes. Together with a newly sculpted bumper and the honed hood/front fenders give the front fascia a muscular and distinct look. On higher models, all this sheet metal work is complemented by 17/18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
Inside the new Altima, Nissan engineers have also implemented the “Gliding Wing” design theme. The main design element is the broad dash spanning the width of the interior, and the revised center stack. This wing configuration gives the whole cabin a feel of balance.
All this designed balance add up to a premium look and feel with silver and satin black seats and doors.
One of the most attractive features of the Altima is its great fuel economy. Over the last decade the Altima has the biggest increase in fuel economy among midsize cars, giving it a 44 percent increase in combined fuel economy since the 2002 model year.
Increasing from 38 to 39 highway mpg means Altima beats such rivals as Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Kia Optima, and Mazda 6, just to name a few.
