With about a month left to go before the 2016 Nissan Altima hits the market, fans of the line have been rightly excited, and now that the pricing has been officially revealed, the excitement is even higher. It looks like this will be a very solid purchase for those who know what they’re looking for, and the upgrades on the Altima have made it a very capable model for the new year, one that should definitely establish a solid spot for itself on the market and will be talked about for a while.
The new Altima comes with various improvements, both under the hood as well as to the exterior of the car, and it looks like Nissan have been taking suggestions from their fans with regards to how the model should move forward. They’ve adopted the same design language that they’re using in the 2015 Murano and 2016 Maxima, and the company has been very actively improving the model in terms of its performance, so it should be a capable, notable release by them that will enjoy a lot of attention.
Some fans have been a bit critical about the new changes, claiming that they take away too much from the characteristic appearance of the Altima, and they affect the model’s charm in some ways. However, it’s hard to say how much of that is true objectively – many people are happy with how the 2016 Altima looks, on the other hand, so it’s mostly a matter of opinion but there is definitely a lot of potential for success for the new appearance of the Altima once it’s released.
And with a price of $22,500 for the base model once the car arrives in November, it will be a competitive, attractive release which should get a lot of eyes focused on Nissan. The company deserves it right now too, as they have obviously put a lot of effort into the various improvements featured in this model, and they have been trying hard to get people to notice them. Their work is about to pay off once this car hits the market, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to convince even some people who aren’t traditionally Nissan fans.
Of course, the new appearance means little without proper internals to back it up, and thankfully it looks like the 2016 Altima is going to come more than prepared to make a good impression to its potential buyers. There will be a 2.5-liter engine as well as a 3.5-liter one available, and of course the 4-cylidner 2.5-liter engine will be the more economic option, with the other one offering more power at the expense of higher fuel consumption. Exact figures have been released too, though as can be expected people have been a bit way of such numbers following some recent scandals in the industry. We expect that this situation is going to remain unchanged for some time now.
On the other hand, people are also going to get various customization options for their purchase of the new Altima, and those who want to make their car really look in a way that matches their preferences and personal style should look no further. It sounds like Nissan have been paying special attention to buyers who like to customize their rides, and this will be a very good release for them. Of course, this shouldn’t exclude buyers who want to just quickly get something that matches their needs, as the base models will be quite good too.
