AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ALTIMA
EFFICIENT TECH FOR AN ECONOMICAL DRIVE
VC-TURBO™ ENGINE
An Altima for all seasons
Imagine a sedan that gives you the kind of capability you usually expect from an SUV. Paired with Altima’s 2.5-L engine, the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system continuously monitors road conditions and can respond to changes faster than the blink of an eye. [[1323]]
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive distributes power among all four wheels for optimal traction and responsiveness. [[1323]]
In normal driving conditions, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive sends power to the front wheels for enhanced fuel economy. [[1323]]
The science behind a world’s first [[1255]]
While other engines must deal with a fixed compression ratio — providing the same balance of power and efficiency regardless of the situation — the VC-Turbo constantly adapts, raising or lowering its pistons’ reach seamlessly, variably and continuously, providing the same balance of power and efficiency regardless of the situation.

When you press on the gas, the pistons move to produce a lower compression ratio. Similar to when a sprinter crouches to launch off of the starting line, it results in instant V6-like power from this mighty 4-cylinder turbo engine.
When you cruise at lower speeds, the rotating assembly transforms to produce a higher compression ratio. And like the more relaxed stance of a long-distance runner, it conserves energy and increases your fuel economy.[[1419]]
From drawing board to factory floor, Nissan engineers spent two decades researching, testing, and refining what would ultimately become the VC-Turbo. Their journey was fueled by a single question: Could you create an efficient engine that could transform into a turbo powerhouse and back? Their hard work and diligence provided the answer and delivered something truly unique – the world’s first production variable compression turbo engine. [[1419]][[1279]]
Opt for more fuel efficiency
With the 2021 Altima FWD, you’ll get up to a combined 32 MPG. Just think about what you could do with all that time saved at the gas pump. [[1419]]
Altima offers two different engines, including a 4-cylinder Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) engine that packs some serious fuel economy with an impressive 39 MPG hwy.[[1419]]
Altima's Xtronic CVT features dynamic step shifting, wider gear ratio coverage, and an adaptive shift controller. The result is a more connected, spirited driving experience.
Drive like a pro
Altima uses Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ technology to work a little magic behind the scenes, making every drive feel more comfortable, confident, and enjoyable. [[1115]]
Steering and suspension that brings out the driver in you
Altima features a stiff chassis for exciting handling and control. With responsiveness and tuning dialed in by our engineers, Altima was made to impress.
Altima’s steering response is instantaneous, so when a curve appears ahead, you can lean into it.
With an independent rear suspension featuring monotube rear shocks, confident handling and stability come naturally.
Add some fun to every drive
Sporty 19” wheels make a bold statement off the line and an exclusive interior with Rakuda Tan stitching keeps you riding in style. The Nissan Altima SR features standard paddle shifters that put power at your fingertips, while available suspension and steering tuning make every drive feel like something special. [[329]]
