Altima available VC-Turbo Engine
The science behind a world’s first [[1255]]
While other engines must deal with a fixed compression ratio, the VC-Turbo constantly adapts. It raises or lowers its pistons’ reach seamlessly, variably and continuously, to provide an ideal balance of power and efficiency for every driving situation. [[1523]] [[1279]]
248 HORSEPOWER [[1279]]

Flexes for more muscle
When you press on the gas, the pistons move to produce a lower compression ratio. Similar to when a sprinter crouches to launch off the starting line, it results in instant V6-like power from this mighty 4-cylinder turbo engine. [[1279]]
Extends for efficiency
When you are cruising, 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. [[1523]]
20 years in the making
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: Can 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. [[1523]] [[1255]]
Altima MPG, efficiency, and transmission
Opt for more fuel efficiency
With the 2022 Altima front-wheel drive, you can get up to a combined 32 MPG. [[1523]] Just think about what you could do with all that time saved at the gas pump.
Altima’s 2.5-liter direct injection gasoline engine
Altima offers two different engines, including a 2.5L, 4-cylinder Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) engine that packs some serious fuel economy with up to 39 MPG hwy. [[1523]] [[1280]]
XTRONIC CVT® (Continuously variable transmission)
Altima’s Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) features wide gear ratio coverage for a more efficient drive. Want thrills instead? Dynamic step shifting simulates traditional gear changes for that familiar sense of exhilaration. Efficiency and excitement on demand. [[1523]]

Altima steering and suspension
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.
Responsive steering
Altima’s steering response is instantaneous, so when a curve appears ahead, you can lean into it. It’s made possible by a dual-pinion, electric-powered steering system, an aluminum housing, and steel mounting brackets. What’s that mean for you? It means improved steering feedback and better control.
Confidence-inspiring suspension
With an independent rear suspension featuring monotube rear shocks, confident handling and stability come naturally. Added suspension reinforcements and increased damper-mounting stiffness also improve vehicle response without impacting ride harshness.
The all-sport Altima SR
Add some fun to every drive
Sporty 19” wheels make a bold statement off the line, and an exclusive interior with orange 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]]
