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.
