Nissan Altima Features and Specs
If you are expecting the 2013 edition of the Nissan Altima to be overtly stunning and a brand new addition to the inventory of the company, you are grossly mistaken. A glance at this edition will definitely remind you of the very familiar 2012 edition of the Altima. Well, for a company like Nissan, it is quite expected that they will never copy and paste every element of their former vehicle into a newer version of it. From the technology to the looks, Nissan has paid great attention to the previous edition of the Altima and has quite wisely enhanced every little part of it in the 2013 edition of the Altima. If the 2012 version of it was the top-selling car of Nissan as well as the second best-selling car in the world, the company has ensured that its successor will be nothing less.
To start off with, the 2013 edition is about 0.8 inches longer and a tad 0.3 inches wider than its predecessor. The apparent shape and form of the newer edition is somewhat in line with the 2012 edition, unless you can notice the number of lines and creases all over the body of the 2013 Nissan Altima. Nissan has also decided to play safe by retaining the traditional design of the roof in case of the 2013 Altima, thereby increasing the inner space. If anything is undeniably new in this car, it's the nose with the angular headlights, the trapezoid grille and the amazing fascia. The Nissan Altima 2013 is pure luxury and with the LED taillights, it is a real stunner.
Under the hood, there is nothing that will not remind you of the outgoing model, barring the fact that the materials used in this version appear much better and advanced compared to the 2012 edition of it. There is sheer entertainment inside with the Pandora internet radio and the ability to read text messages while you drive down the highway. The seats in the new model have been made better and far more comfortable than in the outgoing model; add to that, the seats, termed as 'zero gravity' seats, are biologically helpful in facilitating blood circulation and reducing fatigue on a long drive. The 4 inches Advanced Drive-Assist Display is one great facility which the Altima comes with.
If you haven't owned the 2012 edition of the Altima, you can surely eye the new Nissan Altima 2013 edition to feel what's inside. Well, you should be ready to burn a hole in your pocket as it is not as cheap as you can expect Nissan's smaller cars to be. But as for the features, the Altima is a desire to watch out for.
