2013 Nissan Altima

2013 Nissan Altima, Altima is Nissan’s bestselling car in the United States but with the rapid introduction of hot new models to the midsized sedan segment, the Japanese automaker will use the 2012 New York International Auto Show to introduce the new 2013 Nissan Altima.

Nissan hasn’t offered any information on the new Altima but they have unveiled the image on the right and the video below showing the 2013 Altima completely unmasked – but from a tough angle to really see any details.

We have brightened up the video a bit to bring out some details of the 2013 Nissan Altima which reveals headlights that look like they protrude from the body a bit with a center grille section that extends out beyond the rest of the front fascia.

 Nissan states that “the new sleek exterior design of 2013 Nissan Altima has a low, wide stance and sculpted profile that makes for quite a dynamic appearance.”

We do know that the 2013 Altima will be all new so in addition to the sleek new body, it will be interesting to see if Nissan rolls out a new engine lineup. At one point, Nissan was on the foreground of sedan performance but as their competitors have increased the performance aspect of their vehicles, the new Altima could use some more power to keep up with the likes of the Toyota Camry and the new Ford Fusion.

The Altima has often been one of the bestselling cars in the American auto industry but with competition from around the world taking their chunk of the midsized sedan class, this is almost a necessary move for the automaker if they want to hold their ground in the segment.
