5 reasons to buy the 2015 Nissan Altima
1. It's super comfortable
Everyone likes being comfortable in the car, but for some people it's especially important. The 2015 Nissan Altima is known for its comfortable front seats, which are perfect if you spend a lot of time driving. Nissan says this is because of the Zero Gravity Seats that come standard on any 2015 Altima. This means you and your favorite people can head out on a road trip in comfort, no matter how many miles you're putting under your belt.
2. Available V6 engine
If you crave power beneath the pedals, you'll like that the 2015 Nissan Altima is available with a 270-hp 3.5L V6 engine. With that engine, the Altima can accelerate from zero to 60 in just over six seconds. The V6 has enough power to make your daily commute or a weekend drive on windy mountain roads just a little more exciting. Fuel economy is also good, with an EPA-estimated combined score of 26 mpg.
3. Available driver assist features
Who doesn't like a bit of peace of mind behind the wheel? The 2015 Nissan Altima can offer that thanks to available convenience features including blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning. A rearview camera is also available on some models, and rear cross-traffic alert can also detect moving objects that may cross your path as you reverse, sounding an alert and making it easier to spot anything in your way. This makes every drive just that little bit easier.
4. Solid premium sound system
The 2015 Nissan Altima comes standard with a four-speaker audio system. But if you're the type of person who always has the music going, opt for the available Bose® Premium Audio System, which comes with nine speakers. Whether you're into classical or classic rock, it will make your favorite songs sound great.
5. Lots of trims
The 2015 Nissan Altima comes in seven trim levels, so you can find exactly what you want. The base 2.5 trim comes with a 182 horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder engine and a basic cloth interior. Higher-level trims, working up to the top-end 3.5 SL, add the V6 engine, leather seats, premium audio, and other luxuries.
