Inovev forecasts production of 300,000 Nissan Altima per year
- After the recent renewal of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, the third-best-selling Japanese sedan in the US’ D / E segment, the Nissan Altima, is in turn completely renewed. This sixth generation was introduced at the 2018 New York Auto Show and will only be sold in the North American market.
- The Nissan Altima accounted for 18% of sales of the brand in the United States last year, while at end of life. It could account for up to 20% of the brand's sales in 2019, even if the Rogue SUV (X-Trail in Europe) will continue to outstrip it (28% of sales in 2017).
- The new Altima is longer (+ 2.5cm), wider (+ 2.3cm) and lower (-2.7cm). The wheelbase is also extended by 4.8cm. For the first time, the Altima will be available in four-wheel drive.
- The engines announced are: a 4-cylinder gasoline engine of 2.5 liters developing 188hp and a 4-cylinder gasoline turbo 2.0 liters developing 248hp (which replaces the old 3.5-liter V6).
- The new Nissan Altima will be produced as previously on the US site of Canton (Ohio). Given the declining influence of sedans on the US market, Inovev expects production of 300,000 units per year, compared to 262,000 in 2017 and 328,000 in 2016.
