In 2009, Nissan sold 203,568 Altima, which won the bronze medal behind the Toyota Camry (356,824 units sold) and Honda Accord (290 056), but has a low of 20,000 units, ahead of Ford Fusion. So, when changes in the number of three Americans, middle-selling family sedan was announced, we knew we had to see for themselves whether Nissan has improved the car – and the possibility of a podium position in sales.
Now, changes are not large. The Altima has received improved face-to-toe in 2007, which is largely responsible for the strong sales figures. To keep things new, without losing form, Nissan’s product planners wisely continue to update fine.
The biggest changes for 2010 Altima received is for the frontend. The front bumper fascia rim one-piece chrome receive sub-band for three twisted gates. Vertical crease now break the suction from the bottom fairing into three different sections and give half as the VW Jetta Altima. This hood has been redesigned to include a lump in the middle and just now on the board. More remarkable is that the lights have lost their big amber reflection element.

Altima interior receive less obvious changes. Nissan claims doubled and pigs have been examined, whereas we were difficult to choose which of them from memory. In addition to the standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (features that we believe that the struggle against the Korean competition), Nissan Altima also said not accept major mechanical changes for 2010.
Why 2.5 SL model we get a speed far worse than we tested in May 2008? (In 2008 Altima 2.5 SL has reached 60 mph in 7.7 seconds and a quarter mile in 16.0 seconds at 88.5 mph.) Technical Director Frank Markus found an increased 12 percent in the final drive gear. Nissan has confirmed that a higher leverage in the name of fuel economy. Indeed, the increase Altima 2010 from the highway fuel economy of 32 mpg (23 mpg city), but one wonders why he did not sound harsh.
