2011 Nissan Altima Coupe and Sedan Concept Performance

2011 Nissan Altima Coupe and Sedan Review and Specs

The name Nissan Altima the First Car originally referred to a trim line of the Nissan Laurel mid-size car sold in Central America and the Caribbean before 1992. In 1993, Nissan discontinued its much-criticized Stanza, replacing it with the US-made Altima, while remaining a compact car. The very first Altima rolled off the assembly line on June 15, 1992, as a 1993 model. All Altimas had been built in Smyrna, Tennessee, until June 2004, when Nissan's Canton, Mississippi, plant began producing additional Altimas to meet high demand. The Nissan Altima is a mid-size automobile manufactured by Nissan, and is arguably a continuation of the Nissan Bluebird line, which began in 1957. It has historically been larger, more powerful, and more luxurious than the Nissan Sentra but less so than the Nissan Maxima. The Altima is available in North America as well as the Middle East. In other markets, Nissan sells a related mid-size sedan called the Nissan Teana, built on the same FF-L platform used by the 2002–2006 Nissan Altima.

The third-generation Altima (chassis model L31) debuted for the 2002 model year. It was the first mass-market product built on Nissan's new FF-L platform, which was unique to North America and had no equivalent model in Japan. The Asian Nissan Teana is similar but not quite identical, slotting between the Altima and Maxima in size; all three model lines shared the same platform. The Altima grew enormously for this generation, as interior volume expanded to 118.8 cubic feet (3.36 m3). The Altima's interior dimensions even surpassed that of the higher-end 2000-03 Maxima, so the 2004 Maxima was moved more upscale into the full-size bracket.

The 2011 Nissan Altima sedan and 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe Model returns in four-door sedan and two-door-coupe form. It remains the rascal of a popular triumvirate that includes the precision-tuned 2011 Honda Accord and the kinder, gentler 2011 Toyota Camry. Camry, Accord, and Altima in that order -- are the top sellers in the midsize-car class. The Altima Sedan received a number of significant refinements just last year – including a restyled hood, grille, front bumper and aluminum-alloy wheel designs. These changes added a greater visual volume to the front end, especially the hood. The changes also provide greater differentiation between the Altima Sedan and Altima Coupe.

The attraction is inevitable. Designed to be a true coupe from the ground up and quality-built to perform mile after mile. 270 horses delivered as only Nissan can. A new benchmark has been set by boldly offering what’s next. An intelligent CVT transmission and advanced technology to guide your every desire. Your world on a navigation system so advanced, smart never felt this easy. The 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe.
