The Nissan Altima 2013 is set to take the crown from Toyota Camry as America's best-selling midsize sedan model. After finishing in second place in 2011, Nissan is pulling all the stops in an effort to overtake the Camry in the sales division. Will its new features be enough to take it to the top? Let us take a look at the new Nissan Altima 2013 to see if it deserves to be at the top of its class.

The new Altima comes in a new shape and a more upscale design. It is slightly longer and wider as compared to its predecessor but it is actually a lot lighter since it now uses aluminium materials for the trunk, hood and roof, and high-strength steel for the body. It now features curved and creased body panels, a new corporate grille, more aggressive headlights and the right amount of chrome to complete its new sleek and stylish look.

The interior of the new Nissan Altima 2013 is also quite impressive. It features "zero-gravity" seats for maximum comfort, a classier dashboard, a sporty-looking steering wheel and a quieter interior. The new model softened the edges and sculpted the lines to create a more spacious cabin with excellent legroom and foot space. It also features automatic dual-zone climate control, sunroof, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and 9-speaker Bose stereo to keep you comfortable and entertained while on the road.

The Altima 2013 has been ripped for superior performance. Aside from using lighter materials for the bodywork, Nissan also lightened the engine and improved its overall aerodynamics to give you excellent performance and maximum fuel efficiency. As a result, the 4-cylinder model gets 27 mpg city and 38 mpg highway while the 6-cylinder model gets 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. It has outstanding acceleration and can go from 0 to 60 in an instant. The Nissan Altima also provides superior control while taking sharp turns so you will always feel safe behind the wheels.

 

It has been designed for maximum safety. The new Nissan Altima 2013 takes your safety quite seriously. As a matter of fact, it has incorporated numerous high-tech features to ensure your safety. It comes with 6 standard airbags, a rear-view camera, a LATCH system for easier child car seat installation, lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems and a moving object detection system when reversing.

A sneak-peak under the hood. If you are interested in the Nissan Altima 2013, you can either go for the 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine which produces 182 hp at 6,000 rpm or the 3.5 liter V6 engine which can kick in about 270 hp. Both engines use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has been completely re-engineered for this model.

After the Pittsburgh Auto Show was postponed earlier this year, auto enthusiasts have been waiting for the event to finally take place. And at last, after an extended waiting period for the motor show, it opened its doors just last April 26 and will run through the 30th of the month.

Naturally, the mentioned motor show is once again filled with mechanical wonders including a coupe from Japan's third largest car manufacturer. Nissan, the ailing Japanese brand, strut their stuff at the Pittsburgh Auto Show with the centerpiece featuring the Nissan Altima Coupe. The coupe version of Nissan's bet selling model is initially touted as a strong competitor in its class given its high aesthetic value.

Experts in the auto field agree that the introduction of the coupe version of the Nissan Altima came at a good time. For the pasty months, the demand for two-door vehicles has been constantly increasing. This is evidence that car buyers are looking for smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles in the face of increasing prices of gasoline as the summer driving season approaches. The number of coupe models in the market is also growing as the demand increases.

Honda, another Japanese car manufacturer has already announced that they have a redesigned coupe which, as they claim, is ready to take on the coupe market in the United States. The entry of Nissan to the said class will bolster the brand's popularity in the United States auto market. For the past few months, Nissan has been performing well in the market after the woeful year that they have in 2006. The Nissan Altima Coupe is seen as one of the vehicles that will enable Nissan to get back to its winning ways.

The Nissan Altima Coupe, while taken from the Altima Sedan, is made shorter and lower. This comparatively smaller size of the coupe makes it classier than the sedan, making it one of the most youth-oriented vehicles in Nissan's lineup. The coupe is more driver-oriented than the sedan, thanks to features unique to the coupe. Driver comfort and convenience is ensured by supportive front seats and practical gauges and controls. The Nissan Altima parts used in the construction of the coupe complemented the engine that the vehicle is equipped with.

The powerplant hidden under the hood of the Nissan Altima Coupe can be a 3.5-liter V6 or a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine unit. The V6 is rated to produce as much as 270 horsepower while the smaller four-cylinder engine is capable of producing 175 horsepower.

Aside from the Altima coupe, Nissan also brought the new Altima Sedan at the Pittsburgh Auto Show. It is a known fact that the Altima is the best selling model from Nissan and the company sees it fit that they improve the Altima sedan as it makes its bid for supremacy in its class. To give the Nissan Altima sedan an edge in its field, Nissan redesigned the Altima's exterior styling. While the sedan is not as good looking as its coupe version, it has that aggressive look which is very much capable of giving it a high aesthetic value.
