2015 Nissan Altima 2.5SLReview By John Heilig - The Auto Channel (blog)
MODEL: 2015 Nissan Altima 2. 5SL. ENGINE: 2. 5-liter DOHC I-4. TRANSMISSION: CVT. HORSEPOWER/TORQUE: 182 hp @ 6,000 rpm/180 lb. -ft. @ 4,000 rpm. WHEELBASE: 109. 3 in. LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT: 191. 5 x 72. 0 x 57. 9 in. TIRES: P215/55R17. CARGO: 15. 4 cu. ft. ECONOMY: 22 mpg city/38 mpg highway/26. BOTTOM LINE: The Nissan Altima is a good, solid, comfortable mid-size sedan at a reasonable price point. Personally, the Nissan Altima came as a breath of fresh air. My schedule called for 10 of the last 12 vehicles I have tested as sport utilities of some sort. The Altima is special in other ways, too. First, unlike some smaller sedans, it is a mid-size, and therefore is the size I would look for if I was buying a car. It is also the preferred size of most American consumers. Vehicles in its competition class include the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Mazda6, among others. That said, the Altima is a strong player in the segment. I’m not privy to sales numbers, and frankly I don’t think they have a bearing on which vehicle you should choose, but I’m sure the Altima is up there with the leaders. Our tester was equipped with a 2. 5liter DOHC inline four that is rated at a healthy 187 horsepower and 180 lb. -ft. of torque. However, Nissan rightly brags about the Altima delivering 38 highway miles per gallon, and that number would surely suffer with a. Source: www.theautochannel.com
