Overview
2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Totally redone for 2007, Nissan's mid-size Altima is even closer to the marque's flagship Maxima in size and character. Spun from Nissan/Renault's robust D-Platform architecture, this stylish front-drive four-door continues as the volume leader in the division's lineup, having been joined by a gasoline-electric Hybrid variant as well as a new-for-2008 Coupe model (each reviewed separately). Even in conventional form, the Altima sedan covers a lot of competitive ground, offering four trim levels, both four- and six-cylinder power and the choice of a six-speed manual or Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). That wide selection helps it face off against the current best-seller, Toyota's popular Camry, as well as the Chevrolet Malibu and Honda Accord -- both all-new for 2008 and both formidable foes in one of America's toughest market segments.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
The Altima's breadth of powertrain and packaging choices opens the door for lots of comparatively affordable variations on the theme that can meet and exceed the needs of all manner of mid-size sedan buyers -- whether they're seeking basic transportation or want something with a more sporting character. Anyone who regularly plans to carry adults in the rear seat will find the Chevy Malibu, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry all offer a bit more usable "stretch space" in the aft quarters than the slightly smaller Altima package.
What's Significant about this Car?
The key Altima enhancement for 2008 is anti-lock brakes becoming standard across the entire line. Also new to the mix are splash guards, a diversity antenna and the availability of XM Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option.
