The mid-cycle refresh features retuned steering and suspension, the Xtronic transmission’s third-generation D-step logic, which simulates traditional automatic transmission shift points and improves performance.
Upgraded technology features include standard Siri Eyes Free and NissanConnectSM with mobile apps (not available for the 2.5 grade), available NissanConnect with navigation and mobile apps, and NissanConnect Services powered by SiriusXM telematics (subscription required, sold separately).
The five 2.5-liter models feature a 182-hp 2.5L DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine, while 3.5L Altimas offer a 270-hp 3.5L DOHC V6.
In 2013, commercial fleets registered 7,681 Altima sedans, according to Automotive Fleet. Fleets typically choose the base 2.5 or 2.5 S trim models, said Tim Gallagher, a Nissan spokesman.
