Nissan's 2019 Altima will enter its sixth generation with an array of new features, including a pair of new engines, all-wheel drive, and rear automatic braking. Nissan unveiled its new midsize sedan at the New York International Auto Show.
As previously announced, Nissan is adding its driver-assisting ProPilot Assist feature as standard equipment on the SV, SL, and Platinum grades. The technology combines adaptive cruise control with a lane keeping system. Nissan has added it to 2018 models including the Leaf and Rogue.

Nissan is offering five trim grades, including the base S and SR.
Nissan will offer rear automatic braking that detects objects behind the vehicle and applies brakes when a driver is backing up to avoid a rear collision. The technology is part of the Nissan Safety Shield package that also includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, radar-based blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, and high beam assist.
Two new engines include an optional 2.0-liter variable compression turbocharged inline-four cylinder that replaces the former 3.5-liter V-6. The new standard engine will be a 2.5-liter DOHC direct-injection inline-four cylinder engine. The new all-wheel-drive system is available on trims with this engine. The front-wheel-drive 2019 Altima will offer the 2.0-liter on the SR and Platinum trims.
The 2019 Altima is lower, longer, and wider than the outgoing model that includes available 19-inch wheels. Interior updates include standard a NissanConnect infotainment system and 8-inch multi-color touch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
