When Texas buyers compare the Nissan
Altima to other makes like the Chevrolet Malibu, Honda Accord, and the

Starting with the 2010 Nissan Altima, Grapevine owners found this
affordable full-size sedan's crisp handling and lively acceleration to
be reason enough to choose Altima.
The Nissan Altima was introduced in the USA in 1992 as the 1993 Altima. The Altima's predecessor had been the aggressive Nissan Stanza. Altima cars are built in Smyrna, Tennessee and Canton, Mississippi. The first generation Altima was originally based on the Nissan Bluebird, but its design and styling has always been done in California studios. From the beginning, the Altima, like other Nissan cars, was quick & sporty. The 1993 Altima contained a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine, and raced from 0 to 60 in just 10.4 seconds. The '93 Altima also had a 4-speed manual transmission, and a firm suspension using struts and stabilizer bars. Though classified as a compact car, the great-handling early Altima sedan seated four adults comfortably. The '93 Altima trim levels included the XE, the GXE, the SE, and the GLE.
The Altima underwent generational changes in 1998, 2002, and 2007, with a major facelift in 2010. In 2002, fifty automotive journalists at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, named the Nissan Altima as the "North American Car of the Year." Although Nissan never made an Altima convertible, the 2008 Altima Coupe debuted in 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show - the first-ever two-door Altima. Always economical, the Altima Hybrid was introduced to Texas Nissan in 2007. Originally based on Toyota's hybrid technology, Nissan's hybrid cars now benefit from the brilliant work of Nissan's power train engineers, generally regarded as the best in the world.
