Our Top Three Reasons to Buy the Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima at Nissan of Bay Shore is a stylish four-door midsize family sedan that's well worth your consideration. Here are the top three attractions for families:

• Impressive power options. The Nissan Altima's available all-wheel drive makes this vehicle stand out in its class. The technologically advanced VC-Turbo engine option also helps set the Altima apart from rivals like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
• Exceptional fuel economy. The Nissan Altima does extremely well in fuel efficiency, delivering up to 39 miles per gallon on the highway. On city streets, it achieves up to 28 miles per gallon, for a combined fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon.
• Cutting-edge safety. This important advantage is highlighted by Nissan's remarkable ProPilot Assist, with features that are more intuitive than those of comparable competitors. In addition, the Altima has been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

The Nissan Altima is distinguished by a spacious, comfortable cabin, giving you and your family first-class treatment wherever you drive around Babylon, West Islip, or Dix Hills, NY. The Altima comes in five trim levels, giving Nissan buyers plenty of attractive options to choose from.

Performance

Good news for family sedan buyers who want strong performance along with practicality. The Nissan Altima comes with a standard 188-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides satisfying acceleration on the roads around Huntington Station. The engine teams up with the one-of-a-kind, continuously variable Nissan automatic transmission.

The optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder delivers up to 248 horsepower. The steering system has a precision that makes this midsize sedan stand out in its class. For even more fun, consider the optional SR VC-Turbo model. In addition to the turbo engine, it has paddle shifters that can put you in manual shift mode, so you can get back to real driving again.

Safety

The new Altima earned a Five-Star crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The reason for the accolades: The Nissan Altima has plenty of advanced safety features, including a forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking system. That helps the Altima detect a potential crash in time to avoid the collision completely. If the driver doesn't respond in time, the system can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the impact and severity of the crash.

In addition, the new Nissan Altima SV version and higher trims have standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert to keep you safe on the streets of Brentwood NY. There's also lane-centering assist, to help keep you safely centered in your lane, along with available adaptive cruise control, to help maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you. A 360-degree camera system is available on higher trims.

Interior

The SV Premium package includes heated seats, a leather-clad steering wheel, and a moonroof. The Altima SL comes with leather seats standard, a heated steering wheel and seats, plus a premium audio system.

The available flat-bottom leather-wrapped steering wheel feels luxurious, while the available leather seats feature handsome contrast stitching. Heated seats come on many trims, and the steering wheel can be heated for additional warmth. The available dual-zone automatic temperature system can make everyone feel more comfortable as you drive anywhere around Suffolk County.
