New for 2009 Nissan Altima

The 2009 Nissan Altima remains primarily unchanged following the model's complete redesign just two years ago. The base-level trim of the Altima gets a number of upgrades, including updated wheel covers, black grille highlights and several new standard features. Other enhancements include air conditioning with in-cabin microfilter and front side window demisters, trunk cancel switch and rear seat lock, dual sun visors with driver’s side vanity mirror and speed-sensitive variable intermittent windshield wipers. The Altima 2.5 S features dual zone automatic temperature control and rear A/C vents while the Altima 3.5 SE now includes standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, fog lights and rear spoiler. The Altima 3.5 SE Coupe gets revised 18-inch wheels with larger tires for 2009.
2009 Nissan Altima reviews by MSN Autos
ConsumerReports.org® Short Take
The Altima has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that got 25 mpg overall in our tests, and an optional 3.5-liter V6 that got 23 mpg overall. The Hybrid got 32 mpg in our tests, but the trunk is small. Interior quality has been improved, but rear seat room is tight. Stability control is not available on the 2.5 S and only optional on top-trim versions of the V6.
