Title: New 2010 Nissan Altima Leaked (details and photos) Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:09:29 +0000 Author: Trance4you
The new images of the updated Nissan 2010 Altima was leaked to the web on the same day the company issued a recall for 26,398 Altimas and Maximas.
The 2010 Altima receives the reworked front fascia, now it features a slightly more prominent upper grille and a lower intake that’s molded in body color plastic instead of black. Flanking that lower opening are new foglights that sit inside boomerang-shaped recesses. We can’t make out much of the car’s hind quarters, but it seems the tail lamps have grown a in size.

Engine options will expected carryover, meaning we can expect a 2.5-liter four cylinder with 175 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque as well as a 3.5-liter V6 with 270 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
In terms of technology, the Altima is probable to deal a 4.3-crawl HDD navigation approach (with iPod connectivity), xenon headlights, and a 9 GB audio usage.
