The front end is pretty stylish, and it’s fitted with Nissan’s new corporate grille and bordered by more aggressive headlights. The front end’s cohesive design carries through to the rest of the car and brings a healthy dose of Maxima styling to the sedan.

Backseat passengers enjoy an elevated seating position with more room than you’ll find in the new Chevrolet Malibu. The Altima’s rear bench provides good thigh support for adult passengers, which isn’t the norm in this segment. Combined with good legroom and foot space as well as lots of side glass to fend off claustrophobia, the backseat is a comfortable space.
