The Nissan Altima has a reputation as one of the most sophisticated cars in its class. The new version is no exception. When you get behind the wheel of the 2020 Nissan Altima, you’ll immediately take notice of its comfort, intuitive controls, rich array of technology, and of course, its robust performance. Possibly the most exciting new feature available on the 2020 Altima for us Northern Colorado drivers is the incorporation of Nissan's Intelligent All Wheel Drive. For the first time ever, you can get this amazing sedan with AWD, providing you with more confidence in snow and inclement weather. Just like the Nissan Rogue, this new Altima was designed to be compatible with the AWD hardware from the outset. Doing so kept weight and handling in check and prevented any extreme drop in fuel economy that might be expected for an AWD upgrade. AWD Altima Performance The AWD Altima uses Nissan's 4 cylinder, 2.5 Liter Direct Injection Gasoline engine, providing 188 horsepower. It is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission. The Xtronic CVT features dynamic step shifting, wider gear ratio coverage, and an adaptive shift controller. The result is a more connected, spirited driving experience. Nissan's Intelligent AWD system continuously monitors road conditions and can respond to changes in the blink of an eye. It distributes power, as needed, to the wheels with the best traction. In normal driving conditions, power is sent to the Altima's front wheels to maximize fuel economy. This results in extreme fuel efficiency. Read on to learn more about the AWD Altima's impressive MPG ratings. Fuel Economy The AWD Altima weighs 120 lbs more than the FWD versions. You’d never notice the extra weight from behind the wheel, however. You likely won't notice at the fuel pump, either, as this version of the Altima has maintained impressive fuel economy. The AWD Altima S, SV, and SL provides a respectable 26 MPG in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. To put that in perspective, the most efficient FWD Altima provides 28 mpg in the city and 39 on the highway. Compare that with its bigger sibling, the Rogue, which offers 26 city, 33 highway, and 29 combined. While the FWD Altima will use slightly less gas, MPG decrease is small and a fair trade for AWD capabilities. Safety and Technology Innovative comfort-boosting features and a wide variety of safety tools are just a few of the reasons to consider the new AWD Altima. The newest model is available with Nissan's safety Shield 360, which will help you watch the road and cover your blind spots. Safety Shield 360 incorporates Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Automatic Braking. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning is also on the lookout when you can't see what's ahead. Additionally, the AWD Altima features Nissan's innovative ProPILOT Assist. This hands on driver assistance system makes long commutes and traffic packed drives a breeze. The Altima also comes equipped with an intuitive and engaging infotainment system stocked with available features including smartphone compatibility, Apple Car Play, Android Auto and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Buying is the tried and true method of getting behind the wheel of a new car. But leasing has soared in popularity in recent years, with nearly one out of every three new vehicles on the road today being a lease. So which option is right for you? Because a vehicle is a significant expense, it’s worth taking the time to examine buying vs. leasing to help you determine which route is best for you. Ultimately, the decision to buy or lease is a personal preference as there are several benefits to each. Buyer’s Guide to Nissan Financing Options Buying Buying a vehicle, whether paying for it outright or financing the purchase with a loan, is the more traditional way of getting a new set of wheels. Here are some advantages of being a buyer: Owning a vehicle means having the freedom to customize it with accessories, decals, or aftermarket upgrades. When you buy a vehicle, you can sell it or trade it in at any time, making it easy to exchange your vehicle for a different one. Buying a vehicle means you can sell it at a later time and recoup some of the money you put into it. If you keep a purchased vehicle long enough to pay it off in full, you will not have to make any monthly payments to keep a car in your driveway and can eliminate one of your monthly expenses. There’s no limit as to how many miles you put on a purchased vehicle. Leasing Leasing is the alternative to buying and while vehicle leasing has been around for decades, the practice has risen in popularity in recent years. Some of the benefits of leasing include: Leasing generally comes with lower monthly payments since you are not financing the entire cost of the car. The vehicle is typically under warranty for the duration of the lease, which means you aren’t likely to get saddled with expensive repair and maintenance costs. Leasing allows you to always be behind the wheel of a newer car with the latest safety and tech features. Leasing requires less money down and there are no upfront sales taxes. You still maintain the option of buying a leased car at the end of the lease term if you wish.
