 What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Gulf Pony and today we are in the new 2020 Nissan Altima per your request courtesy of Faulkner Nissan in McKennaxburg PA And so I first saw this one at the New York auto show. I was there during the press event I saw it up close. It was amazing. It was a complete redesign. It looked amazing And since then I've yet to review it so therefore we are in this one today So as always you guys let's start with pricing and so there will be several different trim levels as expected for the 2020 Altima first one being S starting at $24,100 then you have the SR which is the one we have today starting at $25,700 then there is the SV for $27,880 SL for $30,240 and the Platinum starting at $32,180 and so that was all pricing for the front-wheel drive variant There is all-wheel drive available for every single trim level if you wanted to go that route that we have today actually simply add $1,350 to any of those prices and by the way that all-wheel drive setup is going to be offered only for the base engine There is an optional engine setup that is going to add $4,050 if you wanted the turbocharged engine Speaking of let's go into the power plants on the 2020 Altima here first power plan The one we have today is going to be a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine putting out 188 horsepower at 6,000 rpm 182 pound-feet of torque available at 6,000 rpm or 3600 rpm if you go with the front-wheel drive setup But either way again power sent to front wheels or all wheels through a CVT giving you a zero to 60 Approximately 7.4 seconds with MPG numbers 28 in the city 39 on the highway for the front-wheel drive 25 city 35 highway for the all-wheel drive By the way that particular engine setup does take regular unletted fuel and then there is the optional engine setup the turbocharged Version for the Altima two-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder 248 horsepower at 5,600 rpm 273 pound-feet of torque available at 4,000 rpm power only sent to the front wheels as I was previously saying Through a CVT giving you a zero to 60 approximately 6.1 seconds with MPG numbers 25 in the city 34 on the highway premium fuel is recommended for that one You can take regular fuel in the Nissan Altima with that turbocharged engine setup But we'll lose some horsepower and torque numbers if you were to do that So that is why premium fuel is recommended But having said all that did want to also mention paddle shifters that we have today. These are available. They aren't available They are standard for the SR trim levels that is going to be the one and only trim level that you are going to find paddle shifters on So having said that let's go ahead and do a quick little paddle shifter test and let's see how quickly they react for us here They do actually react pretty quick. You got to keep in the back of your mind This is a CVT, so it's kind of simulated shifting, but still quick reacting paddle shifters Although it will say with the paddle shifters I know we're just in an Altima, but the GTR does have magnesium paddle shifters wouldn't have minded that in the Altima Just like in the 370Z as well But still they're plastic paddle shifters, but it's still kind of cool that they're there But having said all that let's go ahead now and do the acceleration test And let's see how quickly we can get the 2.5 liter naturally aspirated engine setup here up to speed It's it's uh kind of slow All right, so as far as acceleration goes for the Altima Definitely probably wouldn't mind springing for the turbocharged engine setup in this thing It is kind of a larger sedan So you would expect you may need it, but I do like that this Altima offers all-wheel drive I will say that because not many of its competitors if any that I can think of maybe the super legacy But other than that the Honda Accord Toyota Camry these cars don't offer all-wheel drive So I am super happy that the Altima does but having said that kind of wish they would have paired up the all-wheel drive setup With the turbocharged engine setup as well Just so you could have the best of both worlds there because that acceleration did leave just a little bit to be desired there But so now that I am sitting on a red light and having said that braking is equally important up front You will find ventilated front discs in the back solid rear discs And that is one thing has definitely been quite nice in my test drive today. Braking feel is excellent So no issues there touching on suspension and handling a little bit There is an independent strut front suspension in the back an independent multi-link rear suspension also good there I did want to mention for the SR trim levels with the SR that we have today and the SR turbo We are going to get a sport tune suspension. So a little better handling there as well along with front and rear stabilizer bars and that's actually going to be standard for all trim levels But my short little test drive today have had no issues with the steering feel It is a little bit on the looser side, but then again, it is as expected No, we'll say the maximum of course does have a heavier weighted steering feel to it But the Altima isn't bad. No issues there ride quality has actually been excellent Definitely no issues there and I actually don't do this But I've gone over several speed bumps in my test drive today and uh Altima definitely soaked them up very nicely So impressed with the ride quality when it comes to cabin noise again No issues for me and if you wanted the very least cabin noise available with the Altima Simply go with the sv trim level enough because with those trim levels you will get acoustic laminated glass Which is really going to absorb a lot of those exterior sounds while driving on the highway things like that But but then touching on visibility. This is one of the definite strong suits of the Altima I could see perfectly fine out the back. So Excellent visibility when it comes to the Nissan Altima But of course now having touched on the exterior at the beginning of the video Let's go ahead and make our way to the exterior because as I was previously saying This recent redesign of the Nissan Altima definitely looks good So let's go ahead and make our way to the front of this one. All right So now touching on the exterior of the 2020 Nissan Altima up front You will find Nissan signature front grille with active grille shutters actually located Behind that front grille kind of to assist with engine cooling if it's needed Also dark chrome accents are going to be found with the SR trim level That is going to be just regular chrome for every other trim level though But that is of course what you're looking at right now and then to the sides when it comes to the headlights There will be halogen projector headlights for the S trim level However, if you went with the SR trim level and up you're going to find led headlights So that is definitely pretty cool. Definitely a safety feature in itself at night Just below that led fog lights are going to come with the sv trim level and up So that is of course going to be down there as well and overall again with the redesign The Nissan Altima definitely looks very menacing very aggressive Up front comparatively speaking to the old body design, of course, but now let's make our way to the side One of the first things I noticed is there is a ever so slight overhang with the uh The hood and the front fender there. That is one of the Interesting things I noticed at the new york auto show when I first saw this one But kind of a design cue, I believe at least I think that is what it is there for but either way It doesn't affect functionality at all. It's just something a little bit different. It different is usually a good thing But also around the back, of course, you're going to have that floating roof line as Often found with Nissan's designs on their vehicles But chrome belt line molding can be found on the bottom part of the windows there Again, a nice little design cue when it comes to the side mirrors There will be body colored side mirrors that will come standard However, if you went with one of the SR trim levels, you will get black side mirrors Of course, that is what you are looking at right now And they will actually come heated with led integrated turd signals if you want with the sv trim level and up They're taking a look down at the wheel design 16 inch steel wheels with covers are going to come with the s trim level However, if you want with the sv or sl you're going to find 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels And lastly the sr and platinum are going to give you 19 inch aluminum alloy wheels And that of course is what you're looking at right now But now let's go ahead and make our way to the back of the ultimate you guys have noticed I'm sure there is no gas tank on the passenger side It is located on the driver side for anyone curious Trim level badging can be found in the back as expected again showing off that we have the sr trim level the sportier version No led tail lights are going to be available on the ultima So I guess that is one of the downsides although I will say the tail light design does look good Kind of wish they would have had leds at least offered on the platinum trim level or one of the higher ones At very minimum, but do also like the chrome accent here on the rear bumper. That's kind of cool It's kind of like a a scuff plate for your rear bumper I guess you could say when you're loading and unloading stuff in there But just below it all rear diffuser you guys are looking at right now Into the sides of that you are going to find a single exhaust outlet with s trim level However, all other trim levels not just the sr that we have today Every single other trim level is going to give you dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips So guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip It's open now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear trunk There actually is a button on key fob So simply just press that I feel like also from the driver seat There is a button just by the driver's left knee another way you can open up the trunk back there But once opened up cargo capacity is going to come in at 15.4 cubic feet If that was not enough space for you, there's rear seats do fold down There is a 60 40 split for every single trim level Give me a good bit of extra space there if you needed it Then make our way up to the rear leg room that is going to come in at 35.2 inches So for reference, I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there Did what I also mentioned for those rear passengers There is a rear center armrest with cup holders for them for a little added comfort Although it was surprised to find there is no rear ventilation at least in the sr trim level that we have today So it was kind of interesting but making your way up to the front seats Cloth seating will come standard with the s and sv trim levels Leatherette surfaces are going to come with the sr That is what of course you are looking at right now And there will be full leather seating if you go with the sl trim level and up Heated front seats if you wanted them go with the sv trim level and up And all trims are actually going to give you an eight-way power adjustable driver seat And if you wanted that power adjustable passenger seat for your passenger go with the sl trim level enough But overall I will say in my short driving stint today the seats are quite comfortable So I wouldn't see any issues with taking the ultimate on a long road trip if you wanted to go that route But taking a look at the steering wheel. This is one of the cool things about this one There is a tilt and telescoping steering wheel. It will come heated for the sv trim level and up Leather wrapped for the sr trim level and up did what I also mentioned There is a flat bottom here with the sr trim level. So that is the cool part I'm absolutely loving the flat bottom steering wheel here in the ultimate Nonetheless, let's go ahead and get to the startup Let me first start by showing you guys the key here Everything that you need is actually located on one side of the key fob You do have lock unlock that button to pop the rear hatch and that little circular button at the very top there That is going to be a remote start, which is going to come standard actually on every single trim level of the ultimate That's definitely a plus and also to go along with that every single trim level will also give you a push button start That little button is located just in front of the shifter there. So it's actually how I'm going to start this one up here All I'm going to do is simply put my foot on the brake and press that and just start button there It's up in that once started up tachometers on your left speedometers on your right There is a digital display front and center a fairly large digital display at that actually It's going to tell you things like the outside temperature How many miles do you have left until you hit empty? But also there are steering wheel mounting controls on the left side of the steering wheel There's a ton of different things you can scroll through like your radio settings There's some safety features you can check out up there digital speedometer if you wanted it average fuel economy There's just a ton of different things you could check out there But touching on overall interior quality dual zoom climate control comes standard for the sv trim level enough Power moonroof is going to come with the sv and up once again And that is actually available for the sr. Although we don't have it today But it is available for the sr trim level there Interior accent lighting is going to come with the platinum that of course is the top trim level there Piano black interior trim is going to come with the sv platinum and sl trim levels There's going to be a wood tone trim if you go with the platinum as well And as far as our sr trim level today looking around the interior I do love the orange contrast stitching that can be found just above the passenger side glove box As well as on the doors and the seats of course as well But there also is some aluminum trim in the front here as well as some carbon fiber look On the doors as well, but overall I guess you could say a very sporty interior There's some usb hookups as well as a phone charger auxiliary outlet 12 volt power outlet just in front of the shifter there There's a couple cup holders and by the way, these two cup holders next to the shifter Are surrounded in that carbon fiber look trim once again Also electronic parking brake That was the first thing I was greeted with before I took off I kind of got to get used to that I guess and just behind that there is a decent size little cubby area with a Little tray up there as well So overall a very sporty and very functional interior for the Nissan ultima But let's check out the tech display now up front You're going to find an eight inch color touchscreen display actually for every single trim level across the board Well done Nissan there Bluetooth and audio streaming will come standard as well as android auto and apple carplay once again Well done Nissan for that and you can also of course check out your radio settings up on that display By the way sound system wise you will get six speakers for the s sr and sv trim levels However, if you want with the sl or platinum, you're going to get a nine speaker bow sound system But since we do have the sr today, we do have the six speaker sound system So let's go ahead and turn on the radio. Let's see what we got playing this morning and Let's test out the clarity of this one Quite honestly, I've heard a lot of six speaker sound systems That one has a decent amount of bass for a six speaker sound system. I love bow sound systems I had them in my old infinity loved it never had any issues So definitely a solid pick there too, but the six speaker sound system kind of impressed with the bass there So not a bad option Last thing on the tech display I wanted to mention to you guys is when you go ahead and put the Nissan ultima in reverse You will find a rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you for every single trim level Which is always is going to lead us into safety And so particularly with the Nissan ultima first thing I wanted to mention is a very plus side of the ultimate IIHS top safety pick So that is always going to be a benefit of course keeping you safe Front side and side curtain airbags will come standard as well as driver and passenger knee airbags That typically doesn't come standard on most vehicles out there in the back You're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats Also standard attire pressure monitoring system as expected But also standard on trim level some of the cool safety features forward collision warning automatic emergency braking Driver attention monitor. So it's going to kind of monitor your driving habits and alert you if it feels like you're starting to get drowsy SR trim level enough that we have today is also going to add automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection lane departure warning Blind spot warning system with rear cross traffic alert And that's going to be the little yellow light kind of in the corners of the interior here That's going to alert you that way also rear parking distance warning rear automatic braking high beam assist And lastly the sv trim level enough is also going to add adaptive cruise control and so that is about it for this one You guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and subscribe If you're into new car reviews, that is what we do here on this channel But feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen and I will see you guys in the next review Stay gold
