Nissan Altima

Automobiles

The Nissan Altima is a mid-size sedan that Nissan introduced for the North American market in 1992, positioned between the smaller Sentra and the larger Maxima in the company's lineup. Built across several generations for buyers seeking a roomier family car than the Sentra without the higher price of the Maxima, it became one of Nissan's core sedans in the United States and a consistent competitor to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
