Aerodynamics. We built the all-new 2013
Nissan Altima to slip through the air with more ease and less resistance
than ever because frankly, drag is a drag.
Next Generation Xtronic CVT® According to the old
school of thought, to improve performance, you just keep adding gears.
CVT virtually eliminates them by using a single metal belt that runs
around a pair of variable-diameter pulleys. Once a transmission isn't
limited by fixed gears, it can operate far more effectively. So whatever
your right foot asks for, CVT responds with the perfect engine speed.
PUREDRIVE™ Altima wears the PUREDRIVE™ badge, meaning it meets or exceeds the Federal CAFE fuel economy standards for 2016, reflecting our commitment to continue developing environmentally friendly technology for all.
Weight Reduction. To create the all-new 2013 Nissan
Altima's outstanding fuel economy, we put it on a diet. Using ultra-high
strength steel and aluminum, we were able to significantly reduce its
weight. Then we lightened the engine, and improved overall aerodynamics.
The result - heavyweight performance and fuel economy in a lightweight
package.
