2014 Nissan Altima: A Great Car For Any Driver

When searching for that next daily driver to take the daily commute to work or even for driving around town running the various errands required of everyday life, many should consider a 2014 Nissan Altima to meet their needs.  The Altima has a longstanding and recognizable name which is synonymous with reliability, fuel economy, and functionality.

Because the Altima was redesigned for the 2013 model year, not much changed to this already great vehicle for the2014 model year.  Showing off with great handling, good acceleration power, and a nice fuel economy, the Altima is a great family sedan, but also gives the driver some power to add fun to the boring daily drive.

Offered in seven different trim ranges, the 2014 Nissan Altima offers a great driving experience for any family road trip, vacation, commuting to and from work, or just driving around town.  A favorite of both the soccer moms as well as the busy professionals, the Altima has a lot to offer anyone and can be equipped to please just about any driver.

Starting with the basic Altima 2.5 Sedan offering a starting price of $22,110 the Altima comes with standard features of a 2.5-liter four cylinder engine offering 182 horsepower and 27 city/38 hwy mpg.  This model of Altima is equipped with Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission), Bluetooth, advanced drive-assist display, and a tire pressure monitoring system with easy fill tire alert.

Moving up to the 2.5S model, starting at $22,630 the same engine is in place, but the standard features add to the 2.5 model with smart automatic headlights, Nissan intelligent key, 6-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and cruise control.  Not a bad package at all for only a $500 bump in the price.

Still going upward to the 2.5SV Nissan Altima for a starting price of $24,280 an owner adds to the 2.5S model by including 17” aluminum-alloy wheels, Nissan intelligent key with remote engine start system, an audio system with a five inch color display, and NissanConnect.  This package really adds the creature comforts so many drivers desire these days with the remote engine start and the audio system with large display.

At the top of the 2.5-liter engine lineup is the 2.5SL starting at $27,860.  This model still offers all the features of the 2.5SV and the same engine found on the previous three models, but adds a few more great standard features.  Added to the features list for the Nissan Altima 2.5SL model are fog lights, leather-appointed seats, and a Bose premium audio system.

Now the Altima moves into the 3.5 models starting with the 3.5S, the starting price is $26,260 but adds a 3.5-liter V6 engine offering up 270 horsepower with a still smart 22 city/31 hwy mpg.  This base model of the 3.5 offers all the same features of the 2.5S with the addition of paddle shifters with a manual mode, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and an audio system with a five inch color display.  This Altima is a sweet ride for the price, adding power to the function and fuel economy associated with the name.

Adding to the 3.5S version is the 3.5SV model starting out at $28,460 and featuring the same engine as the 3.5S.  The standard features added to the 3.5SV model are power sliding glass moonroof, fog lights, and Nissan intelligent key with remote engine start system.  All great features to add to an already impressive vehicle for just a small increase in the price.

Topping our list off at the starting price of $30,760 is the 2014 Nissan Altima 3.5SL.  This model features the same 3.5-liter V6 engine and adds to the standard features of the 3.5SV model.  The additions include high intensity discharge (HID) xenon headlights, leather-appointed seats, and a Bose premium audio system.  Any owner of this model of Altima might feel they just bought a luxury car but didn’t have to pay luxury car prices.

Is it any wonder so many drivers choose the Nissan Altima for their family vehicle and daily commuter car?  With a ton of great options and trims to choose from, there is a 2014 Nissan Altima to fit any driver.
