Nissan Altima 2006 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The Nissan Altima, released GCC-wide for 2005, is a roomy and practical midsize sedan, competing with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry with slightly more sporty handling and a little more extrovert styling. The Altima however sits at the top of the class in terms of available horsepower and interior room. Though the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder, with a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes, is enough for most people, it is the 3.5-litre V6, also with a choice of manual or automatic, that makes the Altima a cheap alternative to pricey and slow front-wheel-drive sports sedans from Volvo and Audi. The Altima delivers stunning acceleration when optioned with the V6, which is essentially the same engine used in the Nissan 350Z. The Altima also boasts a big interior. Standard features include power windows, tinted windshield, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power steering, a 60/40 split folding rear seat and an in-glass antenna. Also available are power mirrors, remote keyless entry with remote trunk lock, optional electric seats, cruise control, a six-speaker audio system and optional leather. ABS brakes with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist are standard, as are front airbags and alloy wheels.
