Nissan's mid-size Altima sedan looks bold with an aggressive prow with smoked headlamps and a wedge-shaped profile marked in crisp character lines. The cabin, with front bucket seats and a rear bench for three, is a plush space with chrome accents on dash and doors plus standard features like power windows and power door locks or a six-speaker audio system with AM/FM/CD.

Altima skews to multiple trims in 2006 as described by the size of two engine options. An entry model and two upgraded issues carry a dual-cam 2.5-liter in-line-four plant with 175 hp and line up as Altima 2.5, mid-grade 2.5 S and deluxe 2.5 with SL Package. Altima 3.5 SE and 3.5 SL earn Nissan's 3.5-liter V6 for 250 hp. Four new packages of gear show up in 2006 like the 2.5 Special Edition Package or a Luxury Package.
