Nissan VC-Turbo Engine

Reflecting the importance of the Altima to the Nissan brand, the company is making its largest investment ever in a new model powertrain development – introducing for the first time, two completely new engines for one model change. The new 2.0-liter VC-Turbo, which recently launched as a world&first technology in the all-new INFINITI QX50 crossover, replaces the previous-generation Altima&3.5-liter V6, offering similar performance figures while providing 4-cylinder fuel economy. It will be available on the Altima SR and Platinum front-wheel drive grades. The new 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder, which is standard on all 2019 Altima front-wheel drive and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive grade levels, utilizes more than 80% new or redesigned parts. It offers 9 additional horsepower and a fuel economy improvement versus the previous-generation 2.5-liter design. Importantly, both engines&short profile designs and low engine mountings contribute to the all-new Altima&low and wide exterior design, including the lower hood and cowl – as well as reduced levels of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). #NissanVCTurboEngine
