6 Impressive Features of the 2013 Nissan Altima

2013 Nissan Altima
The newest addition to the Sims Auto Park lot

1. Fuel Economy (MPG): 38 Highway 27 City
    With gas prices jumping higher and higher by the end of each day, who wouldn't love to get more out of the $60+ that's being spent to fill their tank? This increasing cost of gas is unavoidable, but having a vehicle with an efficient fuel economy makes the reach for your wallet less painful. Autoblog.com even states that the 2013 Altima is "...the best four-cylinder fuel economy of any midsize sedan, and that's without the use of any electric motors, turbochargers or even direct injection".

2. Nissan Intelligent Key 
    The Nissan Intelligent Key is an incredibly handy technological advancement in the realm of convenience. A small fob, which acts as a sensor, is all that you need to start your car...well, opposable thumbs also help. As long as you have this little device with you, your car is able to start with just a foot on the brake and the push of a button. Pretty neat, right?

3. Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System
    This is a fantastic tool for safe driving, especially for young drivers who can't stand to be out of touch for even a moment. With the Bluetooth Hands-Free phone system, the controls for your phone's music player are located on the steering wheel- literally at your fingertips. This device also allows you to make phone calls without even touching your cell phone; letting you devote your focus to the road rather than a keypad.

4. Advanced Drive-Assist Display
    Nissan summarizes it best, stating that the Advanced Drive-Assist Display "brings relevant information closer to eye level keeping your eyes on the road". This type of information ranges from navigation directions to incoming phone calls. The 4 inch LCD screen is located right on the dashboard behind the steering wheel, making distractions less distracting.

5. Xtronic CVT
    This attribute is one that will really appeal to all of the auto fanatics out there. The Xtronic CVT (CVT meaning continuous variable transmission) reduces friction by up to 40%, giving the driver a much smoother ride. Not to mention providing the vehicle with improved acceleration and fuel economy.

6. UV-Reducing Solar Glass
     Pretty self-explanatory. The windows of the new Altima are manufactured with glass that is able to shield passengers from harmful UV rays. USATODAY.com has an interesting article with statistics that correlate time spent in the car to the development skin cancer on the left side of the body.
