Midway Nissan

Midway Nissan is excited to be the premier source for the Nissan Altima in Phoenix.  Midway Nissan is an Arizona Nissan dealership and carries a large inventory of new Nissan Altima cars  and top quality, high value used Nissan Altimas and other cars & trucks.

The Nissan Altima was introduced in the USA in 1992 as the 1993 Altima.  The Altima's predecessor was the sporty Nissan Stanza.  Altima sedans are manufactured in Smyrna, Tennessee and Canton, Mississippi. The first generation Altima was originally based on the Nissan Bluebird, but its design and styling had always been done in California studios. From the beginning the Altima, like other Nissan cars, was quick and sporty. The 1993 Altima featured a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine and raced from 0 to 60 in just 10.4 seconds. The Altima contained a 4-speed manual transmission and a firm suspension, using struts and stabilizer bars. Though classified as a compact sedan, the great-handling early Altima Sedan seated four adults comfortably. The '93 Altima trim levels included the XE, the GXE, the SE and the GLE.

The Altima underwent many transformations in 1998, 2002, and 2007, with a major change in 2010. In 2002, fifty automotive journalists at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit called the Nissan Altima  the "North American Car of the Year". The 2008 Altima Coupe debuted in  2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show - the first-ever two-door Altima.  The economical Altima Hybrid was presented to Midway Nisan in 2007. Its technology was  based on the Toyota hybrid. Nissan's hybrid cars now benefit from the brilliant work of Nissan's power train engineers, generally regarded as the best in the world.

Today, Midway Nissan in Phoenix offers the Nissan Altima  in three basic trim levels - the Altima 2.5, the Altima 2.5 S, and the Altima 3.5 SR.  The Altima 2.5 is the most affordable of the three, with a price starting at just $19,999.  The Altima 2.5 S adds excellent features including the Nissan Intelligent Key, an advanced audio system with auxiliary input and numerous interior convenience features. The Altima 3.5 SR adds the VQ35DE -  a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6  with 270 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.  The Nissan Altima at Midway Nissan in Phoenix is  not only affordable, but sporty and reliable as well!

When Phoenix car shoppers compare the Nissan Altima to other makes like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or the Chevy Malibu, the 2011 Nissan Altima is clearly the most fun-to-drive.  Starting with the 2009 Nissan Altima, owners found this affordable mid-size car's sharp handling and quick acceleration  reason enough to choose Altima. The 2010 Nissan Altima has standard electronic stability control, placing the Altima at the pinnacle of industry safety ratings.

When deciding on a safe, affordable, sleek mid-size family sedan, Phoenix car buyers should head to the Nissan dealer of choice, Midway Nissan at 2209 West Bell Rd in Phoenix AZ .
