What Changed

The Altima is all-new for 2007. Altima switches to a new FWD "D" segment platform. Engine choices include a 165 hp 4-cylinder and a 265 hp V6. A new six-speed manual will be offered with both engines. A CVT transmission will be offered in lieu of a standard automatic transmission. A gas/electric hybrid model will be added later in the model year.
