Due to its strong sales record in just three years after it was introduced, Nissan decided to introduce its new model of the Altima. The 1995 Nissan Altima was branded by Nissan as an "affordable luxury". It offers much luxury at a price more affordable than most of the sedans of its competitors

 

The 1995 Nissan Altima is available in four trim levels: XE, GXE, SE, and GLE. The 5-speed manual transmission is standard for the XE, GXE, and SE models. The GLE, on the other hand, has a standard 4-speed automatic transmission. The 4-speed automatic transmission is also available as an option for the XE, GXE, and XE. The Altima is noted for its superior driving quality. It was engineered to have excellent handling traits that could be appreciated by drivers, old and new alike. Aside from power steering, it has what its engineers would call "Super Toe control" rear suspension that maintains optimum rear tire alignment during driving maneuvers.

 

Although not as spacious as the mid-size sedans of the competitors, it has a lot of luxury to offer. The luxurious interior features includes tilt steering wheel, rear defroster, cupholders, lockable glove box, dual visor vanity mirrors, cut-pile carpeting, adjustable headrests, and remote releases for trunk, hood and fuel filter door. A variety of sound systems are also available for greater comfort.

 

The exterior of the Altima is just as luxurious as its interiors. For its 1995 model, new grille, taillamps, badging and five new colors are added.

 

Aside from its not-so-spacious interior, another disadvantage of the Altima, or advantage if you are for fuel economy, is its 2.4 liter 16 valve four cylinder engine. It lacks the smoothness, verve and performance of other sedans that uses the V6 engine. On the other hand, its engine offers good low speed torque. It is also an advantage for people who are so conscious of fuel economy.
