'06 Nissan Altima

One of the biggest feats of the 2006 Nissan Altima has been to continue to be in the list of top selling vehicles manufactured by Nissan. The 2006 model year does not need too many changes since the previous model year and is based on the slightly more expensive vehicle Maxima, also manufactured by Nissan.

The powertrain of the 2006 Altima still provides two options for the engine – an Inline-4 versus a V6. The I-4 engine provides a moderate horsepower of 175hp, while the V6 engines provide 250 horsepower in other models and 260 horsepower in the SE-R trim level. Both manual and automatic modes of transmission are available.

A number of features contribute to the immense success of the 2006 Nissan Altima. These include the ABS, multiple airbags for safety and an optional traction control mechanism for stability. The sportier SE-R has an improved external trim for better aerodynamics at high velocities.
