The Altima coupe is the sportiest of the three models in the midsized Altima family. For the current model year, Nissan and added a new front fascia that borrows style queues from the more expensive Maxima sedan.

A new hood, grille and front bumper are joined by a handful of new colors for this model year. Inside, the coupe gets new upholstery and some revised interior materials and options.

Nissan's Vehicle Dynamic Control -- a stability control system -- is newly standard across the line for the current model year. Previously, it was a $600 stand-alone option on certain high trim level models.

The top-end 3.5 SE model has been given a new 3.5 SR moniker, although there are no notable mechanical revisions for the new model year.

The 3.5-liter 24-valve DOHC V6 is the "next generation" version of the VQ-series V6 offering 270 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Also available with the new Altima Coupe is a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve QR25 inline 4-cylinder, producing 175 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque.

Customers can chose between a CVT transmission and a 6-speed manual.

Altima Coupe models with the four-cylinder engine are equipped with 16-inch wheels and tires, while V6-equipped Altima Coupes come with unique-design 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and 215/55R17 tires. All Altima Coupes also come equipped with standard 4-wheel, 4-channel, 4-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD).

The list of Altima Coupe passenger amenities includes standard Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and available Bose-developed audio system with nine speakers, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, satellite radio and dual-zone automatic temperature control.

Also available is a next-generation Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with 6.5-inch VGA color touch-screen display (replaces the 4.3-inch display), 9.3GB Music Box for music storage and playback, advanced map data including speed limit advisories, Zagat restaurant guide, XM NavTraffic and XM NavWeather, Bluetooth Streaming Audio, DVD player and an RCA input for auxiliary audio/video connectivity.

The new Altima Coupe also comes equipped with a number of standard safety features, including Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones and Advanced Air Bag System (AABS), which includes dual-stage front supplemental air bags.

Also standard are front seat side-impact supplemental air bags for chest protection and roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags for front and rear outboard occupant head protection.

The Altima Coupe will continue to be offered in base 2.5 S trim, commanding about a $2,500 premium over a comparably equipped Altima sedan. Add another $500 for the optional CVT. Altima Coupe 3.5 SR variants start under $30,000 for the CVT, and just over $30,000 for the six-speed manual model, which also adds larger diameter wheels and tires.

Key competitors
Aside from the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, not many automakers offer two-door variants of their midsize sedans, making the Altima Coupe a bit unique - but it still faces plenty of competition from traditional coupes like the Ford Mustang or Mustang GT, along with the Nizzan 370Z, Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Camaro SS.
