Although buyers in America are more interested in crossovers these days, it didn't stop #Nissan from introducing the most heavily updated #Altima ever. Riding on an all-new platform, sporting 2 new engines, this 2019 Nissan Altima VC-T sports a segment first, variable compression turbocharged 4-cylinder engine which replaces the old V6 in the lineup. Fuel economy has improved significantly as a result and Nissan didn't stop there with the first-ever application of AWD to a Nissan sedan, although it is currently limited to the base 2.5L engine. The new Altima is the most stylish one that Nissan has ever produced with a lower, wider, and sleeker body lines. Will the changes be enough to sway buyers away from Accord and Camry? - Авто та транспорт
"And when you shut the door .......... it sounds relatively solid"
Sofiyan I swear you say this in every. single. video. no matter what. And I patiently await for it in every video. lol
I always skip to that part.
Not every car though
😂 me too.
Armando Sturzenegger I'm dying of laughter 😂
What would be the car to have a weak shutting door? Stay tunned for the next episode...😂😂😂😂😂
Sofyan the type of guy that gets a new set of key for his house every 3 years
Let me Guess "looks like a Datson"
Armando Sturzenegger 😂😂😂😂😂
F L that would be be me lmfao
Please leave this with Doug.
Daver G you’re funny
Only 3 things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Nissan using the same key fob since 1978

Dude you do an awesome job on details on specs, features, and full blown detail on a vehicle 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
A Redline review on a Friday, damn that just made my day.
This had to be the best damn car review I've ever seen. I just today looked at these while the dealers were closed (Sunday) and was torn between the 18 and 19 models. I plan to test drive both but you helped with a lot of questions I had before spending hours at the dealership getting the run around. Thank you for this video.
I came here after I bought one today!
My uncle has had a 2019 Altima for almost 5 years. He has the top trim level. He has drove so much with it and it hasn’t gave him any problems. He’s older so he takes care of it. My favorite thing about his Altima is at night time when you open the door, there are leds that come on under the skid plate. I compliment him about it everytime I see it! Awesome car in my opinion
I rarely ever see high trim level Altima's. I always see base model Altima's driven by high school/college students.
Thots*
Tbh Altima and Corolla was like half my high schools rides lol
@@sgtjohn4321 Can’t forget the Civics lol
Funny, I drive a regular S model but I always notice SV and SL trims more than other S models.
@@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd I notice a lot of SV trims. SV trims are definitely more popular than SL trims, but i don't see Platinum's that often.
I'm really digging the updated styling (both inside and outside). It looks a lot less dated now. It'll definitely continue to sell well! Can't wait to review one myself.
A platinum trim with no led brake lights or turn signals.... bruh
Looks really cheaped out.
fj717 100%
All other cars in this class offer LED option or standard....
Deal breaker
No led lights inside, no cooled seats, no wireless charger.. they fell behind this year
kais295 it’s this is a platinum trim and this shit is lacking in so much
The interior really does look like the one found in Accord. Like damn spot on
I love how INFINITI gets none of this technology...
I'm loving this thing .. loving the AWD, design, and MPG. Really hope to pick this up soon.
Only here to hear the door close ...
Hennessy * sounds very solid
Nice and solid, typical
Relatively solid
NICE AND SOLID xD
nice thunk.
I’m keeping my 2012 Altima Coupe... fully loaded. Runs like a dream and it’s paid for... Super Black with red leather upholstery and not a scratch on it.
So cool to see my exact car in a review. I’ve had it a year and have yet to come across another Edition One here in Tx.
I’m so mad because it actually do has sports mode and nobody is getting the full power
That key fob is over 10 years old lol
Classix no it's not it's a 2019 key
That was my point.
It's the same key fob on the GT-R. It's old but at least it's small.
It's not bad fob i'm just saying after 10 years they should replace it.
@@classix848 Oh I know, I agree.
There’s nothin platinum about this platinum trim
Damn you just said something. It doesn't look premium enough to be called platinum
@Armando Sturzenegger but there is no red leather lol
Nothing! That interior looks similar to the 2012 3.5 SR... basic AF!
I wonder what the SL must look like...
@@shwnc4842 it looks the same except there will be soft touch material between the screen and the HVAC vents. The only difference between SL and Platinum are 360 degree camera, 2 person memory seats, and standard interior ambient lighting. The price speaks for the car. Theres a less than $2K difference between the Platinum and the SL I believe. I do think however, that this should change and the platinum should be better substantially, even if it makes the car a little less affordable. My main problem with the Altima is that it still doesn't use a lot of simple luxuries that a lot of other companies have adopted and have been using for quite a while. I wish they'd put a sensor behind the door handle instead of requiring the button to get inside. I wish they had full LEDs (including interior) available on at least the SL trim... ventilated seats while not yet standard across the class , still could've probably made it unto the third best selling sedan in the U.S. and finally the lack of the panoramic roof top is most upsetting, as this alone would have been a massive plus for this car's overall look. It's definitely the best looking sedan from japan on the outside... but mazda spanks them as well as everybody else on the interior and Toyota beats it in sportiness. AWD and the appearance of the sedan are literally the ONLY things that Nissan has over everybody else... will that be enough? 2019 sales numbers will see
Redline Reviews always has the best video.
Nissan has so much better future without CVT. Crazy persistence...
They're not going away. You'll see more and more CVTs as years go on.
I have altima 2018 since 9 months the CVT is great
@@user-xc8dy8se6h until it needs service
@@garzdiva ours is still good 2017 and going on 2020 here soon not 1 thing gone wrong yet
Bro 2008 altima on 100000 miles plus. Basic service and common sense will go a long way before the cvt gives up.
The Unholy Trinity of Unreliability: CVT, Turbo, Direct Injection.
u forgot VC
If you're going to get some unreliable POS, at least make sure it's German or Italian. BIG fail by Nissan and INFINITI too for using junk CVTs in their products. Sad.
It's multi-port injection, only the new 2.5 is DI. Also, nothing wrong with CVTs after 2010ish.
@Z Ford and Toyota are the only companies that I would buy direct injection from. They have solved the problem.
Michael Cline so is the h. Accord, Subaru.
The engine sounds like a vacuum cleaner 😂
Sm More OMG IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE HAHAHA
Just like the GTR lol
It actually sounds really good, sounds way better than your turbo four. It has an aggressive tune..makes me think of Alfa Romeo
Not as bad as other CVT cars though.
oh my god.🤔
Man if this car didn't have a CVT, it would be 🔥🔥🔥
yeah, that's the only thing that worries me about it
Winter in Quebec is killing my 2014 Altima CVT. That low temperature protection is killing me.
Jacki L hey Jacki I’m in mtl , Altima 2013-2014 are considered lemons, you should sell it before problems start with the transmission
@@theroots450 I bought 3-years powertrain warranty, hope it would be wrong so I can have a new CVT. 3 years later, gonna buy another car.
Jacki L
Make sure there isn’t a loophole they can use to get out of repairing your vehicle if something does go wrong.
CVT transmissions can’t be repaired, they can only be replaced, and for a price of $6k, I wouldn’t mess around
i left after i heard the door shut. Thats all i need to know about a car. Thanks again for a great door shutting review man, this is why you're the best reviewer out there.
Watch out Camry and Accord? Not a Chance other than rental lots.
Nexus Hexus it’s camry* why do people spell it wrong
@@navi_exl Some how it auto corrected.
Blacks people love the Altima. It’s the niggas choice of car that they can afford with a 10 year loan.
Why can't Nissan offer a manual on this car?
why do u need a manual with a lawn mower size engine
I can’t believe they didn’t give it LED tail lights, pretty sure it’s the only car in class to not offer them on any trim.
I like how redline focus on the lower model cars and not just the Bentley and Mercedes rose royce etc etc
Looks so good and its very well equipped for an Altima.
I have a 2018 Nissan Maxima and it's almost identical to the new Altima. Of course there are a few styling changes, tech updates, and let's not forget about the trade-off in horsepower for fuel efficiency in the Altima. Also, I personally prefer the CVT transmission due to improved fuel economy and smoother driving, which is a common goal for family sedan buyers.
How is the maxima treating yu?
CVTs are a deal breaker. If only nissan put their 7 speed automatic or the 6 speed manual in all their cars which is a huge improvement.
Then you might as well avoid the lower trim Accord since their transmission is a CVT.
Indeed. The Camry is the better choice if sticking with base trim. Higher trim I'd go for the Accord, Camry, Mazda, and the Altima in that order.
@@oldtwinsna8347 true only Toyota Corolla has the CVT
The Nissan Titan, Armada, 350Z, 370Z, and GTR are the only Nissan's without a CVT
@@Datsun7705 don't forget Frontier.
I drive Maxima 3 years .love it
perfect trying to find a good first car I think i found it affordable, reliable, sporty and nice interior
I wish automakers would listen when we say stop downsizing the engines.
Well then stop voting for politicians that push for policies that make automakers do this
@@antholito dude there are carmakers that are offering multiple engine choices with a V6 or higher horse powered variant for carmakers to not come up with something.
@@tjhouston1280 I mean yeah that's fair, but the overall push for smaller and more economical engines however does come from political pressure
@@antholito exactly!! But it’ll go in one ear and out the other🤦♂️. And it’s not even based on actual science & engineering, politicians are pushing for these ridiculous mandates that makes automakers try and squeeze as much fuel mileage from engines using high tech technology that can fail over time.
Right... who cares about the environment. Gotta compensate for for other things... give us our big block engines.
The delay is not just lag, it's the engine changing compression ratios. Takes over a full second to go from 14:1 to 8:1
You do a great job, well done
This dude is spot on with information 👍
Maybe the key fob is old, but it gets the job done and have some really cool functionality.
You can't forget your key in the car even if you want to, even in the trunk it will detect it and reopen/unlock it. ( I would have been screwed 2-3 times over the years without this)
When you bring the car to a garage you just have to unclick the fob from the key set.
Same with party, put the fob in your side pocket and let that bulky key set in the car.
You can start the car with the key in your pocket.
When it's cold you can leave the car running, lock it and go buy a coffee.
It's easy to spit on it, but I see a lot of car still have traditional key.
beautiful Altima Nissan 2019.
New Jersey Puerto Ricans will love this
The beat in the beginning... dope
Camry/Accord needs to worry? Only if Nissan build good transmissions.
HA! People said this about the 6th generation Sonata; the current gen Mazda6; and the 3rd generation Altima (which did step up its game and sales quite a bit) but Camry and Accord have remained the 1 - 2 punch, respectively, in this segment for the last two decades. Even in the face of declining sedan sales, they remain strong. No reason to think the Altima will dethrone either, unless there are more rental car companies opening up in the near future.
Shots fired
Like the steering wheel. That's about it!
You do a wonderful review
Good review & great Altima.
Nissan’s cost cutting is too obvious. The absence of led lighting, hard plastics, recycled gauges, keyfob, and switch gear are a disappointment. I guess they’re targeting fleet/rental sales.
Amen, which is one reason I will never buy another Nissan.
They are just cheap. Even the base level Maxima @ $34,000 doesn't even come with side mirror indicator turn signal lights, and has Halogen headlights.......
My personal favorite is the 4WD indicator on the Versa Note's tachometer. They clearly ripped it from the Pathfinder
Or the fake wood in acura... ooops wrong post.
Dan Jackson lol
Exactly my Sentra got led wtf
I see people in the comment section complaining about the key FOB being same the for the past 10 years. Yet, Sony’s PlayStation’s controller hardly changed that much since PS1 🤷🏻♂️ Why? Because there’s no need to and people prefer it to be the same design if it works right.
Ooohh snap you just checked them hard. But you're so right similar situation with iPhone. They all still have the same basics since day1 nothing revolutionary that I've seen yet🤷🏽♂️but people run and go pay over $1000+ for the latest model😒
jose060789 not really the PS4 added the touchpad with Bluetooth connection. If it was like Nissan it would have a old style connection.
@@superfuzycat1 Ok and? The PS4 still has the exact same design as the PS1 aside from the touchpad.
Sofyan had big Altima energy in this
I rent one for going from SF to SD. I made 90mph for the whole trip and still make 40mpg. Excellent VC turbo engine. Very fast and torquey, especially while accelerate at 60, which nissans are really good at.
Great video. Really shows the inside and out of this car. However, the buyers that look for cars like this, don’t care about the little things. We look for them as enthusiasts but half the buyers don’t even know what compression ratio is they just want good gas mileage. I love the key fob on Nissan/Infiniti, they are suppose to fit in your pocket or bag where its never seen so i think people could careless about them. And sense these are new cars, the transmissions haven’t figured out shift or rev points yet so that might be why the throttle response is weird, but like it was stated, if you want a sportier car look at Infiniti. What I would about keep in mind is, things that were “left out” are sometimes not included on purpose to keep economy and premium separate. I know that if I buy an Infiniti and it came with the same engine, as a Nissan, why should I spend 50k when the car for 30k has everything. Heated and cooled seats should come standard buuut I understand how that can be considered premium like auto windows is a premium feature. Keep in mind Mazda doesn’t have a premium brand so they can add things because they don’t have a premium brand to worry about, that is why they have LED headlights and interior light and heated and cooled seats. But this is a great video I always look forward to watching them
I just leased a 2019 Altima SL Platinum (my 5th Altima, and 7th Nissan overall). This is my least favorite Altima ever (I've leased a 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2015 previously, with the 2013 being my favorite car ever).
I'll start with the good -
1. there are no packages on the SL model; it's all included. The technology package, plus a few extra features.
2. compact disc functionality is gone.
3. Navigation automatically displays what street you're on, if you choose that display (I like to leave the display on which direction my car is going, so I also get street display).
And the bad (I get that most people will disagree with me; these are just preferences).
1. Beige leather interior is no longer offered. I settled for the light gray interior, and honestly, it looks like a rental car. The off-color stitching looks cheap (see 7:46), the dashboard material looks cheap - like something you would get in a rental car. The interior is very dark, and I really, really loved the black exterior, with the beige leather interior - I thought it looks really classy, and light. Also, there is way more nooks and crannies all over the dash, making it a pain to clean.
2. The seats are smaller. Much smaller - maybe 2 inches narrower, and at least an inch less depth. Also, the seat doesn't go down as far as it used to. I'm only 5'4" and my head is about 5 inches from the roof. I feel like I'm sitting on a folding chair; no longer surrounded by those soft, comfy seats of the 2013 and 2015 models.
3. the steering wheel is smaller, which feels weird when turning, or pulling into a parking space, or pulling out of a parking space. Also, when I rest my elbow on the door, my fingers barely touch the steering wheel.
Also note at 8:14 the new steering wheel controls - they are all flat, so it makes if difficult to turn the volume up/down, or to dismiss notifications, or to to skip songs, etc. without taking your eyes off the road. I have to look down every time. In the 2013 and 2015 models, there was a lever that you could feel for without taking your eyes off the road. I really miss that. Same goes for cruise control - all the buttons are flat.
4. Less visibility all around. One of the first things I noticed as I drove the car off the lot was less visibility through the windows. Less window space compared to the 2013 and 2015 models . The back window seems shorter. When looking over your right shoulder to see if there is a car out the back passenger side window - that is now a bigger blind spot. But, I think the worst visibility issue is the front window - there is now a camera on the opposite side of the rearview mirror (you can this for a second at 5:57 - see how much window space that camera takes up? Decreases visibility when you look out the front window to your right).
5. too much clutter on the view screen. You can see what I'm talking about at 6:58. This is the display I use as well. Note, the time is displayed here - and it's also displayed on the floating screen to your left. Two time displays! It drives me nuts.
6. Entertainment system presets - if you want to change the channel, you have to use the touchscreen - which means you have to look at the touch screen every time you want to change the channel - you can't feel for the buttons. This means you have to take your eyes of the road every time. I don't think they thought this through.
7. The Camera - might be the most disappointing change. Look at the video at 9:08 - that is the default view. you can press the "camera" button 2 more times to get the standard, full screen view that you get in the 2013 and 2015 models - but you have to press the button twice EVERY TIME YOU PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. Every time. I've had this car for 17 days and I've already stopped looking at the camera when I back up.
8 At 9:48 you can see the settings - this is where you need to go to turn off data collection. It's defaulted to "on" and and various data is sent to Nissan. I've turned this off once already, and noticed it was back on today.
9. the heated seats don't seem to get as warm as in previous models. Heated steering wheel seems to get a little warmer than previous models.
10. Why would you put an electronic parking break lever on the consul? Who uses it that much, that it needs to take up prime real estate?
I wish Nissan conducted Usability with loyal customers, or even a focus group, or feedback session. I'm not sure they thought this one through. I don't know. I have a feeling I will be in the minority with this. Also - I hate those LED headlights. They are blinding.
Thanks for letting me vent. I love Nissan, and I am just really, really disappointed. I should have bought my 2013 Altima 2.5 SL. It was the perfect car.
Julie Harden i recently bought a 19 as well. (1)The rear back up camera has a 1 second delay. Its not as accurate as the 2013. When i go in reverse it off by 1-2 seconds. This little mix up can cause someone to run into something. (2)The heated seats doesnt get all the way warm like the 2013. (3) the touchscreen infotainment system is HIGHLY fingerprint prone. (4) i have to press the remote start like 3 times before the car actually starts (5) sometimes the electronic brake comes on automatically
@@martezblade I get it - the heated seats are definitely not as warm as the 2013. And thanks for the info on the camera - I was wondering why the picture seemed off. I don't even really use it any longer because I don't like the split screen, and it's a pain to keep having to change it to the normal display.
And those fingerprints do not come off easily - it takes longer to clean the car over all. So many crevices everywhere.
Julie Harden I think I just read one of the most thorough and detailed automotive owner’s reviews that I’ve ever encountered in my life.
mybro727 she should start her own car review channel. It is really detailed and well-said
Question...why did you lease it then? You test drove it right? I know some things you don’t notice till you have for awhile but seat comfort, camera, hard plastics etc are all things you would notice in test drive.
I know they’re halogen, but the candy glass like tale lights on the Altima and Maxima just look so handsome to me!
This still a good first car for me to buy one.
Cvt transmissions are gonna be the death of Nissan.
James Day agreed.
That's what killed my Altima
CVT IS TRASH ON ALL CARS EVEN HONDA
Also Toyota Corolla!!
Well nissan is selling more cars than ever with the cvt. Follow the money. And besides CVT are constantly improving and toyota makes good CVT.
Don’t see a point in wanting wireless charging pads when Apple car play requires your phone to be plugged in anyways for it to work 🤷🏻♀️
Apple sucks.
Samsung 😂😂
Kylie Bryant you do realize that apple does have wireless charging right ?
Ford F-1504by4 yes I have an iPhone. But in order to use car play, your phone has to be plugged into the designated USB port for it to work. Thus, charging your phone and not really needing wireless charging. Unless you don’t wanna use car play. That’s all.
Kylie Bryant My Apple car play works Via Bluetooth 🤷🏼♀️ Never have to plug it in.
I have a 2016 altima got 42 mpg across country, great car like pretty much everything about it would definitely buy another one, the turbo I think would be a great option.
great video!
2005 Nissan Altima SE-R. Best Altima ever.
I would agreed...but the ignition coil problems that plague that model..smh...
Followed by the Altima coupe
2001 altima was the best one
Nah, any model year before 2001 is legit bulletproof, since Renault bought out Nissan in 2001 and brought the shithole it is today
@@jesusahumadaespero9001 exactly!!
I would choose the Accord, just because is available with the manual. I like the design of this Altima, but I simply hate the CVT 😒

@maurice benton CVT only for 1.5T engines. 2.0T using 10 speed auto
@@mohdfaiz88 dont yiu think I know that .. I'm a mazda 6 guy. I only said that because the base model accord is their top seller
maurice benton but you have the option of a Manual or 10 speed auto.

Guess what the Accord has the same looking interior cause this Altima is almost an exact copy. Go for the accord
Hands down the best looking Altima.
Awesome Review Of 2019 Nissan Altima. 😁
So much hate on the Altima
Just purchased a 2019 Altima Deep Blue Pearl SR
I love it so far
My sister has a 2017 SR 75k Miles no problem
Yeah I wish I was able to get SR but had to settle for S but I love it so far, I go city to city every day and love this car
Yeah all these CVT comments worry the shit out of me but I haven't found any problem to bash on it, I mean was not my first choice as I'm in mustang's but working on a family soon and I was upgrading from a overheating pt cruiser
Jonathan Garcia It seems like CVTs were having problems back around 2009-2013. I haven’t heard much about the CVTs in recent years.
Please let us know how the CVT is after 2 years of usage. Thanks
Bjorn Ironsides well I traded cause family has way more history with Ford and got a mustang gt instead but still a very great car was kind of sad when I trading it in because it was a fun car to drive
I think still no one can beat the Mazda 6 interior in terms of look. The 6 just looks a class above. And with driving quality. I still think the accord, Camry and the Mazda 6 are still the best. Good improvement from Nissan on the Altima. But you're still falling behind.
QUÂN PHẠM You’re right but exterior wise I think the Camry looks the best esp the model with the quad exhausts.
@@robbiehernandez8019 nah the sonata looks the best
Wait until you try the sonata n that's going to come out. A new motor is coming out for it next year
@@chrishuber8930 for what genesis did to the new G70. I have a high hope in the sonata.
Chris Huber That’s your opinion ...
I just love cars 😍💙
My mom got a Nissan Altima I love that car I drive it all the time I put my foot all the way to the floor that feels so good & it’s so fun to do it.
Personally, I think the floating roof is comparable to a dead horse these days. Surprised you said you would take this over a Mazda 6 turbo. I think the Mazda looks so much better inside and out and you did mention the 6 handles better too. Amazing that Mazda has made the 3G 6 so competitive, especially in comparison with the fully redesigned Accord, Camry, and Altima. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the 4G model.
@Tom Reid
Well, you know what they say about opinions.
@Tom Reid Perhaps a tour of their assembly plant at Hiroshima would change your mind lol, Mazda shares the same suppliers and assembly as the rest of the Japanese automakers. Their cars will last and there are lots of channels on assembly methods.
@Tom Reid trash you say.... this car and the camry are shit
As long as I have a 100k warranty, I would gladly try the turbo.
Turbo and a CVT would be a really good combination (aside from take off)
Nissan was my first car still love it idc
I am one of the original & early adopters of the CVT when I bought my 2003 Nissan Murano which was made in Japan which now has 350,000 km on it. The main things under the hood I replaced are the radiator and altenator... It still has original CVT and engine. I replaced the CVT fluid in 2004 (1yr after I bought the vehicle) I think that's why it keeps going strong & to this day Dec. 16, 2018, it still drives like it's BRAND NEW. btw I get the same fuel economy with the Murano as the 2003 V6 Honda Accord that I own.
If we had a dollar for every time you said “relatively” we’d retire!
What’s up with you and” relatively “I bet you say something like this and you just don’t mind it,I could give you Darwin Award to review something like broken car
The CVT is a serious deal breaker Nissan
@Money-Gucci-Bitches hurrrrr durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr special olympics winner over here
We all need MONEY!
True
@Money-Gucci-Bitches wdf... it's because high maintaince... not all people can afford BMW or bentz
@Roshiar Fares that I will not agree. Japan cars are reliable not faster or has any better performance than Germany cars. Remember Japan makes their cars thinking liablitly not performance
I agree with the keyfob, got the same one on my 2011 370z
Nissan has just been behind since the 90s...love my accord 2.0
This looks amazing . I just drove it and no one can beat the comfort. CVT is one of the most dependable trans out there. some actually come with a lifetime coverage! Im buying one, I love it.
Nissans have huge reliability issues with their transmissions and their CVTs are the worst.
It really depends on the CVT. Take Toyota, they've been using a CVT in the Prius since the early 2000s. They're known for being bulletproof.
When it comes to Nissan, you can do 5 minutes of research and find a very different story. I'm looking forward to seeing if these new Nissans are any better than prior generations!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks pretty cool, and the interior is nice, but the exterior looks are behind the Mazda 6 (which beats all imo) and the interior is about on par with the Camry, behind the Accord and way behind Mazda. What worries me about this particular car is the long term reliability of a small displacement turbo...with added internal engine complexity/moving parts. It may turn out to be reliable, but I would trust Toyota, Honda or even Mazda to get that part right...and Nissan has been struggling with reliability in recent years. I'm not writing it off, just won't be an early adopter of new engine tech. Oh, and the CVT is a deal breaker as well, especially a Jatco (partly owned by Nissan) CVT.
Everyone is against cvt's but one thing for sure that initial drive sure put a smile on your face! Lol and I don't think you are one to be too easily impressed lol! But Great Review as usual Thumbs up!
Good luck finding this Altima with this VC Turbo engine, none of the dealerships in my state have it
@Jenbug0421 Yea it almost feels like Nissan did false advertisement why advertise a turbo model if none of the Nissan dealerships are going to have any available on the lot
Not a fan of Nissan, but this Altima looks good.
Same Altimas and Maxima looks GOOD but for my first car Nissan is cheap and want so much money , so I went with Honda fully loaded AND a sunroof 😂
Disagree. The fourth gen was their best looking years. They followed the trend of the grill has to be the front fascia. Hyundas take looks amazing. Here they just stretched that last models grill.
TheTritoneTerror They’re one of the worst Japanese brands in terms of build quality and reliability.

Great video and happy holidays. I was wondering if you are going best list this week. Also can you do a video on the different type of pro pilot system. For example compare the Nissan propilot with Volvo system, Benz auto drive Cadillac supercruise.
immediately skipped the vid when i heard its equipped with CVT.
To this day, in SoCal, I see very few new altimas. I see so many accords tho
Not out here in central Cali, you see just as many Nissans as you do Hondas lol
You are very talented reviewer, very eloquent, your ideas pretty well organized and you are very knowledgeable. Thanks for keeping the good work
Drove one (4 cylinder) I like it alot. Definitely considering getting 1 in the future since Infiniti is looking like crap these days smh
Looks great except those damn orange rear turn signals. Instantly adds 10 years
I’m actually a big fan of the orange turn signals, I think they look great and, if anything, makes the car stand out from the rear.
@Ricky Holmes looks like Norm had beer for breakfast again
@@HaydenCMH I feel it would have looked better with clear strip and clear amber LEDs like the Camry xse, but that's just me.
Doesn't help the fact that the turn signals aren't even LED... talk about cost-cutting for an otherwise handsome-looking sedan overall.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 agreed
Nissan please stop using CVT i want old nissan back.
OnlyMyOpinion • it would be fuel very bad fuel efficiency.
This one hit home 😭💯
CVT sucks
Keep ur broken nissan bruh. They haven't had a good rep b4 CVT
Raymar Obedoza mo it wouldn’t. You can the same MPG with a regular transmission
Had a 2018 Altima rental recently and drove 400 miles in a few days. I don’t like the engine or the transmission but I will agree the seats are amazing for this class. Super comfy car to drive for commutes but you will be disappointed if you’re an enthusiast.
Sofyan no comparison or review on the 2019 Kia Optima SXL ?
Patiently waiting to see if you do one, apparently it's a really good mid size sedans.
Scotty Kilmer does not approve!
Especially if it has the VC-turbo
Robert Jones this new engine gonna need a new engine before it even hits 50K Nd let’s not talk bout that transmission gonna need like 2-4 before it hits 50K
Anderson Rodriguez then please explain to me why my 2010 Nissan Maxima has 334000 kilometres (207000) miles and is still on the original cvt 🤔
Got a 2012 Nissan Quest with 130,000 miles and not a single issue with it.
My maxima has not had a single issue, its been a tank
Please please please turn off the hazards when you’re recording inside, it’s so distracting!
I wonder how the hell it didn't bother him! It drives me nuts in my own car!
YES! Sofyan please!
AbsolutelySi STFU
RagingTiger Happy Saturday!! 😊
Drove me insane!!!
I love this car
Glad I didn't hold off for this...Love my 2019 Optima S...no turbo but no CVT either...it handles and feels as Nice as the 2016 Maxima S I traded in.
Nissan if you’re listening please make an All Wheel Drive version of the 2019 Altima VC-Turbo
the cvt would not be able to handle it
It def looks good. I’d wrap that chrome grill tho. And not a fan of cvt but it is nice and drives well. I dont like accord or Camry anyway. Mazda 6 is at the top from these picks.
Funny how everyone claims they'd pick the Mazda6 over the Accord, Camry, Altima, and a free weekend getaway at the Montage Kapalua Bay in Hawaii, yet Mazda6 continues to be the worst selling car in the class...
Saw one today, they did cheap out. Window controls are cheap only one auto window. 2018 camry has good window switches plus all bottons light up at night , even window lock. I like that. Every single bitton in camry lights up.
I like how he called out Nissan for non-led taillights, yet the Honda Accord 2.0T Sport has incandescent bulbs for rear brake and reverse lights and he didn’t mention that on the Accord’s review.
Sofyan is the type of guy who wears a shirt once and buy a new one because its old.
TUNDRA-_-SS wrong channel dude.
PROTOSTAR Wait a minute
Coming to a rental fleet near you!
I got this as a rental when a lady hit my 2018 mustang gt, and i loved this car more lol….
Love the steering wheel. Nice that its in the Sentra too but I just hate how slow it is. I have a 2010 sentra currently and just couldn't fathom buying one thats 10 years newer with only 9 more horsepower.
To get a good review from RR all you need is LED lighting everywhere, soft touch interior materials, flat bottom steering wheel and a nice heavy thud when you shut the door
