我们还没有看到全新日产Altima的原型，但我们很快会看到更多。日产今天证实，它将在2018年的纽约汽车展上推出全新的中型轿车。具体来说，日产称该车将于3月28日发布。根据此前的谍照，我们预计外观方面全新一代Altima将借鉴2017北美车展发布的日产Vmotion2.0概念车的设计语言，前脸的V-motion进气格栅造型更加张扬，两侧角度尖锐的大灯组与概念车尤其相像，内部融入“回旋镖”式的LED灯带，看上去极具未来感。车身侧面来看，同全新凯美瑞、新雅阁一样，新Altima的造型也营造出十分年轻化、运动化的设计风格，以吸引更多年轻消费者。尾部方面，测试车严密的伪装下是富有层次感的尾部线条，全新Altima将继续采用“小鸭尾”式的后扰流设计，而双边共两出的排气布局也有着不错的视觉效果。内饰方面，日产Altima或将采用悬浮式中控屏，并有望搭载全新的娱乐系统。其他方面，日产并未透露太多信息。预计新车仍将采用CVT变速器，另外新车还将搭载大排量自然进气引擎。日产目前正在推进其自动驾驶技术，即便新车未提供半自动驾驶技术，也将采用更多新的驾驶员辅助系统。

 

Confirmed: New Nissan Altima Will Debut Next Month In New York

We haven’t seen much of the next Nissan Altima in prototype form, but we’ll soon see much more. Nissan today confirmed rumors that it will pull the coverings off its all-new midsize sedan at the 2018 New York Auto Show, slated to run at the end of March. Specifically, Nissan released a strange "it's a date" video saying the car will be revealed March 28. Apparently, New York loves the Nissan Altima. We know NYC cab drivers do.

 

Based on the only set of spy photos we’ve seen, we expect the new Altima to borrow styling cues from Nissan’s Vmotion 2.0 Concept that appeared just over a year ago at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. That concept wasn’t stingy with sharp, angular lines, and despite the camouflage wrappings on this prototype we can see more than just passing similarity to the concept. The grille especially seems close to the Vmotion, not to mention the brand’s flagship Maxima sedan. Look for the Altima to take a more conservative approach to the sides and rear, however.

 

Otherwise, Nissan has done an admirable job of keeping its new Altima a secret. The automaker has stuck with CVTs in the past, and we expect the new Altima to stay the course with a version of the CVT found in the Maxima, which hopefully addresses this shortcoming. Nissan has also held onto its larger-displacement, naturally aspirated engines while competitors have downsized to turbocharged mills. Nissan is progressing well with its autonomous technology; if there isn't a semi-autonomous option we at least expect to see some new driver assist features.
