Nissan Altima Engines and Transmissions

The 2.4 MT and 2.4 AT are examples of this generation’s gasoline powertrains, both with front-wheel drive. The manual lets you choose gears yourself, giving you more direct control over engine response, while the automatic reduces the effort of driving in stop-and-go traffic.
