Nissan Altima Engines and Transmissions
Nissan Altima engine choices include gasoline-powered 2.0 CVT and 2.5 CVT versions. The 2.0 CVT uses front-wheel drive, while 2.5 CVT versions offer front- or all-wheel drive. Their continuously variable transmission adjusts ratios without conventional fixed gear changes; all-wheel drive can help you pull away on slippery roads, though tires remain crucial for grip.
