2019 Nissan Altima SV AWD Detailed Walk Around and Review

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another video of Cars Unlocked. My name is Christopher. Today we're going to check out the 2019 Nissan Altima SV, fully redesigned for this year. Comes with the new all-wheel drive system. I can't wait to take a look. If you want to see more of these videos, please do not hesitate to subscribe to my channel. Ask me a few questions. If you want to know anything that I didn't mention about the Altima in the comment section below. Let's get to it. So today we're talking about the SV Altima. You can see in my other video I reviewed the Platinum Edition 1, which is our top model. The SV is right in the middle. There's one below this which is the S and then there's the SV and then we get into the Platinum levels. With this SV you do add a few luxury upgrades that you wouldn't get in the base model. What we can see from the side profile, we add the aluminum alloy rims which you go up from your standard steel covers. Nice LED turning accents on the mirrors. Chrome finish on the windows and handles. That's in all the Altimas but it gives it a nice luxury look. This year's model has been fully redesigned. It gives it a little lower feel, makes it more competitive and gives it a sporty look for this family sedan size market. I mentioned this in my other video, coming right from the Nissan Maxima is this floating look in the back. So they blacked out this A-pillar here and really gives it a full floating look. Huge new look to the front of the Nissan Altima. As you can see the front grille has gotten a lot bigger and that Nissan V-Motion grille goes down really low almost to the bottom of the car. They've given it this nice large bold Nissan symbol. It's flattened out because our safety sensors are behind there. That's going to offer features like our forward emergency braking, pedestrian detection and our Nissan ProPILOT assist. The headlights are all LED headlights so another high-end feature that you get. You do get the auto on off headlights as well and we do have the LED fog lights down below. Nothing too fancy here on the rear. Our backup camera is right below our Nissan symbol. In addition to the 2019 redesign are the rear sensors. So it's going to assist you when parking and it's going to help use that ProPILOT assist which I will get to in a second. Dual chrome exhaust below gives it a nice sporty finish. So a little different rim. The spokes are very large. They don't look very large because you do have the silver accents here but this is all black if you can see behind here. So they've added a really large spoke to the rim. When you go up to this SV model you do move up to the 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels. So as I mentioned the biggest addition to the 2019 Altima is the intelligent intuitive all-wheel drive system. Similar system to what's in your Nissan Rogue where it's going to automatically sense when you're slipping and sliding and then it will kick it into the all-wheel drive. The powertrain Nissan's tweaked a little bit for the new redesign. You still get the 2.5 four-cylinder direct injection gasoline. It's going to give you about 188 horsepower and 178 pounds feet of torque. Sticking with the Nissan CVT transmission that's something that a lot of my people comment about is the CVT transmission but Nissan's gone full-blown with the CVT. They've kept it in the new Altima and I'm sure they'll continue to tweak it for years to come. With the CVT you do get phenomenal fuel mileage. That's one thing I love about owning a Nissan Altima. It's going to be about 7.9 liters per every 100 kilometers combined which is going to transfer into about 36 mpg. Coming standard on all the Altimas now is the remote starter. So perfect for the winter time you can just push the button twice there and hold the remote starter button and it's going to warm up the car for you. Now that the car is warming up let's check out the inside. So a ton of changes when I sit into the Nissan Altima. There is the zero gravity seats that's a signature of Nissan. Those won't be going away because they've been very very popular. We have the NASA inspired zero gravity seats. This one is an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat. On the interior of this SV package we have the nice chrome little plastic accents here. Very soft surfaces all throughout the vehicle. When you go up to the platinum you do see the wood tone trim and you can check out my other video to see that up close. So let's start it up and check out this steering wheel. Taken right out of the Nissan Rogue we have the d-shaped steering wheel. One of my favorite things about this SV model is you do get the pro pilot assist and the Nissan safety shield features. So when some of the other makes like the Rogue and the Qashqai you have to go up to the top model but the pro pilot assist is going to keep you centered in the lane. It's going to use the intelligent cruise control to keep the distance from the person in front of you a certain length and then you have the blind spot monitors and the lane departure warning. So really you can drive almost hands-free. Our bluetooth is on the wheel as well and then our radio and cruise control is to the left here. One thing I didn't mention in the edition one video is Nissan added the vehicle information screen. You have this very large seven inch screen. It's a lot bigger than the previous model and the biggest thing is you have the digital speedo. So that wasn't in the previous Ultima models. The digital speedometer gives it a little more modern and puts it in with its competitors there. Okay so this is awesome. Nissan added the vehicle information screen right to the top of the dash almost giving it that tablet look similar to what's in your Mazdas and some of its other competitors. It allows for an easier viewing angle so I don't have to look all the way down here like last year's model. I can just look straight and it allows me to keep my eyes on the entertainment system and the road at the same time. Not as many features as the edition one. This one doesn't come with the nav or gps. I do have my bluetooth connections, my audio series satellite xm. You can play music through bluetooth as well. USB. One standard feature that Nissan has added to every Ultima is the apple carplay and android auto. So I can set that up to play music and I can use the nav on my phone that way and apps like Waze. That's going to come standard in the Ultima which is a pretty big feature. A lot larger knobs on this year's edition here. The redesigned bigger temperature knobs. It is Nissan's dual temperature control that you get in this sv package. One feature that I like is they added the heated seats and the heated steering wheel controls right there. So all our climate controls are in one spot and I can control my heated wheel and my heated seats. Two usb ports up here. We have our usb c and then we do have our regular usb. There is a little phone storage so I can put my phone in the slot there. So they took the position of the push button start and put it right above our shifter. It's now right there. Makes it a little easier to find. Before it was a little hidden behind the steering wheel. So with this sv model you add the sunroof to the roof. It is a manual shade and then you do have the regular sunroof. No panoramic roof like in the Rogue or the Maximas. They just kept this the same. So one thing the Nissan Ultima is known for is having a ton of in the back. Like I said perfect for that family size sedan. There is a lot of space. One thing I've noticed about this redesign is we lost a little head headroom from last year's model. That's probably because they backed out that pillar there. But there is still a ton of space. The seats are very comfortable. I have this nice two-tone cloth and then I have the cup holders as well in the center stack there. There's also two usbs back here which is going to charge your phone allow you to play music. A very large trunk in the Nissan Ultima. There's not much you can't fit back here. It is a 60 40 split seat. Of course it's going to come with the carpeted mats. But get a shot of that Kaylee. It's a very big trunk. So there you have it folks.
