Nissan Altima Coupe 2009 Demands Attention with Aggressive Styling, Performance and Features PDF Manual

Though based off the dynamic Nissan Altima Sedan, the sporty, 2-door Altima Coupe delivers a totally unique driving experience. The Altima Coupe fills a desire among target customers for a more personal expression of style, individuality and fashionable appearance. Its unique exterior design is intended to stand out in a crowd of sedan-based two-door models with magnetic, perfectly proportioned styling with a shorter wheelbase, shorter overall length and lower height than the Altima Sedan. The smaller size and lighter overall weight also contribute to the Altima Coupe’s sportier driving feel – another desired attribute of the typically younger, more performance-oriented coupe buyers.

“Like the popular Altima Sedan, the Coupe offers style, performance, quality and passion with a personality that is all its own,” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. “The Altima Coupe is more than just two less doors, it offers its own unique interpretation of Nissan’s exhilarating driving pleasure. The Coupe’s aggressive design, driver-oriented cockpit and unique styling give it an extensive amount of separation from the Sedan.” An all-new design for 2008, the Altima Coupe adds revised 18-inch alloy wheels on V6-equipped models with larger 235/45R18 tires for the 2009 model year.

Automatic door locks are also added to all models and the front grille receives a high-gloss paint treatment (previously medium gloss). The 2009 Altima Coupe is available with a choice of the award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter V6 or powerful 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engines, each offered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission).

Also offered for 2009 is a long list of user-friendly technology features – including standard Nissan Intelligent Key™, available Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, an advanced touch-screen navigation system with XM NavTraffic® with real-time traffic information (XM® subscription required, sold separately) and RearView Monitor. Design That Ignites Emotion, Passion and Enthusiasm The most noticeable separation from the Altima Sedan is the Altima Coupe’s bold exterior styling. Dimensionally, the Altima Coupe rides on a 105.3-inch wheelbase, a full 4.0 inches shorter than the Sedan.

Overall length is 182.5 inches – 7.1 inches less than the Sedan. The Coupe also has a lower profile – at 55.3 inches it is 2.5 inches lower than the Sedan. In terms of major body panels, the two cars share only a common hood, with all other panels, grille, headlights and rear combination lights unique to the Altima Coupe. Two chrome exhaust tips with unique rear taillights form a distinctive rear presence. “Altima Coupe is sleek and sporty, featuring an aggressive stance and a bold shoulder that adds dimension to the body side,” said Castignetti. “It’s a car that looks much more expensive than it is, both the exterior and interior, and feels like it, too.”

The 2009 Altima Coupe 2.5 S model is available with 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels on the 2.5S model with P215/60R16 all-season tires, while new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with Michelin P235/45R18 tires are standard on the 3.5 SE. An Advanced “D” Platform Under the Altima Coupe’s sophisticated exterior design, this latest addition to the Altima family shares the platform, powertrain and user-friendly features and innovations of the fourth-generation Altima Sedan. Altima Coupe utilizes Nissan’s advanced “D” platform. First used on the 2007 Altima family, this new platform was developed with the objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive vehicles available globally.
