"2019 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR Bold Style and All-Weather Performance The 2019 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR marks a radical shift for the Altima nameplate, introducing a complete redesign with sharper lines, a lower stance, and a more aggressive ""V-Motion"" grille. The SR trim is the athlete of the family, trading chrome for dark accents and adding a sport-tuned suspension that makes every corner in Northwest Indiana feel more engaging. Whether you are commuting to Chicago or navigating the suburban streets of Crown Point, the 2019 Altima SR delivers a premium, high-energy driving experience. Under the hood is a refined 2.5L Direct Injection 4-cylinder engine, producing a spirited 188 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with the Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) featuring a specialized Manual Shift Mode with Paddle Shifters exclusive to the SR trim. For the first time in Altima history, this generation offers an available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which continuously monitors road conditions to distribute power between the front and rear wheels, providing incredible confidence during Indiana's unpredictable winter lake-effect snow. The SR (Sport Rally) trim is designed for the driver who wants a customized look and a more connected feel to the road: SR Sport Styling: Features 19-inch Machine-Finished Alloy Wheels, a dark chrome V-Motion grille, black mirror caps, and a rear spoiler for a distinct, high-performance aesthetic. Sport-Tuned Suspension: Includes revised dampers and stiffer springs, providing flatter cornering and a more responsive steering feel than the standard Altima. Nissan Intelligent Mobility: Includes standard Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and the Intelligent Driver Alertness system to help keep you focused on the road. 8-Inch Color Touchscreen: A vibrant center display featuring standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, allowing for seamless smartphone connectivity. SR Interior Accents: The cabin features unique sport-cloth seats with bold orange contrast stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. Active Ridge Control & Intelligent Trace Control: Advanced chassis technologies that use subtle braking to smooth out the ride over bumps and help the car stay on its intended path through curves. Remote Engine Start: A must-have for Merrillville winters, allowing you to warm up the cabin and defrost the windows from the comfort of your home. LED Signature Lighting: Features LED projector headlights with a signature Daytime Running Light design for superior visibility and a modern look. The 2019 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR is the perfect choice for the driver who wants the efficiency of a midsize sedan but refuses to settle for a ""standard"" look or feel.
