“The Nissan VC-Turbo performs complex technical feats that amaze engineers and enthusiasts and provides exciting performance and outstanding fuel economy that everyone can appreciate,” says Wards Senior Content Director, Drew Winter.
The turbocharged four-cylinder variable-compression engine generates 236 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque and earns an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 25 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway in 2020 Altima.
“Offering our best technologies on top-selling models is a priority. We purposely debuted this technology on Altima, which can be had for less than $30,000 when equipped with the VC-Turbo engine,” said Chris Reed, senior vice president, research and development, Nissan Technical Center North America (NTCNA). “We’ve worked for years perfecting this innovation and are extremely proud to be recognized by Wards as one of its 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems for 2020.”
The 2020 Nissan Altima is also equipped with advanced connectivity features including standard Android Auto to help you seamlessly connect your smartphone on the go while available NissanConnect tech such as Nissan Door to Door Navigation helps keep you on the right path.
