Nissan Altima Coupe's performance feeling is enhanced by a driver-centered interior. Though sharing much of the design and features with the new Altima Sedan interior, the Coupe includes unique sports-style front seats with more side support, in-board release lever and front kangaroo pouches. The Coupe also includes a 60/40 split/flat fold-down rear seat.

Along with its all-new exterior and personal interior, Nissan Altima Coupe utilizes the all-new Nissan "D" platform with increased body rigidity and a redesigned suspension. This platform was developed with the objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive vehicles available globally.

Nissan Altima Coupe will be 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 smooth 6-speed manual transmission or Nissan's advanced Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

Also offered is a long list of user-friendly technology features - including standard Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, available Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, an advanced touch-screen navigation system with XM Ô RealTime Traffic updates and RearView Monitor. Standard safety equipment includes front-seat side-impact supplemental air bags, side-impact curtain supplemental air bags and Zone Body construction.

Nissan Altima Coupe goes on sale in summer 2007 as a 2008 model at Nissan retailers nationwide.
