Kuwait, 09 March 2019: Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Company (AABC), the sole authorized dealer of Nissan vehicles in the State of Kuwait recently unveiled the latest edition of the all-new Altima at the Avenues mall. The sixth generation of Nissan’s best-selling sedan was on display for Nissan fans to witness first-hand a new benchmark in design, driving enjoyment and technology built within the new Nissan Altima.

 

The event included entertainment with global artists alongside special prizes and giveaways during the MC contest.

 

The car features expressive styling, an uplifting interior, two new powertrains, and advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility features.

 

It is longer and wider than the previous generation with a highly balanced, aggressive stance and the option of 19-inch wheels and tires. Inside, the all-new premium interior features a wide ‘gliding wing’ instrument panel – which accentuates the exterior’s low cowl and hood, helping create an open, airy environment.

 

Laurent Pernet, General Manager - Automotive Division at Al Babtain Group said,” 

“For 70 years, Al Babtain has represented and developed the Nissan brand in Kuwait: 70 years is an exceptional sign of loyalty and dedication by our customers who believe in the brand and its offerings. Despite our long tenure, we still remain more than ever excited when a new product is about to be launched. So, what better way to celebrate our seven decade anniversary than with The All-NEW 2019 Nissan Altima:

• Advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety 

• Two new engines, including the company’s world’s first production-ready Variable Compression Turbo 

• Expressive design with wider and more athletic proportions 

• New open, airy premium uplifting interior design

 

The All-New Altima benefits from a rich heritage of 25 years of presence in the market, now in its 6th generation with more than 5.5 million vehicles sold. I can assure you that the New Altima sets new levels of standards in the Kuwaiti market be it for its design , technology, safety or mere pleasure of driving. As far as Quality of Service is concerned, we ensure this is a top priority and that all of our employees deliver the expected level of professionalism and expertise for guaranteed customer satisfaction. ”

 

Key interior comfort and convenience features include upgraded seats with added bolstering for improved holding and support. The car also features Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ and an 8-inch multi-touch colour display for complete in-car entertainment and ease of driver control. 

 

Cutting-edge Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies have been integrated into the 2019 Altima as standard. These include Nissan’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which helps drivers to detect stationary objects when reversing. When an object is detected, the system warns the driver with visual and audible warnings. The all new Altima also provides front, side and rear safety monitoring and intervention technologies – including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), radar-based Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and High Beam Assist (HBA). 

 

Two new engines have been introduced on the 2019 Altima. Standard on all 2019 Altima grade levels is a new 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine. More than just the gains in horsepower and torque, the new engine offers improvements in smoothness and cabin quietness, along with enhanced fuel economy and cleaner emissions. 

 

Replacing the previous-generation Altima’s 3.5-liter V6 engine is the world’s first production-ready variable compression turbo inline 4-cylinder. A significant technological breakthrough, the VC-Turbo seamlessly changes its compression ratio, delivering the performance of a much larger power plant with fuel efficiency and improved emissions. 

 

The 2019 Altima offered in a range of trim levels – S, SV and SL & Sport in the 2.5L and SV and SL grades in 2.0L Turbo. The vehicle is available in Nissan Al Babtain showrooms located in Al Rai and Ahmadi.
