2009 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S Trim Overview

Delivering sporty performance and equally sporty looks, the 2009 Altima Coupe 2.5 S jumps out from 0 to 60 in about 6.5 seconds, thanks to its light-footed stance and its 2.5-liter, double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine, which generates 175 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. The engine features variable valve timing, direct ignition, and an electronic drive-by-wire throttle, and links to either a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission or Nissan's Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with a manual shift mode. The front-wheel-drive Altima Coupe 2.5 S rides on 16-inch wheels with all-season tires and comes standard with four-wheel antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution.

Exterior features include a lightweight aluminum hood, power-adjustable exterior mirrors, splashguards, and dual exhaust pipes with chrome tips. Inside, standard features include cloth seats, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, cruise control, and metallic trim. A six-speaker AM/FM audio system with an MP3 input jack also comes standard. Safety features include front seat-mounted side-impact airbags and roof-mounted side-curtain airbags for both rows of seats. A Premium Package adds dual-zone temperature control, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, leather seats, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped shift knob, among other features.
