For 1994, its second year on the market, the Nissan Altima saw the addition of some new safety features, including a passenger-side air bag and three-point seat belts. Other than that, the Altima stayed largely the same for the model year. The 1994 Altima came in four trim levels: the base XE, the midrange GXE, the sporty SE, and the luxurious GLE. All Altimas in the lineup shared a 2.4 liter, 150 horsepower four cylinder engine. Fuel economy is 21/29 mpg. Drivers like the 1994 Nissan Altima because it is very reliable, gets good gas mileage, and offers a comfortable ride for a good price. Some drivers find the car is too small for larger drivers and passengers, especially in the back seat.
