Walkaround
After last year's major restyling, the Altima remains visually unchanged for 2001. It still sports last year's longer, sleeker look, with unique front-end styling for the sporty SE. Headlight clusters include integral turn signals and cornering lamps, even the fog lamps on SE and GLE. In the rear, bright red taillights and a rear deck lid finisher contribute to a wide and elegant theme.
Interior Features
The front seats feel large enough for football players, and we like them. They are well bolstered to hold you in place while driving quickly and offer enough lumbar support that your lower spine won't complain on long drives. All models but the XE offer optional side airbags, which are standard on the high-line GLE.The gauges are large, easy to read, and look like sports car dials. A new center console on automatic cars adds more bins, as well as extra cupholders for rear passengers and a plug for their cell phones. This sounds inviting for busy adults, but in reality the rear seats are only large enough for youngsters.
