Speaking on the first day of production of the new 2013 Altima, Bill Krueger, vice chairman, Nissan Americas said, "This is a huge day for the Nissan brand as we ramp up production and begin shipping the new, fuel-efficient Altimas to our dealers. The new Altima is a game-changer for the mid-size market and our dealers can't wait to share it with our customers."

In addition to excellent mileage, the 2013 Nissan Altima offers new refined technology only available on Nissan cars. Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert system keeps tire pressure at an optimal level, ensuring safety in handling and additional fuel savings.
