2007 Nissan Altima 2.5

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 — factory-equipped overview

Powertrain and chassis
- Engine: 2.5L DOHC 16-valve inline-4 (QR25DE), rated at approximately 175 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. The engine uses Nissan’s variable valve timing for improved mid-range torque and fuel efficiency.
- Transmissions: Factory offerings included a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, depending on the specific model/trim and market. The Altima is configured as a front-wheel-drive sedan.
- Suspension and brakes: MacPherson strut front suspension with a multi-link rear suspension for a balance of ride comfort and handling. Braking system is conventional four-wheel disc/drum design depending on equipment level (many U.S. 2.5 models came with front disc and rear drum; higher equipment levels had four-wheel disc brakes) and includes an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD).

Exterior features
- Body: Four-door mid-size sedan styling with a focus on aerodynamic lines and a relatively roomy trunk opening.
- Lighting: Halogen headlamps with integrated turn signals and standard taillamps. Intermittent windshield wipers with variable settings.
- Mirrors and glass: Power-adjustable side mirrors (heated mirrors available on higher trims or as option packages in some markets). Tinted glass and rear window defroster included.
- Wheels and tires: Typically fitted with 16-inch steel wheels and full wheel covers on base 2.5 models; alloy wheels were available or standard on higher trims. Full-size trunk with a factory spare (compact spare in some vehicles).

Interior and convenience
- Seating and trim: Seating for five with cloth upholstery on the 2.5 base. Front bucket seats and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench to expand cargo capacity.
- Adjustments: Manual seat adjustments for driver and front passenger; many base units include a height-adjustable driver seat and reclining front seats.
- Climate control: Manual air conditioning with cabin air filtration and adjustable vents; rear passenger vents are limited to cabin airflow rather than a separate climate zone.
- Power accessories: Power windows with driver’s one-touch down in many factory configurations; power door locks with remote keyless entry.
- Steering and controls: Tilt steering column; steering wheel design varies by trim, with steering-wheel mounted audio controls appearing on higher trims or as part of option packages.
- Storage and convenience: Center console storage bin, cup holders, glove compartment, and door panel storage. Folding rear seatback for through-load capability.

Audio and electronics
- Audio system: Factory AM/FM stereo with single-disc CD player and MP3 playback capability; six speakers are common on many factory setups. An auxiliary input jack for portable audio devices was available on many U.S. models of this year. Satellite radio and CD-changer provisions were offered as options or dealer-installed accessories.
- Instrumentation: Analog gauges for speedometer and tachometer, fuel and coolant temperature, plus a multi-function trip odometer and warning indicators for vehicle systems. Some models include an outside temperature display and compass as part of the information cluster.
- Security: Immobilizer and remote keyless entry. Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) was introduced or mandated in many markets in this model year and may be present depending on region and specification.

Safety
- Passive restraints: Dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags for front and rear outboard occupants on many factory configurations.
