Nissan Altima SL

The 2009 Nissan Altima SL has the same 3.5L engine as the SE model—delivering 270 horsepower, this block replaces the 2.5L engine of standard models. The SL's engine gets 19 MPG in city and 26 highway, according to the manufacturer's specs.

Starting with the basics offered on standard models, the Nissan Altima SL has steering-wheel mounted cruise control and power locks and windows, as well as the unique Nissan key system (also offered in the 2.5S and the 3.5SE) that offers touch-key ignition options for the newest in button-control technology. The Altima SL also includes sport-tuned suspension, folding heated mirrors with turn signal indicators, but that's not all: unique features offered on the SL include some interesting technology like a power-sliding glass moonroof, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, digital Bose® audio system, and XM® Satellite Radio for fresh tunes on the road. For interior climate control, this luxury model offers leather-appointed and heated front seats, as well as Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control.

For safety, the Altima SL has the Anti-lock brake system and six airbags that are standard on the basic models as well. Beyond this, the SE and SL models offer a traction control system that can control brake pressure and engine torque to help optimize handling on the road. Much more is built into the Altima for safety. The SL has standard features like structural stops for front end collision, as well as seat features like Front-seat Active Head Restraints and a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) for holistic family safety in this high-design sedan. The unique safety feature on the SL is High Intensity Discharge xenon headlights, to help drivers see the road ahead.

All this, as well as a security system that comes standard on all Altima models, makes the Altima SL a top of the line model for comfort and superior audio, climate and tech controls.
