2014 Altima Rated Best Retained Value!

ELK GROVE, Calif. - July 2, 2014 - PRLog -- The 2014 Nissan Altima has been named the 2014 Edmunds.com Best Retained Value for midsize sedans, making it more than a quick and comfortable purchase! With this award, Nissan has shown that it is committed to more than looks, more than comfort, and more than speed; Nissan is committed to long-term value. This award is given to the vehicles that are expected to hold the most value 5 years after purchase.

Nissan of Elk Grove is proud to offer a wide variety of 2014 Altimas for those looking for a combination of speed, comfort, and value! The 2014 Altima is already known for its comfortable drive, excellent gas mileage, and powerful engine, and the Edmunds.com Best Retained Value Award solidifies the Altima's place as an excellent family sedan that doesn't compromise when it comes to delivering the most bang for your buck!

Nissan is known as something of a risk taker among major car companies, but the 2014 Nissan Altima is all about staying the course. Following a redesign last year that brought it more in line with the larger Maxima's sense of style, the Altima sedan stands pat, save for a few equipment changes. There is good reason to be conservative: the Altima is Nissan's top-selling sedan, and one of the best choices available for a midsize family sedan.

One important ingredient in the Altima's formula is its smartly tuned ride and handling. The Altima feels more focused and responsive than many rivals do, yet it doesn't beat you up over bumps. That's the sort of thing that stands out on a test-drive, and the same goes for the Altima's continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is a factor in the car's excellent fuel economy (31 mpg combined with the four-cylinder engine) and strong, seamless acceleration.

The Altima is also known for its pleasant interior furnishings, which can be augmented for 2014 with NissanConnect Apps, a new smartphone integration system that brings services like Pandora into the mix. As usual, every Altima offers high-quality cabin materials and an attractive, sporty dashboard.
