With the addition of the new SR model to the 2016 Altima line-up, Nissan
is taking dead aim at one of the fastest growing areas of the mid-size
sedan segment – sport variants. Among some competitors, the so-called
"sport" grades account for nearly 40 percent of total sales. Altima
already is one of the sportiest designs in the segment, however the
company is taking a more Nissan-like approach, adding a level of true
enhanced performance to go with the requisite larger wheels and spoiler.
Better yet, in order to keep the new Altima SR affordable for younger buyers who might be moving into the mid-size sedan segment for the first time, the new SR grade is based on the Altima S, rather than the higher grade Altima SV or Altima SL.
