The next-gen Nissan Altima 2018 is said to make its debut at this year’s New York International Auto Show taking place from the 30th of March to the 9th of April 9 at the Jacob K Javits Convention Center.
According to the released sketch, the 6th-gen Altima does not have too much resemblance to its outgoing model or any D-segment rivals. Instead, it owns a more dynamic and bolder appearance with some styling cues borrowed from the V-Motion 2.0 Concept introduced last year in Detroit.

In particular, the Nissan sedan receives a significant redesign with the distinguished V-Motion grille and the sweeping head lamps on the front fascia. Also borrowed from the said concept are an outstanding beltline running through the car’s body as well as a floating roofline though this feature might be toned down for the production model.
