The new Altima has some changes over its predecessor. Wheelbase is increased 7.1 inches; overall length is up 5.7 inches; width is thicker by 1.3 inches; and height is raised by 2 inches. Most importantly, though, the car's cabin is 9.3 cubic feet roomier than that of the last-generation model. Those sitting up front will be grateful for the Altima's 1.3-inch increase in front headroom and 1.9-inch increase in front legroom; backseat passengers now have more space in which to stretch their legs, thanks to the sedan's 2.6-inch increase in rear legroom.
