NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2004 Nissan Altima Review
"Nissan's best-selling model is unchanged for 2004, as a revised '05 model awaits a spring 2004 introduction. Altima shares its basic design with the Maxima, but costs less and offers a 4-cyl engine vs. Maxima's exclusive V6 power. Altima comes as the 4-cyl 2.5, 2.5 S, and 2.5 SL models. The top-line 3.5 SE has a V6. All offer 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, except the automatic-only 2.5 SL. Leather upholstery is standard on the 2.5 SL, optional on the 3.5 SE, and unavailable on other models. All Altimas have 4-wheel disc brakes. All but base 2.5 models offer a Braking and Airbag option that bundles ABS with front torso side airbags and head-protecting curtain side airbags; traction control can be added on 3.5 SE automatics. SEs come with 17-inch wheels vs. the other models' 16s. The 3.5 SE is available with a variety of sport packages that include such features as a sunroof, rear spoiler, premium audio, heated seats, and xenon headlamps. The '05 model will feature slightly revised exterior styling and a redesigned interior, along with a new 5-speed automatic available with the V6."

NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).
