Year to Year Changes
1994 Nissan Altima:
A passenger-side airbag and 3-point manual front seatbelts are the major new features this year for Altima.
1995 Nissan Altima:
The grille insert switches from a honeycomb pattern to horizontal bars; taillamps receive a subtle update and the wheel covers have been redesigned.
1996 Nissan Altima:
Nissan's popular Altima returns nearly unchanged for 1996.
1997 Nissan Altima:
No significant changes were made to the 1997 Altima, which was released in June instead of September 1996. Early production cars did not include the side-impact door beams federally mandated for 1997, so Nissan began offering a 1997 1/2 model in the fall that included the extra crash protection. Altima would be all new for '98.
