Powertrain Options and Availability
All four Altima models (XE, GXE, SE, and GLE) have a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts. It produces 150 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 154 pound-feet of torque at 4400 rpm. A 5-speed manual is standard on the base XE, GXE, and sporty SE, while the 4-speed automatic that comes optional on those three versions is standard on the luxury-oriented GLE. Acceleration is more than adequate, with 0-60 times of 9.4 seconds or so when equipped with the automatic.
