Nissan is reporting that the 4 millionth Altima was delivered to a U.S. customer earlier this month, simultaneously pushing the nameplate above the previous 2007 record of 284,762 unit sales.
"Since the first Altima rolled off the line at the Nissan Smyrna Vehicle Assembly plant in 1992, the nameplate’s reputation for quality and reliability has grown stronger with each new model," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president of sales and marketing. "The 2013 Altima lives up to this standard with its five-star NCAP safety rating, and it adds best-in-class fuel economy as well as class-leading style and content."
Nissan's conquest sales show that nearly 25 percent of 2013 Altima buyers are former Toyota or Honda owners, and 11.6 percent traded a premium brand for an Altima.
