In a video celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, the Japanese automaker accidentally showed a pre-production prototype of the 2013 Altima sedan without any camouflage. The find was made by Mike Magrath from Insideline who was able to capture a screen shot of the car before Nissan pulled out the video replacing it with a revised version (3.44 minutes into the clip) that displays a covered up prototype of the Infiniti JX crossover in its place. The picture shows that the new 2013 Altima sedan gets a more distinct design with swoopy lines running across the body and a set of multi-angle headlamps inspired by the Maxima and the 370Z.
Nissan previously told us that the 2013 Altima will be the brand's first car to be offered with a new hybrid system, which combines a supercharged 2.5-liter gasoline engine with a compact CVT package incorporating a single motor and two clutches plus a lithium-ion battery. The Altima will also get a new XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that promises to improve fuel economy.
