The 2010 Nissan Altima is on sale now and features minor styling upgrades as well as new features and increased gas mileage.

Up front, you may notice the new grille, hood and front bumper. The styling hasn’t been drastically changed but does feature more defined lines.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a larger screen for the optional navigation system and a newly available hard drive for storing music. A missing feature for 2010 on the sedan is a manual transmission. The coupe still offers a manual in both four-and six-cylinder engines.2010altima

Both engines get a modest bump in gas mileage when teamed with the automatic transmission. The four-cylinder is now 23/32 mpg city/highway — up one mpg in city ratings — and the six-cylinder is 20/27 mpg — up one mpg in city and highway ratings.

The 2010 Altima starts at $19,900, which is unchanged from 2009. There are marginal increases in other models, and you can find a full pricing breakdown, here
