Nissan is celebrating the start of production of the 2019 ltima at its Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant.

Building on 25 years of success and more than 5.6 million sales to date, the all-new Altima is bringing excitement back to the mid-size sedan segment with expressive styling, an uplifting interior and two new engines. The Altima is also the first Nissan sedan in the U.S. available with Intelligent AWD and advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility features, including ProPilot Assist.

"The thriving automotive industry in Mississippi started with Nissan over 15 years ago, and we celebrate with the entire Nissan team on today's launch," said Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant. "The all-new Altima embodies the success of Mississippi in leading the world in bringing cutting-edge technologies to market through advanced manufacturing."

The sixth-generation Altima is being built at Nissan Canton and at Nissan's Smyrna (Tennessee) Vehicle Assembly Plant, where production began in August 2018. The all-new model will arrive in dealer showrooms in the U.S. this fall.
