The 2010 Nissan Altima can weigh anywhere from 3,081 to 3,357 pounds, depending on the options chosen. The version with a four-cylinder engine is lighter, while the one with a V6 is heavier. This weight range is typical for a midsize sedan like the Altima. Nowadays, cars are often constructed using aluminum because it offers a good balance of strength and lightweight properties. In the event of a crash, aluminum is better at crumpling compared to steel. Most modern cars are built using a unibody platform, where the frame and body are integrated into one piece. This is a departure from the older body-on-frame design.
In 2010, the Nissan Altima sedan with a 2.5L engine has a weight of 3180 lbs for the base model and 3192 lbs for the 2.5 S trim. The 3.5L version of the sedan weighs 3357 lbs. The two-door coupe with a 2.5L engine and 2.5 S trim level weighs 3081 lbs. The manual transmission 3.5 SR coupe weighs 3294 lbs, while the automatic version weighs 3333 lbs.
