After Nissan inadvertently showed us a glimpse of the all-new 2013 Altima sedan in an unrelated video concerning the 30th anniversary of its Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan, earlier this week, the company has now published an official teaser of the car.

In addition, Nissan confirmed that the next generation of the Altima would make its world premiere at the 2012 New York International Auto Show in the first week of April.

The footage shows the 2013 Altima mid-size saloon from above providing a peek at the car’s new lines.

The only other official piece of information we have on the new Altima is that it will debut a brand-new hybrid system that utilizes a 2.5-liter supercharged gasoline engine with a compact-size CVT package that incorporates a single electric motor and two clutches with energy being stored in a lithium-ion battery.

More to come in the next few days, so stay tuned for updates on Carscoop.
