2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid
09Oct
Overall, the Altima has a pleasant, real-car quality to it, whereas some hybrids can feel a bit like a science-fair project.
Nissan seems pretty tentative about the whole hybrid thing, with a lone hybrid model that is only sold in a handful of states (CA, CT, MA, ME, NJ, NY, OR, RI, and VT, to be exact). The Altima’s hybrid system is essentially the same as that in the Toyota Camry hybrid, although Nissan pairs it with its own 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. As in the Camry, a continuously variable automatic is the only transmission. The Altima hybrid would appear to be very much a me-too vehicle, but in many ways it’s actually more satisfying than the Camry hybrid.
