The Altima Hybrid is essentially a Toyota hybrid wrapped in Nissan’s attractive packaging. Nissan licensed Toyota’s hybrid technology, and except for a few key adjustments along the way, has simply transplanted the hybrid system and drivability into its own product.
The Nissan Altima Hybrid has a 158-horsepower petrol engine and a 40-horsepower electric motor. The internal combustion engine is located 162 feet from the gas engine and about 199 feet away from the electric motor. The Nissan Altima Hybrid is a 5-passenger midsize sedan that offers all the style, convenience, and technology features as the gasoline version but with benefits of enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions. In September 2002, Nissan and Toyota signed a basic agreement in which Toyota will supply Nissan with the hybrid system components (transaxle, inverter, battery, and control unit) allowing Nissan to produce 100,000 hybrid vehicles within a five-year period.
The Nissan Altima Hybrid leads the pack with a very respectable 35 miles per gallon (MPG) city rating. While the 350z delivers respectable mileage for a sports car, most of Nissan's SUV offerings stand to gain the most from improvements in MPG figures. The Nissan Altima hybrid will fetch a tax credit of $2,350.00 if it passes IRS certification in January. The nissan altima hybrid coasts along like a dream car. It has plenty of power and still gets great miles per gallon.
The Nissan Altima hybrid will bring the newest hybrid technology to the market- the continually variable transmission or CVT. This technology reduces fuel consumption and emissions.This will be Nissan's first hybrid car that will be available to the marketplace. The Nissan Altima Hybrid has a 158-horsepower petrol engine and a 40-horsepower electric motor. The internal combustion engine is located 162 feet from the gas engine and about 199 feet away from the electric motor. The Nissan Altima Hybrid is rated at 170 horsepower, and the standard fuel economy for the vehicle is estimated at 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, according to Nissan.
The Nissan Altima Hybrid's emergency response guide indicates that the high-voltage cables under the vehicle are encased completely in a black plastic protector. High-voltage warning labels or symbols should be visible in the areas where the orange cables are present.
The Altima Hybrid is noticeably more responsive than the Camry Hybrid. If the extra pep is essential to you, and you’re willing to sacrifice the ultra-quiet (some may call it “numb”) ride of the Camry, then your decision is made.
The Altima Hybrid runs on conventional gasoline and a traction motor. The basic vehicle systems and features of the Altima Hybrid are the same as those of the conventional Altima, except where noted in this guide. The Altima Hybrid has an EPA fuel economy of 35 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway and, when combined with the 20-gallon fuel tank, you could be looking at 700 miles between fill-ups. That definitely helps the family fuel budget. The Altima Hybrid is a strange bird, a very strange bird indeed. Nissan signed a deal with Toyota back in 2002 to license its Hybrid Synergy Drive technology for use in the Altima Hybrid, but will be dropping the Toyota bits as soon as an in-house team can develop its own hybrid technology.
The Altima Hybrid shares exterior and interior designs with the other 2007 Altima models ? 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. The Altima Hybrid is offered in one model, the Altima Hybrid, and with several optional equipment packages. Standard equipment includes the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and hybrid electric components, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), eCVT transmission, 4-wheel power-assisted disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), electric power rack-and-pinion steering, 4-wheel independent suspension, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and, new for 2008 standard splash guards and Diversity Antenna.
The Altima Hybrid is the latest in a long line of Nissan environmental automotive initiatives. Nissan was the first automaker to introduce a partial zero emission vehicle (PZEV) with its Sentra CA in 2000. The Altima Hybrid has a hybrid system net power rating of 198 horsepower (148 kW). Acceleration from zero to 60 mph is estimated at about 0.5 seconds quicker than a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder equipped Altima. The Altima hybrid will make its debut late in 2006 for the 2007 selling season. Nissan has signed an agreement with archrival Toyota to produce 100,000 vehicles over 5 years using Toyota's transaxle, inverter, battery and control unit.
The Altima Hybrid even stops as smart as it goes, capturing braking momentum and converting it to electrical energy to recharge the battery. The Altima Hybrid also offers all-new distinctive styling and a roomy, comfortable, full-featured, high-quality interior. The Altima Hybrid will reach dealerships in early 2007, following the November 2006 introduction of the 2007 Altima 2.5-liter 4-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 gasoline powered models. The Altima Hybrid has a hybrid system net power rating of 198 horsepower (148 kW). Acceleration from zero to 60 mph is estimated at about 0.5 seconds quicker than a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder equipped Altima.
The Altima Hybrid's emissions of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide are considerably reduced when compared with the non-hybrid models. Although this won't put more money in your pocket, it will give you that satisfying feeling that you're doing your part in the fight to prevent global warming. The Altima Hybrid is reported to get 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, with the 20-gallon gas tank theoretically allowing 700 miles between fill-ups. The conventional part of the powertrain uses Nissan’s 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine, re-tuned for hybrid use to produce 158 hp and mated to a CVT transmission. The Altima hybrid is going to be built in Smyrna, Tennessee, marking the first foreign company to produce a hybrid vehicle domestically. Hyundai is rumored to be offering its Accent Hybrid at a lower retail price than the current options on the market, thereby expanding the potential buying pool, and interest, in hybrid vehicles.
The Altima Hybrid even stops as smart as it goes, capturing braking momentum and converting it to electrical energy to recharge the battery. The Altima Hybrid will be available is all states by 2008. The Altima hybrid has a state of the art, continuously variable transmission, or CVT, which allows the gasoline engine to operate in its most effective ranges while providing smooth shifting. This sedan has style, class, and a new green package, so be on the lookout for this new hybrid.
The Altima hybrid sounds like it is finally trying to help consumers make sure they are getting their money's worth (in addition to the environmental benefits). I'm also hopeful that the Volt concept car makes it into production in some form. The Altima Hybrid has a sporting style, but is not really a high performance vehicle. Yet, it can hold its own very well in the acceleration and handling departments. The Altima Hybrid is on its way, coming to market some time in 2006 as a 2007 model.
The Altima hybrid is sold only in California and the seven eastern states that share the California Air Resources Board’s air-quality statutes, which is a shame because it delivers hybrid efficiency in a stylish, pleasurable-to-drive sedan. The Altima hybrid delivers similar fuel economy numbers to those of the Camry hybrid, which isn’t surprising considering Nissan licensed Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive for the effort.
