2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Introducing the 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid, the most advanced Altima ever. It's what happens when the passionate engineers at Nissan decide to build a benchmark sedan that's as responsive as it is responsible. And with forward-thinking features like standard Intelligent Key with push-button ignition, Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT), available touch-screen navigation system with voice recognition and RearView Monitor, and a even Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, it's still every bit a Nissan. (Altima Hybrid will be available in CA, CT, MA, ME, NJ, NY, RI and VT,).

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 adjustments along the way, has simply transplanted the hybrid system and drivability into its own product: same all-electric launch, quiet ride, and slick dashboard that monitors the shifting of energy between gas engine, electric motor, and rechargeable batteries.

With Altima Hybrid's outstanding 42 MPG efficiency and a range of over 700 miles of city driving per tank, you get more clean-burning, fuel-sipping performance per fill-up.
Altima Hybrid's energy drive shares work duties between an ultra-clean 2.5-liter full hybrid gas engine and an emissions-free electric motor. Capable of driving at low speeds solely on the electric motor, reserving the gas engine for higher speed efficiency, or a combination of both to make driving a cleaner experience, without compromising power.

Altima Hybrid surpasses Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) standards, plus meets Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) requirements, including near-zero evaporative emissions and a 15-year/150,000-mile warranty on emission-control equipment. Finally, thanks to its advanced hybrid drivetrain, the Altima Hybrid is also classified as an ultra-clean, AT-PZEV vehicle.
