The Altima Hybrid will mean something to car buyers in the Green States who want more choice when it comes to hybrid sedans. Up to now, hybrid sedan shoppers were given the option of a Toyota Camry or a Honda Civic Hybrid. Now, at least for awhile, and in select markets, they’ll also have the Altima to compare. That’s potentially big news, as the Altima Hybrid combines Toyota’s technology with Nissan’s new “D” platform, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and their new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Rated as an Advanced Technology-Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), here’s hoping that the Altima Hybrid offers V6-like performance with four-cylinder fuel economy – and at a decent sticker price.
