Bringing a New Level of Performance and Style to the Hybrid Market

The all-new 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid offers the style, convenience, comfort, quality, performance, and technology features of the next-generation 2007 Altima, plus the added benefits of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.

The Altima Hybrid is Nissan’s first production gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, and combines an advanced electric motor/generator, a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) high voltage battery, a refined version of Nissan’s QR25 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, and a standard electronically controlled hybrid transaxle with advanced electric drive motor/generators. The combination of the two power sources results in net power of 148 kW (198 hp), low emissions, and enhanced fuel economy (42 mpg City/36 mpg Highway). With Altima’s standard 20-gallon fuel tank, the hybrid has a projected driving range of up to 700 miles between fill-ups.

The advanced hybrid drive system manages both the gasoline-powered 4-cylinder engine and the emissions-free electric motor, allowing the Altima Hybrid to run solely on electric power if appropriate, especially during stop-and-go driving. If extra performance is needed, the gasoline engine starts instantly and smoothly adds power as required. The gasoline-engine-driven electric motor/generator, plus regenerative braking recharge the high voltage battery while driving. The battery never needs to be “plugged-in.”

Rated as an Advanced Technology-Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), the Altima Hybrid meets California emissions requirements and will be sold in states that have adopted California emissions regulations: California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Like all 2007 Altima models, the Altima Hybrid is built on the all-new Nissan D platform, which is designed to make Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive sedans in the world. 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.
