Overview
Cars like the 2011 Nissan Altima Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Altima Hybrid uses its 2.5L Inline-4 engine, a single-motor hybrid system, and a 244.8V Ni-MH battery to produce 198 horsepower. This gives the Altima Hybrid a 0-60 of 7.6 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the Altima Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 33 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Altima Hybrid competes with the Ford Fusion Hybrid Sedan, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and the Kia Optima Hybrid Sedan. It offers only one trim with a base of MSRP of $26,800.
