Test Drive – 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid (HD)


category: Hybrid Cars


What Edmunds.com says The 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid is an excellent choice for drivers who want a little fun between point A and point B. Too bad it’s only sold in the eight states that have adopted California’s emissions standards. Pros Excellent fuel economy, sporty handling, precise steering, top-notch interior materials, high crash test scores. Cons Can only be obtained in eight states, options are only offered in expensive packages, so-so backseat comfort. What’s New for 2009 The 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid remains unchanged from the previous year, except for standard automatic door locks and four more exterior color choices. 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid Vehicle Overview Introduction Hybrids and other green cars, though known for being economical and earth-friendly, have a reputation for also being rather slow, odd-looking and uninspiring behind the wheel. Bucking the trend is the 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid. Although it has the outward appearance and driving manners of a conventional sedan, the Altima Hybrid sips fuel while keeping harmful emissions to a minimum. Borrowing heavily from rival Toyota’s parts bin via a licensing agreement, the Nissan Altima Hybrid shares a fair amount of technology and components with the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It has a Nissan engine — a revised version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the regular Altima and a specialized continuously variable transmission (CVT). These improvements result in a more refined powertrain with better acceleration

  17. euroshf on July 29th, 2010 8:34 am

    450-500 miles per 20 gallon tank is what I get on my nonhybryd Altima.The hybrid should get 600+,of course it all depends on how its driven

  18. doeyaos on July 29th, 2010 8:44 am

    Hey its a nice altima for a person who wants to save, she said 400 miles but mine gives me about 550 miles per tank, with 140 hp gas and 40 hp electric motor working together, so about? 180 hp for an altima that gives you around 550 miles per tank, id say thats not the best but not the worst….

    hehe I actually laughed.

    Can’t blame her for putting effort though.

    “first hybrid that drives like a nissan”? not all nissans are gtr’s and 370zs. my mom has a nissan altima regular, and she averages about 400 miles, and it drives like shit. absolute shit.

    i can’t imagine that adding about 300 lbs of batteries would improve the driving dynamics.
