The 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid delivers an appealing combination of midsize sedan interior roominess with hybrid fuel efficiency, plus the athletic responses and braking performance that distinguish the Altima among its contemporaries.
The Altima Hybrid’s battery pack and other hybrid hardware add almost 400 pounds to curb weight and reduce trunk space by about 50 percent. And if you want a hybrid that can’t be mistaken for anything else, such as Toyota’s Prius, the Altima may not send a strong enough visual message.
