The Altima hybrid is sold only in California and the seven eastern states that share Cali’s CARB air-quality statutes, which is a shame as it delivers hybrid efficiency in a stylish, pleasurable-to-drive sedan. The Altima hybrid delivers similar fuel economy numbers to the Camry hybrid, which isn’t surprising considering Nissan licensed Toyota’s Synergy Drive for the effort. Paired with Nissan’s 2.5-liter gasoline engine, the Altima hybrid returns performance numbers better than the standard model. It delivers on its sporty looks and design-forward interior with a fun, enthusiastic chassis and precise steering. If the name “Camry” makes your inner rebel cringe, you’d do well to consider the Altima hybrid.
