Nissan recently began selling in Mississauga, Ontario, its first-ever Canadian Altima Hybrids. Dixie Nissan Ltd. became the first dealership in the country to offer this new environmentally-friendly model. While offering style, convenience, comfort and the same build quality as the other 2007 Altimas, the hybrid variant enhances fuel economy and performance and reduces toxic emissions.


In terms of technology, the Altima Hybrid features an advanced hybrid-electric powertrain, a nickel metal hydrate battery pack, a hybrid management system as well as a 2.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Despite a fairly high combined output (198 hp), the car has a fuel economy rating as low as 5.6 L/100 km in the city and 5.9 L/100 km on the highway. The best of both worlds, you might say! Nissan's new D-platform could help the Altima Hybrid become one of the top high-performance FWD sedans on the planet.

The Japanese automaker has announced a base price of $32,998, which is an interesting proposition considering the increased comfort, roomy interior and high quality.
