Nissan prices 2007 Altima Hybrid (#)

„Nissan has, in fact, licensed the hybrid technology from Toyota to create the Altima Hybrid. The fact that Nissan is selling the Altima Hybrid (even in select states) allows them to boast that they're offering "green" options. Based on the price point and the fact the technology is licensed from Toyota, their margins on the Altima Hybrid are probably minimal if not negative - not surprised they haven't rolled this vehicle out for sale in all states ...“

Nissan's first hybrid debuts - Auto News Feature - Motor Trend (#)

„The automaker had taken a dim view of hybrids until recently, but like many jealous automakers, has watched Toyota's hybrid successes and wanted in on the party. The hybrid Altima was a compromise of sorts for Nissan because it uses parts sourced from Toyota, an avowed Japanese rival. Nissan is clearly not thrilled about using Toyota technology, but felt it needed to get a hybrid vehicle to market quickly and Nissan realized it needed Toyota's expertise to make it happen.“

Not All Hybrids are Hot - AutoWeek (#)

„Price and EPA fuel economy ratings also may be a factor. The Accord Hybrid starts at $31,685, including shipping, while the Civic Hybrid starts at $23,195, including shipping. The Accord Hybrid is EPA rated at 28 mpg in city driving and 35 mpg on the highway, not much better than a base model four-cylinder Accord's 24/34 ratings. The Civic Hybrid, at 49 mpg city and 51 mpg highway, shows a big gain over the gasoline-powered Civic's 30/40 rating.“

Rustle the Leaf (#)

„Yes, of course it's an incredibly short-sighted perspective, but legislators in those states were so freaked out by the potential revenue loss that they began entertaining ideas that included adding a surtax to hybrid cars, or charging hybrid owners by the mile for their driving. How would the number of miles be tracked, you ask? Why, they'd put Global Positioning Systems in hybrids and bill them for the miles driven, as recorded by a satellite tracking system (I'm not making this up).“

2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - Auto Shows - Car and Driver February 2007 (#)

„Joining the all-new 2008 Toyota Highlander at the Toyota stand in Chicago is the fuel-efficient hybrid version of the new Highlander. Like the previous Highlander hybrid, the latest hybrid version is powered by a 3.3-liter V-6 and two electric motors (one motor powers the front wheels while a smaller electric motor powers the rear wheels). The engine and the front electric motor are both coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which is the only transmission available ...“

2005 SUV Comparisons, Road Tests & Reviews - Motor Trend (#)

„Even though Ford fell short on this claim, its 2005 Escape Hybrid is a major piece of the plan to improve the automaker's truck-corporate-average fuel economy, and--of equal importance--its image. Ford has won the race to market with the world's first production hybrid gas/electric-powered sport/utility, having beat the Lexus RX 400h by about half a year. The Escape Hybrid was launched last fall just as oil-producing and exporting-country prices were breaching $50 per barrel ...“

Volkswagen revises hybrid plans, focuses on Touareg | Car News Blog at Motor Trend (#)

„It appears that Volkswagen is changing course regarding its hybrid powertrain policy. Under Bernd Pischetsrieder, VW's recently sacked CEO, the plan reportedly was to introduce hybrid versions of lower-end models such as the Golf and Jetta, but that has been deemed to expensive to be successful by the incoming regime. According to the German publication Automobilwoche, the automaker's first hybrid-powered vehicle will be the Touareg SUV. “

2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid - New Car, Truck, and SUV Drivens and Reviews - Automobile Magazine (#)

„Ann Arbor If the Accord Hybrid--Honda's quickest Accord--is the athlete of mid-size hybrid sedans and the Toyota Camry, with its technology-laden cabin and fuel-sipping efficiency, is the brainiac, then the new Altima Hybrid strives to be the multitalented golden child who pleases everyone. Everyone, that is, in the low-emissions states in which it will be sold: California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, and Rhode Island.“

2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid - Road Test & First Drive - Motor Trend (#)

„Nissan starts with its own 2.5-liter gas-powered I-4; the assisting electric motor gives it more oomph and also serves as the starter. Rather than spend gazillions to develop its own hybrid drive system, Nissan has licensed the technology and will purchase some of the components from Toyota. Even though these two industrial giants are archrivals, the move makes sense: Nissan comes to market quicker and with a proven system, while Toyota recaptures some of its considerable hybrid-tech investment.“

„Assisting the revamped engine is a two-mode electric motor that sends power to the rear wheels (while the other engine powers the front). Like many hybrids, this 9-3 uses a continuously variable transmission and regenerative braking and because it is a two-mode, the BioPower Hybrid can accelerate using electricity only. This "Zero Mode" can be activated with a dashboard switch, and will power the vehicle up to about 32 mph while locking out activation of the gas engine ...“

The Civic marches past Honda's first hybrid, the Insight, in almost every area except its near-$20,000 base price.

Country's 14th Hybrid Car Unveiled: Nissan's 2007 Altima - Popular Mechanics (#)

„The Altima Hybrid is reported to get 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, with the 20-gallon gas tank theoretically allowing 700 miles between fill-ups. The conventional part of the powertrain uses Nissan’s 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine, re-tuned for hybrid use to produce 158 hp and mated to a CVT transmission.

„The electric/hybrid has to be built to American driving conditions and attitudes. A plug-in electric vehicle with more powerful batteries and capable of higher speeds (60 mph minimum before the gas burner kicks-in) is what American manufacturers need to introduce. There has to be a way to recharge quickly or even replace them at a fuel stop (pull-up, slide the old battery pack out, a new one in, pay the man and drive away with a 64 oz humongous gulp in hand).“
