A diverse lineup includes the hot-selling Altima, quirky Cube, and rugged Pathfinder.
Nissan Altima Hybrid
The hybrid version of the 2010 Altima gets the same new face as the standard gas-powered one. It offers consumers more fuel-efficient transportation with traditional sedan looks and sport sedan performance, which is a rarity in the hybrid segment. City fuel economy is quite a bit better than the gas-powered 4-cylinder Altima, but the hybrid's price premium is not insignificant. If you want one, hopefully you live near California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island or Vermont, because those are the only states where Nissan sells them.
