Nissan’s First Hybrid: More Vroom For Less Zoom-Zoom

Last week, Nissan announced a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $24,400 for the 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid, the company’s first entry in the hybrid electric/gas vehicle market.

It’s now on sale at Nissan retailers in the eight states that have adopted California emissions regulations and has been certified by the IRS as meeting the requirements for the Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit to qualify for a tax credit of $2,350.

EPA fuel economy is estimated at 42 mpg City and 36 mpg Highway. It’s also rated as an Advanced Technology-Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) and emits almost no evaporative emissions.
