Overview & Reviews
The 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid is all-new. The main difference between it and all other Altima models is that it has a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain that provides exceptional fuel economy. The Altima Hybrid also benefits from the 2007 Altima's full redesign.
- High fuel economy, attractive cabin design with quality materials, generous interior room, sharp steering.
- Only available in eight states, pricey packages with no à la carte options, mediocre comfort levels in backseat.

Great Car and a Hybrid Too - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By steve11554 - December 8 - 7:36 amI have had the hybrid for over a year and so far have not had any problems and the gas mileage is better than advertised if you take advantage of the cars mechanics. In a Long Island to NYC trip I will average 44 mpg and in highway driving at around 60-62 mph I can get 40 mpg (summer time). Accelerating smoothly to 40 mph and then letting the electric motor coast you at 39-40 mph on electric only in afternoon traffic works really well. Putting the cruise control on also improves mileage at highway speeds. But if you need acceleration it is available.

Comfort to sit and fun to drive - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By akshan - November 10 - 8:00 amI traded in my 2005 Toyota Highlander SUV V6 4WD, as its mileage was only 17 to 19. The change is dramatic in relation to gas mileage but not to the level I desired. I get average 33 MPG (2500 miles so far). EV works for few miles, but then if you need a sudden boost, mileage drops down (V6 to I4 is a big change, but not missing in this Altima). Feels like a luxury sedan.

why does my car creak? - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By lynn - July 15 - 8:53 pmI bought this car brand new - got a great price and almost 0 percent financing. I love the way it looks - dark blue is the classiest color. Everyone loves driving and being a passenger in my car. I frequently carpool four large teenagers and no one ever complains bout room in the back seat. The problem is in the sounds. After the first few months i noticed a creaking noise. I feel as though it is coming from the glove compartment, the passenger often tells me it is coming from the drivers side. I have had the car in 5 or 6 times and the dealer tells me it is coming from the cup holder (weve tried removing it), they have tightened the bolts on the dashboard. It is an unsolved mystery

We LOVE this car! - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By Deb - June 20 - 8:36 pmMy family trades cars about every 2 years. This Altima is a KEEPER. Who would have thought you could get great mileage in a roomy car that doesnt look like a cheese wedge? We are averaging between 35 and 36 mpg. It would probably be higher except that I do stop and go driving. We feel so safe with the front & side airbags. Acceleration is quick and braking dependable. Beautiful lines, quality fit and finish.

By Dan - June 19 - 10:36 pmI purchased a Toyota Highlander for my wife a few years back and felt the only new car for me was Toyota. I was so close to buying the Camry Hybrid but after reading reviews here, I tested the Altima. Sold! Im a big guy at 64 230 lbs and the comfort in the Altima is far superior to the Camry. Gas mileage is great at 38. And I think it looks much better than the Camry.

Nissan Hybrid - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By greenauto - April 20 - 10:53 pmBeautiful car that is fun to drive. Lots of interior room and high quality finish outside and inside. Love the keyless function. Never have to take keys out of pocket. The trunk is, however, 1/3 smaller than the non- hybrid model. Great acceleration with the combined almost 200 hp. Also a very quiet and smooth ride with the CVT transmission. Fuel economy a little less than I had hoped for, 31 mpg combined driving in sunny San Diego.

Very happy owner - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By db5007 - January 19 - 1:36 amI was hesitant to write a review since I feel like Ive stumbled onto a great secret.. however, good work deserves to be recognized. This car drives and feels like a luxury sedan. I purchased the technology package which increased the msrp but I still feel its well worth the price. I am surprised I havent seen more reviews or people talking about this car online. I always wanted a Hybrid, but wasnt a big fan of the Prius or Civics design. For me, the Altima had the whole package.

Satisfied with 40 mpg - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By Larry - January 3 - 11:50 amBought the car new in 2007 and have maintained all oil changes with 0-20w full synth. oil and drive mostly highway miles. Continuous driving on trips of 8 plus hours. Was amazed that the car was producing 40 miles to the gallon on the highway. These trips are on the west coast over mountains and super curved roads. So far the window sticker was right about the MPG except in the reverse. Better on the highway.

Best car EVER! - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By Artemis - July 20 - 11:16 pmThere are 5 cars in our driveway, yet the Altima Hybrid is the family favorite. The styling is classy yet sporty and the ride is luxurious. The quiet hybrid engine took getting used to, especially compared to our attention-getting souped up BMW Roadster. The car steers on a dime, the Bose sound system is amazing, and the seats are uber comfortable.

Altima Hybrid - 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
By joha - March 2 - 3:26 amThe Altima Hybrid is a very good car. In my first 600 miles of mixed freeway and local driving, I got 34.1 mpg. This is less than I hoped, but much better than non-hybrid cars of similar size and performance. There are a few problems. The gas engine is rough and the ecu has the engine running too much in local driving. The placement of the big battery creates a small trunk that is tall but short front to back. Long items cannot be carried. I have the base model with strange and limited instruments. The speedometer goes to 160 mph, so only the first half is usable, with hard to read gradations. There is no tachometer and no temp guage.
