Nissan Hikes Price on 2008 Altima Hybrid -- a Bit

Date posted: 08-28-2007

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The jockeying for the sweet spot in the hybrid-sedan-pricing strategy continued among the Japanese automakers on Monday, as Nissan announced a modest price hike on the 2008 Altima Hybrid. The car is on sale now.

The 2008 Altima Hybrid will start at $25,695, including a $625 destination charge, undercutting its rival the 2008 Toyota Camry by $165. And that's despite the fact that Toyota slashed $1,000 off the Camry Hybrid's sticker price for the new model year.

The 2008 Altima Hybrid looks identical to the outgoing model. Changes are modest and include standard splash guards and a Diversity antenna. Options on the '08 Altima Hybrid include a $6,400 technology package, an $850 power moonroof and a $1,300 convenience package.

What this means to you: A nearly inconsequential price increase on the 2008 Altima Hybrid.
