In 2004, Nissan partnered up with Toyota for the unveiling of the Altima Hybrid prototype. This mid-size, fuel-efficient sedan was set to release at the end of 2006 with mechanical components manufactured by the company’s main Japanese rival. The two international brands agreed back in 2002 to produce 100,000 vehicles together within a five-year period.
Environmentally-friendly models give off lower CO2 emissions and cleaner exhaust gas. Essentially, they are best used in big cities where pollution is high. Engineers are Nissan saw the potential for expanding this type of automobile and continued developing their own high-tech solutions.
If you are looking to go green, consider the 2018 Nissan Rogue Hybrid SV. Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor, this five-seater generates 176 hp. Equipped with all-wheel drive, it gets an astonishing 34 mpg combined (33 city/35 highway).
The SV trim level includes 7-inch steel wheels and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling. Top-of-the-line safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, and automatic emergency braking help to prevent accidents on the road.
