2011 Nissan Altima Hybrid

Nissan never tired to presenting hybrid vehicles, such as has just presenting the Nissan Leaf NISMO RC Concept at the 2011 New York International Auto Show on April 20th. Now, turn the Nissan Altima Hybrid in the U.S. as the Japanese automaker plans to drop the gasoline-electric hybrid model from its lineup at the end of the 2011 model year.

The hybrid sedan hasn’t been much of a success for Nissan as only 35,000 units have been sold in the States since its introduction in the market in 2007. Aside from the somewhat disappointing sales, Nissan’s decision may also have to do with the fact that the Nissan Altima Hybrid utilizes a hybrid system sourced from rival Toyota. Nissan has since developed its own hybrid system with a new lithium-ion battery that made its debut on the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid.

This means Nissan may be readying a new version of the Altima Hybrid equipped with its own gasoline-electric powertrain system.
