Altima HybridNissan announced the base MSRP for the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid has been set at $25,070. With only eight states selling the hybrid version of the Altima (California, Connecticut, Maine, Mass, NJ, NY, Rhode Island and Vermont), the Altima Hybrid at any price is going to have limited sales.

Nissan upped the price tag of the 2007 Altima Hybrid by $590 to $24,990 back in April. So, the 2008 pricetag has gone up only $80.

Buying the Altima Hybrid still qualifies the new owner for a tax credit of up to $2,350.

A recent review of the three hybrid sedans (Aura, Camry and Altima) by Edmunds placed the Altima Hybrid in second place, despite it being the "personal choice for every editor who participated in the test."

The Altima Hybrid comes with four choices in packages:
  • Convenience Package ($1,300)
  • Connection Package ($4,400)
  • Power Sliding Glass Moonroof ($850)
  • Technology Package ($6,400).
Accessories can be added in as well:
  • Moonroof Wind Deflector ($100)
  • Carpeted Floor Mats (4 Piece) ($110)
  • Aluminum Kick Plate ($170).
