What engines are available to 2017 the Nissan Altima?
Balancing out fuel efficiency and power is a delicate line to walk. The devil on your shoulder is prodding you with his pitchfork, hissing more power MORE POWER while the angle is rubbing his index finger and thumb together, reminding you that efficiency saves money. And when it comes to your everyday driver or family car, midsize sedans in particular, how can you bridal as many ponies as possible without constantly wasting time and money at the gas station?

Each generation of Nissan Altima becomes more and more successful at mastering this balance, and that’s precisely why we’d like to tell you more about what engines are available to the 2017 Nissan Altima.

Is there a Nissan Altima Hybrid?
There is! But…sorry to get your hopes up….but it’s not available anymore. A hybrid version of the Altima was produced at one point in time, but was recently killed off. While no new models will be available, you can always purchase one used. Speaking of Altima models that have been put to rest, there also is the coupe. It too is available as a used model because it could not keep up with the production of the best-selling sedan version.
