“a Camry hybrid with sex appeal”
Los Angeles Times
Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com were impressed with the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid’s style.
The Los Angeles Times thinks the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid “might be thought of as a Camry hybrid with sex appeal.” Since its 2007 restyling, Nissan tweaked the shape in a very minor way, “an effort that has merely refined the car's well-loved, cleanly architectural styling: the perfect-arch roofline, the raked windshield, the close-fitting wheel openings and glassine details at the corners.” Cars.com agrees: “You get a ton of style with the new Altima. Those taillights are pretty amazing.”
Cars.com notes that the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid is virtually identical to the standard Altima; Nissan outfits both models with "a notched grille, swanky taillight capsules and dual exhaust." Motor Trend observes, “’Hybrid’ badging aside, this tech-rich Altima is a visual clone.”
The 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid’s interior gets compliments, too. “It's much nicer and more grown-up,” Edmunds says, “though still not quite up to world-class standards.”
When comparing the 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid to other hybrids, reviewers enjoy the sportier look. Autoblog agrees: "Of the hybrids available on the market today, the Altima Hybrid would be the one sitting in our green garage."
Conclusion
The 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid looks like a regular-model Altima, and that's a good thing.
