Fuel Efficiency in the 2010 Nissan Altima

Each year, the Nissan Altima is one of the world's best selling mid-size sedans. The automobile sells well largely because of its reputation for reliability and also because of its competitive fuel economy. The 2010 version of this car comes with various engine and style options, each of which comes with different fuel economy ratings.





One of the best selling versions of the 2010 Nissan Altima is a four-door sedan which comes with 4 cylinder 2.5 liter engine, and an automatic transmission. This version of the car gets an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated 23 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. If the sedan with automatic transmission is upgraded to a 6 cylinder 3.5 liter engine, EPA estimated efficiency drops to 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway.




The 2010 automobile can also come as a two-door coupe. The coupe comes with the same engine options as the four-door sedan and it receive similar gas ratings. If either version of the Altima is matched with a manual transmission, highway gas mileage will remain the same, but city fuel efficiency will fall off by about 10%.
For those looking for even more impressive fuel efficiency, the 2010 Nissan Altima can come as a hybrid. The hybrid version of this year's model get a very impressive EPA estimated 35 miles per gallon while driving in the city and 33 miles per gallon while driving on the highway. The hybrid Altima comes standard with a 2.5-liter, four cylinder engine and an automatic transmission.
