Toyota Prius C Versus non-hybrid compacts and subcompacts

 

January 11, 2005  
Nissan will also make hybrid cars in U.S.

Nissan will start producing the Nissan Altima hybrid in the United States in 2006.

Similar to the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Altima hybrid will be built with leased Toyota hybrid technology.

Nissan has stated in the past that they would lease hybrid technology in the short term, to meet customer demand, while finalizing their own hybrid system.

According to initial reports, Nissan is planning to produce about 100,000 Altima hybrids over the next 5 years.

Nissan becomes the second Japanese automaker to announce hybrid car production in the U.S.. Earlier this week, Toyota confirmed plans to also build hybrids in the U.S. next year.

Neither company has announced where exactly these cars will be produced. Some have speculated that California might be the location as over 40% of all Toyota Prius sales take place in California.

At this time, Toyota hasn't confirmed that it will produce the Prius in the U.S., though it hinted strongly towards that move.

In April, Toyota will be releasing the Lexus RX 400h hybrid SUV, followed by the Toyota Highlander Hybrid just a few months later. Additionally, Toyota has announced plans for a 2006 Lexus GS Sedan hybrid.

Perhaps one of those vehicles will also be added to the mix as well.
