Every Altima Hybrid model year from 2007 to 2011, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: Altima (2004–2025).
Across 5 scored model years the Altima Hybrid rarely gives trouble, but repairs run costlier than average when it does. The spread between years is what matters: 2010 is its strongest, 2009 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size Passenger Car sold that same model year.

Across all 5 model years on record, the line has held a middling position in its class. The recent trend is upward.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Altima Hybrid model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2009–2011), the trouble concentrates in one place: steering & suspension. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size Passenger Car of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
