Why are the fuel economy different on the altima and the altima coupe?

by admin on March 30, 2010



For the 2007 2.5S with automatic transmission, the EPA fuel estimate is 26/34. However, the altima coupe with xtronic cvt fuel estimate is 23/31. The engine is the same and the coupe is smaller and lighter. And at the dealerships, they have the fuel estimate at 21/26. Whats going on?

The estimate formulas have recently changed to a new standard that gives a lower reading. Search for more information on it.

it is possible you seen the numbers for the model with the bigger engine. the altima coupe has a 6 cylinder like the 350z but it is slightly tuned down about 25 or 30hp.
