Nissan has announced six electrified models that will be arriving this Summer.
Hybrid technology will be available on JUKE, e-POWER on Qashqai and X-Trail, and the pure electric Ariya will arrive this summer. What’s more, the electric compact LCV Townstar will be released, as well as revisions to the LEAF.
JUKE Hybrid will have a multi-modal powertrain and smart gearbox offering pure-electric power or a combination of combustion engine and electric motor. Nissan’s innovative e-Pedal Step system allows the driver to accelerate and decelerate the car to a slow creep-speed (~3mph) – enhancing comfort and convenience on the move.
The all-new Qashqai will use e-POWER powertrain technology. The electric-driven motor powers the wheels for instant and linear acceleration, while a small combustion engine recharges the battery on the move.
The X-Trail will use a e-POWER drivetrain and e-4ORCE all-wheel- control technology.
Ariya is Nissan’s first all-electric coupé-crossover and the first vehicle to employ the CMF-EV platform developed by Nissan for the Alliance. Ariya will also feature e-4ORCE, the perfect balance of power and control. The twin-motor system’s seamless power distribution delivers instant response for effortless acceleration in a variety of driving scenarios.
The next generation of Nissan’s fully electric compact LCV offering, the all-new Townstar is designed to be a reliable, efficient and sustainable business partner, optimised to meet customers’ ever-changing needs.
Leveraging synergies with an Alliance platform, the model has been designed with an intelligent blend of efficiency and practicality. Offered with a fully electric powertrain delivering 177mls of range under the WLTP combined cycle, as well as a suite of 20+ technology features, the all-new Townstar is ideal for last-mile deliveries. This next generation compact van helps to future-proof sustainable business operations and accelerate the transition towards electrification.
The LEAF will also receive more efficient powertrain options this year.
