Electric Drive – Without the Plug

First launched in the UK four years ago, Nissan’s e-POWER system combines the smooth, instant response of an EV with the range and convenience of a petrol engine. Unlike conventional hybrids, the petrol engine doesn’t drive the wheels – it generates electricity for the electric motor, ensuring instant acceleration and quiet, refined performance.

Key Improvements with New e-POWER

  • Fuel Economy: Up to 62mpg (WLTP) – best in class, with a potential range of 745 miles
  • CO₂ Emissions: Reduced to 102g/km, a 12% drop from the current model
  • Noise Reduction: Cabin noise lowered by up to 5.6dB for true EV-like refinement
  • Performance Boost: +10kW increase in Sport Mode for a more responsive drive
