Nissan has announced that cumulative global production of its e-POWER vehicles surpassed 1.5 million units as of the end of October. At present, e-POWER vehicles are sold in 68 markets around the world.
A unique Nissan technology, e-POWER uses a small-capacity gasoline engine and lithium-ion battery to power an electric motor – the electric motor alone drives the wheels. This results in an electric-vehicle driving experience, characterized by powerful and responsive acceleration yet quietness.
Nissan launched e-POWER first in Japan in 2016 with the Note e-POWER. Availability of the innovative powertrain has since been expanded to the Kicks and X-Trail sport-utility vehicles and the Serena minivan. In fiscal year 2023, 42.6% of Nissan vehicles sold in Japan were e-POWER.
In China, e-POWER became available in 2021 with the Sylphy e-POWER sedan and it is now also available on the X-Trail SUV.
In Europe, e-POWER versions of the X-Trail and Qashqai SUVs were launched in 2022, with a total of more than 100,000 units sold as of January.
Nissan plans to launch e-POWER in the U.S. and Canada by the end of fiscal year 2026.
Nissan will continue to enhance e-POWER’s appeal and competitiveness to meet the wide-ranging needs of customers around the world.
