The new X-Trail will be the second model in Nissan's European range to be equipped with the brand's innovative e‑POWER drive system. Exclusive to Nissan, the e-POWER system is a unique approach to electrification, offering the EV-drive feeling without the need to recharge.First introduced in Japan on the Note in 2017, it went on to become the best-selling car, with customers loving its combination of smooth, effortless performance and cable-free ownership.The new X-Trail's e-POWER system is comprised of a high-output battery and powertrain integrated with a variable compression ratio petrol engine, power generator, inverter and 150kW front electric motor. This unique powertrain means that power to the wheels comes only from an electric motor, which results in instant, linear response to the accelerator.To meet the typical demands of European consumers and their daily drive, the e-POWER installation has been significantly upgraded for the new X-Trail. The application in the Japanese Note featured a 1.2 petrol engine charging the battery unit, with a final power output of 106hp. For Europe it has been upgraded to a 1.5-litre Variable Compression Ratio turbo petrol engine, with a final system power output of 150kW (204PS).The unique element of e-POWER is that the petrol engine is used solely to generate electricity, whilst the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor. This means the engine can always run within its optimal range, leading to superior fuel efficiency in urban settings

Nissan has started production of the Townstar EV. The all-electric variant of the new compact van is based on Allianz's CMF-C platform and is manufactured at the center of excellence for vans in Maubeuge, France.With the Townstar EV, Nissan is taking another important step towards realizing the Nissan Ambition 2030 and the company's goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. The model is coming to Europe this fall, building on the success of the Nissan e-NV200. Nissan leverages its experience in the electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) segment and has further expanded its strengths in the areas of performance, reliability and sustainability.The all-electric variant of the Townstar has an optimized powertrain with intelligent energy management and battery cooling. Thanks to its aerodynamic body elements and the associated efficiency, the Townstar can achieve a range of over 300 kilometers (according to WLTP) depending on the equipment line. The electric motor has an output of 90 kW/122 hp and develops 245 Nm of torque. The 45 kWh battery can be charged with AC (11 kW or 22 kW) or with DC via the CCS connector. The latter enables charging from 15 to 80 percent in just 37 minutes.The Townstar is characterized by a fresh and modern design in the current Nissan style. The tailor-made front apron features an intricate kumiko pattern that reflects the model's Japanese DNA and gives the vehicle a high-quality character.In the interior, customer satisfaction and ergonomics come first. More than 20 technologies, including a 10-inch digital instrument display and integrated connectivity services, make the Townstar EV the most advanced van in the brand's LCV portfolio.
Clear the stage for the new Nissan X-Trail: With the European premiere of the fourth model generation, the Japanese brand's electrifying product offensive is entering the next round.The new edition of the X-Trail, available as a five- and seven-seater, picks up on the proven DNA that has characterized the family vehicle for 20 years now: A sporty, muscular design meets high utility and advanced all-wheel drive. This means that the SUV, which has sold almost seven million units worldwide to date, remains the ideal companion for adventures with the whole family.With the alliance's new CMF-C platform, which combines a modern chassis architecture with innovative drive technologies, the new X-Trail raises the bar in the crossover segment again. The electrified drive technology guarantees maximum driving dynamics and maximum driving pleasure.
The Qashqai, which is regarded as a pioneer in the crossover segment, is once again setting standards: the compact bestseller is the first Nissan model in Europe to feature the unique e-POWER drive.The system, which was developed independently by the company, offers the advantages of purely electric driving without having to worry about range and long charging times. In contrast to conventional hybrid vehicles, the electric motor, which responds immediately and linearly, always drives the wheels. The energy is supplied by a battery, which a small combustion engine charges while driving.
