Nissan is equipping its compact coupé crossover Juke with a hybrid drive for the first time. The advanced system combines direct power delivery and an active driving experience with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.Thanks to its multimodal hybrid drive, the Juke Hybrid combines efficiency, responsiveness and harmonious driving characteristics. Drivers and passengers will experience pure electric launch, smooth driveability in all conditions and excellent fuel economy. This combination is made possible thanks to the intelligent multimodal transmission, efficient brake energy regeneration and the high-performance battery.In developing the hybrid powertrain, the focus was on complementing and preserving the agile and dynamic character of the Juke that has made the coupe crossover a modern Nissan icon.
The electrification of the Nissan model range is progressing. The compact crossover Juke with a new hybrid drive can now be ordered at prices starting at 31,090 euros. The advanced electrified powertrain reduces emissions and fuel consumption while also impressing with driving pleasure and direct response.The internal combustion engine in the Juke was specially developed for use in a hybrid system. It delivers 69 kW (94 hp) and develops a maximum torque of 148 Nm. It is supported by an electric motor with 36 kW (49 hp) and a torque of 205 Nm. In addition, the system consists of a 15 kW starter generator, an inverter and a water-cooled 1.2 kWh battery. All in all, the powertrain offers 25 percent more power than the current petrol engine, while reducing fuel consumption by around 40 percent in city driving and up to 20 percent in mixed traffic (figures subject to homologation).The expected fuel consumption of the Juke Hybrid is 5.0 to 5.2 liters per 100 kilometers, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 114 to 117 grams per kilometer (depending on equipment; consumption and emission values are subject to homologation).
A new addition to the family of the world bestseller: With the new Corolla Cross, Toyota is presenting a practical compact SUV for the whole family. The new model gives the brand an even stronger presence in the European C segment and the widest range of SUVs across all segments. In addition, the Corolla family is now complete: With the new Corolla Cross, the classic hatchback model and the Touring Sports estate variant, there really is “a Corolla for everyone”. Sales in Germany will start on November 25, 2022 at prices from 38,600 euros. The 2.0-liter hybrid version with front or all-wheel drive is available at market launch, while the 1.8-liter hybrid, which is always driven by the front wheels, will be available from the second quarter of 2023.The Toyota Corolla Cross is based on the proven GA-C platform (Global Architecture) and offers all the features that have made the Corolla the best-selling car model in the world: Toyota has sold more than 50 million units in 55 years and twelve model generations . With the new Corolla Cross, the brand intends to further expand its presence in the highly competitive European C segment. Toyota aims to sell 400,000 units per year worldwide, which corresponds to a nine percent segment share by 2025.An advanced hybrid drive, advanced connectivity and new safety features: the Corolla Cross sets new standards in many areas. The compact SUV's Toyota T-Mate system combines the latest generation of Toyota Safety Sense safety technologies with other active driving and parking assistance systems to make driving easier and safer and to protect all vehicle occupants and other road users in various scenarios.
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
