e-POWER TECHNOLOGY

e-POWER is Nissan's Unique Electric-drive Powertrain That Integrates a Gasoline Engine and Motor.
Since the engine only generates electricity and the system is 100% driven by a high-output motor, it is possible to enjoy the driving experience of an EV.
The e-POWER technology uses a specially designed petrol engine to produce electricity, which is stored in a lithium-ion battery and sent to the electric motor to power the vehicle. Simply refuel as you would with a traditional combustion engine vehicle. Experience quick acceleration, powerful performance, and excellent fuel efficiency.
With over 30 years of expertise in lithium-ion batteries, Nissan’s battery offers a higher capacity than typical hybrid systems, providing a longer electric-only range. The engine runs less frequently, ensuring quieter operation than conventional hybrids.
Nissan continues to research and develop e-POWER technology for even more efficient, powerful, quiet, and economical driving.
Experience the Technology of the Future With e-POWER
Fueled by Petrol, Driven by Electric
Discover a cutting-edge driving experience with Nissan's technology, designed to meet the needs of a flexible lifestyle in all driving conditions. Smartly converting petrol into electricity, e-POWER lets you enjoy a quiet, responsive drive with acceleration of an EV-like driving, without worrying about charging.
Recharges on the Go
The e-POWER system automatically charges the battery. It calculates the remaining battery charge, speed, and acceleration of the vehicle. When the battery level is low, the system starts the engine and generator to generate electricity. In cases where more power is needed, electricity is supplied directly from the engine to the electric motor, ensuring sufficient power for acceleration as needed.
Regenerative Braking
The energy from braking is not wasted. The e-POWER system captures the kinetic energy from deceleration and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery for later use. Every time you brake, you're effectively recharging the power for your journey.

Discover the Other Benefits of e-POWER
Free Control of the Vehicle’s Speed With Just the Accelerator Pedal
e-Pedal step is a technology that allows you to accelerate and decelerate with just one pedal, reducing fatigue from constantly switching between the accelerator and brake. It is ideal for quick responses, such as when turning or going uphill/downhill. When combined with the e-POWER technology, which is fully powered by an electric motor, the accelerator pedal makes drives even more enjoyable.

Reduce Fatigue From Switching Pedals
With the ability to accelerate and decelerate using just one pedal, you’ll experience comfort by reducing the number of pedal presses, minimizing driving fatigue.

Peace of Mind With Smooth Acceleration and Deceleration
You can smoothly increase or decrease speed without needing to shift between pedals, providing a smooth driving experience, such as when turning or making U-turns. This ensures a more continuous and safer drive.

Gives You Confidence and Assures Others on the Road With Every Brake
When you release the accelerator, the brake lights turn on to alert vehicles behind you, so you don't have to worry when slowing down suddenly.
EV Mode / Charge Mode for a Quiet Drive
In EV Mode, the vehicle operates solely on battery power, providing quiet and emission-free driving over short distances. Charge Mode can be activated by holding the EV button, allowing the engine to recharge the battery. This mode is ideal for quiet driving in areas like residential neighborhoods at night or when waiting in the car without causing noise or exhaust disturbance.
