Lower consumption, fewer emissions, quieter ride: New e-POWER is a game-changing technology

Nearly a decade after its global debut, Nissan is launching the most advanced form of its unique e-POWER launched in Europe four years ago, e-POWER was developed to deliver an electric- drive experience without the need to plug in - combining the smooth, effortless acceleration and refinement of an EV with the everyday convenience of traditional combustion next-generation system has been comprehensively re-engineered for even better fuel efficiency, lower emissions and elevated refinement. New e-POWER will further smoothen the transition from fuel towards zero refinement and responsiveness of an EVAt the heart of the e-POWER is a unique principle which delivers real customer benefits: the petrol engine is used only to generate electricity which is distributed directly to the electric motor to drive the wheels, as well as to charge the battery if traditional hybrids, there is no complicated gearbox and coupling to combine petrol power and electric energy to drive the wheels, meaning response is instant and the drive is always smooth, just like an EV. And like an EV, the regenerative braking system on e- POWER converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, fed back into the e-POWER takes this concept and elevates it further to deliver a best-in-class balance of performance, EV-like refinement and real-world fuel efficiency - but with the range and flexibility of a traditional combustion engine the core of New e-POWER is a newly-developed 5-in-1 modular powertrain unit, which integrates the electric motor, generator, inverter, reducer and increaser into a compact and lighter package. David Moss, Senior Vice President, Region Research & Development, Nissan AMIEO, said 'This new version of e-POWER reflects everything we've learned from developing electric motor drive systems for Europe. We've analysed what worked in our previous generations, what appealed most to customers, and re-engineered the system to deliver maximum efficiency, lower emissions and a quieter, more refined drive. We are proud that New e-POWER now offers best-in- class fuel efficiency and emissions.'A smarter step towards electricFor many drivers, moving to a fully electric vehicle still comes with questions – about charging, range, infrastructure, and habit change. That's where e-POWER comes its fully electric motor drive and no plug-in requirement, new e-POWER offers a clear, confident step into electrified driving - combining the smoothness and instant response of an EV, with the familiar range and convenience of an ICE. It delivers the experience of electric, without the perceived challenges and common misconceptions that can still hold some drivers back from switching to fully because the engine never powers the wheels, the driving feel is entirely electric, with no gear shifts, no power lag, and minimal engine noise at low speeds. Yet, unlike a battery electric vehicle, refuelling takes place at any petrol removing the complexity of change, e-POWER acts as a true transition technology - giving customers the benefits of electric mobility with none of the friction. It's built for drivers who want something better, but not something Lyons, Region Vice President, Product & Services Planning, Nissan AMIEO, added 'This generation of e-POWER is the result of combining our customer insights with Nissan's vision for electrified powertrains. It takes further the promise of e- POWER by delivering much better efficiency without any compromise on performance. Best fuel efficiency and range – even on the highway – with a pleasant, refined, everyday EV driving. And all that, without changing the way we are used to live with a traditional vehicle. More than ever, it represents a seamless transition for our customers towards full EV and a key pillar of our electrification strategy.'New e-POWER comes to Qashqai from September 2025Technology improvements include increased driving intelligence with enhanced ProPILOT driver assistance features such as improved multi-lane autonomous drive interfaces for better traffic monitoring and awareness of surrounding new e-POWER customers can expect lower total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to service intervals which have been extended from 15,000km to 20,000km. The latest Qashqai equipped with new e-POWER, which is built at Nissan's state-of-the-art factory in Sunderland, UK will be available in European markets from September 2025.
