“With the X-Trail Ti and Ti-L e-POWER with e-4ORCE models, luxury and efficiency arrive hand in hand, combining the best design, safety, comfort and convenience features with Nissan’s advanced electrification technology to deliver an EV-like drive experience and incredible efficiency,” says Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson.

Although a type of hybrid system drives these models, it differs from other brands in that the

e-POWER provides an EV-like drive experience because the wheels are only ever powered by electric motors. The system uses a high-output 1.8kWh battery with a petrol engine, power generator, inverter and twin electric motors.  With 150kW front axle, and 100kW at the rear axle the system is configured for a total output of 157kW. Although you never need to plug in to a power outlet, you will need to fill the petrol tank up, and economy is 6.1L/100km (combined).#

The turbocharged petrol engine runs range-extender-style, to charge the battery, then the electric motors via an inverter. The e-4ORCE twin-motor all-wheel drive system is said to promise grip and performance without compromise.

Deliveries of the Nissan X-Trail e-Power with e-4ORCE will commence in early 2023.
