Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today showcased a bold array of new and refreshed models, along with next-generation technologies set to debut during the companies fiscal year 2025 (FY25) and fiscal year 2026 (FY26). Loaded with innovative features, the new products will play a crucial role in elevating the company’s performance, boosting customer loyalty, attracting new buyers, increasing profitability, and promoting sustainable growth.
To meet the rising demand for diverse powertrain options, the upcoming lineup will include hybrid technologies (including e-Power and plug-in hybrids), next-generation electric vehicles (EVs), and advanced internal combustion engines (ICE).
Your First Look At The Next-Generation Leaf
Reimagined as a sleek and spacious family-friendly crossover, the third-generation all-new Nissan Leaf pairs substantial improvements in aerodynamics with a more advanced EV architecture.
As a first for the iconic EV nameplate, the all-new Leaf will be available with 19-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic moonroof. The all-new Leaf sits on Nissan’s modular CMF-EV platform (which debuted with the Ariya). Efficient energy management, streamlined packaging, and enhanced driving performance from Nissan’s new 3-in-1 EV powertrain, are expected to help deliver significant range improvements over the previous generation. Further details will be shared mid-year.
Say Hello To The Next-Generation e-Power
For customers seeking a sophisticated hybrid powertrain, Nissan’s third-generation e-Power series hybrid system will benefit from the learnings of over 1.6 million produced units since the technology was first introduced in 2016.
The third-generation e-Power system delivers notable improvements in efficiency where it is targeted to provide up to 15% enhancement in economy at high speeds compared to the current, second-generation system. It will also deliver lower emissions and enhanced refinement through reduced noise and vibration.
Central to the advancement is the adoption of a new, 1.5-liter e-Power-dedicated engine. Additionally, the new 5-in-1 system shares core components with Nissan’s latest EV powertrain.
The third-generation e‐Power system will debut on the Qashqai in Europe later in FY25, followed in FY26 by the next-generation X-Trail and a large minivan for the Japan market.
Four New Vehicles For ASEAN, Including A Pickup
Nissan has also confirmed that four new models are going to be introduced in ASEAN and Oceania. The main highlight here is a new midsize one-ton pickup that will succeed the Navara. The new pickup is going to take advantage of Nissan’s partnership with Mitsubishi, which means it will use the same ladder frame chassis as the Triton.
Furthermore, the new Leaf that has been reimagined as a crossover, as well as a new yet-to-be-named EV, will reach the ASEAN and Oceania region, too. This will be joined by another model that will utilize Nissan’s upcoming third-generation e-Power technology, and the most likely candidate for this is the Kicks which already has a new-generation model in North America.
