Nissan has stepped up its electrification journey in China with the unveiling of the N6 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sedan, marking a major milestone under its Re:Nissan transformation plan. Revealed alongside the new Teana at an event in Beijing, the N6 underscores Nissan’s vision to expand its new energy vehicle (NEV) portfolio in one of the world’s most dynamic EV markets.
Speaking at the event, Nissan President and CEO Ivan Espinosa said, “Under our Re:Nissan plan, we are redefining what Nissan delivers today and beyond. China plays a vital role in this journey—its speed, innovation, and customer insights are shaping the global future of electrification.”
N6 Plug-in Hybrid: Electrified Power Meets Everyday Practicality
The Nissan N6 is the company’s first plug-in hybrid sedan developed on Dongfeng Nissan’s new energy technology platform, which also underpins the all-electric N7 sedan. Designed to offer both efficiency and driving pleasure, the N6 combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a 21.1 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery—the largest battery in its segment in China.
With dimensions of 4,831 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width, and 1,491 mm in height, and a 2,815 mm wheelbase, the N6 delivers a blend of aerodynamic styling and interior spaciousness. The sedan’s sleek profile, V-Motion grille, and expressive LED lighting emphasize Nissan’s evolving EV design philosophy.
While performance and range figures are yet to be disclosed, the N6 is expected to provide a compelling mix of electric driving range and hybrid efficiency, catering to urban commuters and long-distance travelers alike.
China at the Core of Nissan’s Electrification Push
China remains central to Nissan’s global electrification roadmap. The company’s joint venture with Dongfeng Nissan is key to developing locally relevant NEVs that align with Chinese market demands. Espinosa noted that the collaboration enables Nissan to “localize products, accelerate innovation, and expand our NEV portfolio,” paving the way for future exports and continued growth in the EV space.
By introducing the N6, Nissan reinforces its commitment to offering diverse powertrain choices—from EVs and hybrids to efficient combustion engines—while keeping electrification at the heart of its strategy.
The N6 plug-in hybrid is expected to go on sale in China by the end of 2025, representing a bold step forward in Nissan’s electric mobility expansion.
