The flagship Ti-L gains, in addition or in place of:

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

Unlike conventional plug-in hybrid systems, which use a battery until dead and then switches to combustion-powered drive, Nissan's innovative e-Power with e-4ORCE system is made up of a high-output 1.8kWh battery pack working in symbiosis with the turbocharged variable compression petrol engine, power generator, inverter and twin electric motors (150kW front, 100kW rear, outputting a combined 157kW).

In practice, the wheels are purely driven by the electric motors, with the combustion engine, and the petrol you fill up with, only used to charge the battery with energy not salvaged from regenerative braking.

Subsequently, owners can expect a reliably constant and smooth driving experience, with fuel-efficiency claimed by Nissan to return just 6.1L/100km.
