NISSAN N7: SLEEK NEW EV READY TO COMPETE ON TECH, RANGE, PRICE

In a move that signals Nissan’s renewed ambition in the electric vehicle race, the Japanese automaker has unveiled the all-new Nissan N7, a sleek, tech-forward electric sedan that blends size, style, and surprising affordability. 

Debuting at the Shanghai Auto Show, the N7 is a collaborative effort with Dongfeng, borrowing parts from the Chinese eπ 007, and clearly tailored for the growing EV-hungry Chinese market.

About the size of a Maxima, yet priced as low as a Versa, the N7 has turned heads not just for its looks, but for what it offers under the hood — and inside the cabin.

Auto journalists have called it “promising,” and for good reason.

Configurations

The N7 comes in two battery configurations:

  • A 58 kWh LFP battery, delivering a CLTC-rated 510 km (317 miles) of range.

  • A 73 kWh LFP battery, offering up to 635 km (388 miles) of range (CLTC cycle).

Power, premium design

Flagship versions of the N7 produce 268 horsepower from a single electric motor — enough for spirited city and highway driving.

Inside, the cabin is loaded with modern tech and premium design touches that punch above the car’s price tag.

Price

Here’s the best part: pricing starts at just 129,900 yuan (about $16,400) for the base N7 510 Air, climbing to a still-affordable 149,900 yuan (about $20,500) for the long-range N7 625 Max. 

That positions the N7 as one of the most competitively priced EVs in its class.

For a company once seen as coasting on hybrid updates and aging platforms, the N7 may mark a turning point. 

Nissan isn’t just dipping its toes into electrification anymore — it’s diving in with confidence and value on its side.
