Nissan's e-POWER system is a series-connected gasoline and electric powertrain. The engine is responsible for generating electricity and the electric motor drives the wheels. It sounds similar to the extended-range hybrid system, but in fact there are differences between the two. For example, e-POWER It cannot be charged externally, the battery size and capacity are much smaller, and the weight of the vehicle is accordingly much lighter.

In fact, new Nissan cars equipped with the e-POWER system have been sold in the Japanese market as early as 2016, but they have only been introduced into the country now. Their most direct rivals are HEV hybrid models represented by Toyota and Honda. So, e-POWER What is the hard power of China?

e-POWER Sylphy is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 72 horsepower. Since it is only responsible for generating electricity and always works in the high-efficiency range, its thermal efficiency is as high as 43%. For car owners, the e-POWER Sylphy motor is the real driving power source. Its maximum power is 136 horses and its maximum torque is 300 Nm. The book data is equivalent to the actual level of a 1.5T engine at this stage, especially The peak torque is nearly double that of the fuel version of Sylphy.

In terms of actual driving, I also think it has plenty of power. Not to mention the starting stage, the power is direct and available whenever you step on it. The same is true in congested road conditions. The overall driving experience is delicate and smooth, and driving is very relaxed. Of course, you don't have to worry about its floor-oil power making you breathless. After all, this is a serious family car. Even if you go to the bottom of the accelerator, the motor characteristics determine that its acceleration is not abrupt.
