[#Steeven.™]

MOTORES had the opportunity to travel to Bogotá, Colombia, to learn more about the new electrical technology of the Japanese brand.

With the launch of the new Nissan X-Trail e-Power, the Japanese brand takes the driving experience to a new level with Nissan's exclusive e-Power technology, an electric motor that provides a great driving experience. .

Power, emotion, performance and an immediate response when accelerating and braking are the characteristics that define the driving experience of this vehicle that the Nissan Importers Business Unit (NIBU), the business unit of the brand in charge of providing service to 34 markets in the Americas. Latina, brings to the region, first to Colombia and then to Ecuador, one of the brand's most iconic SUVs.

Ecuadorian José Román, executive director of Nissan Mexico and Nissan Latin America, explains that the advantage of e-Power technology is the price at which customers can purchase the vehicles. “Conventional electric cars are normally very expensive, making them almost unaffordable for our markets.” Román adds that the new X-Trail is suitable for cities like Guayaquil and Quito that have heavy traffic, as well as being ideal for long trips due to the autonomy of approximately 900 km, according to the tests carried out.

 

"At Nissan we plan to electrify 50% of the world portfolio until 2030. The e-Power solution is perfectly adapted to the Latin American geography due to the scarcity of charging stations to charge a normal electric vehicle."

José Román, President and CEO of Nissan Mexico and Nissan Importers Business Unit (NIBU).

 

Characteristics
The X-Trail e-Power integrates two electric motors that provide a power of 187 horsepower and a torque of 243 lb/ft, which are responsible for propelling the vehicle at all times, providing an immediate response from the moment it is started. press the accelerator. This model additionally incorporates technologies such as e-4ORCE, an advanced all-wheel drive system, which allows managing the power delivered by the engine and provides greater control and stability of the vehicle regardless of the conditions or type of road; and e-Pedal Step, which uses load resistance to slow the vehicle down by reducing brake pedal use; In turn, this system allows the battery to be recharged.

“With Nissan X-Trail e-Power we are taking electric driving to a new level, and that is the result, on the one hand, of the unique electric powertrain of our e-Power technology, but also thanks to meticulously curated elements designed in this vehicle, such as the insulation of the cabin and the package of Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies that it integrates, and that make it a vehicle capable of offering all the excitement of driving an electric car, with maximum safety and autonomy on each journey”, says Rodrigo Centeno, Nissan's senior director of Marketing.

 

Driving
Nissan X-Trail e-Power has seven driving modes to provide a better experience, adapted to the driver's preferences and needs of each journey:

• DRIVE-D: Strong acceleration and handling, similar to a conventional car.
• D-ECO: Focus on fuel saving and energy regeneration.
• D-SPORT: Strong acceleration and energy regen buff.
• BRAKING-B, B-ECO and B-SPORT: Provide faster energy recovery and optimize fuel consumption, maintaining the benefits of each driving mode.
• EV mode: Ideal for urban settings (heavy traffic) with speeds from 5-60 km/h. Reduces generator firing frequency, extending EV (quiet and comfortable) driving range, and disengages when battery level is less than 50% or throttle demand is high.

 

What is Nissan e-Power?
It is an innovative technology for the region. With this system, the car does not depend on cables or electric charging stations during the journey.

“At Nissan, we pioneered the development of electric vehicles to bring people to a better, zero-emissions world, as we did with the LEAF. Now, the e-Power system has come to change the rules of how we understood electric mobility, as it presents a completely new alternative in which the autonomy of the vehicle and having electric recharging centers is no longer a limitation”, comments Centeno.
