I WENT TO NISSAN'S HQ AND GOT THE SCOOP ON THEIR MUCH-NEEDED HYBRIDS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer attended Nissan's 'Fast Forward' event at their HQ, revealing an upcoming product roadmap heavily focused on electrification. Key announcements include the 2025 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, utilizing Mitsubishi's Outlander PHEV powertrain, expected to offer around 45 miles of electric range and over 300 horsepower, positioning it as a strong competitor to the RAV4 Prime. E-power, Nissan's series-hybrid technology, is finally slated for North America in fiscal year 2026, promising improved efficiency and cost parity with ICE vehicles. A new Leaf-based EV, inspired by the Chill-Out concept, is also anticipated for fiscal year 2024, with more premium EVs and potential Infiniti EVs to follow in 2027. Solid-state batteries are targeted for the GTR by fiscal year 2028. While the reviewer expresses excitement for Nissan's future, particularly the E-power system and the Rogue PHEV, they note the long wait times for these technologies and express concern over Infiniti's uncertain future.
