New Nissan e-POWER: EV Driving Without the Plug

Lower Consumption, Fewer Emissions, Quieter Ride: New e-POWER is a Game-Changing Technology

Dubai, UAE – July 2025 – Nissan has unveiled the next-generation e-POWER system, a transformative leap in hybrid driving that delivers an EV-like experience without the need for plug-in charging. Building on nearly a decade of innovation, the latest iteration of e-POWER technology promises lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, and a noticeably quieter, smoother ride — a bold step forward in Nissan's electrification journey.

What is e-POWER?

Unlike conventional hybrid systems, Nissan e-POWER uses a petrol engine solely to generate electricity, which is then supplied directly to an electric motor that powers the wheels. The result is a unique electric drive feel with instant torque, silent operation, and seamless acceleration, all without needing to plug the car in.

The 2025 version takes this innovation further, with an entirely re-engineered system designed to deliver best-in-class efficiency and refinement. With no need for complex gearboxes or engine-to-wheel coupling, it ensures a drive that’s smooth, efficient, and responsive — just like a fully electric vehicle.

New 5-in-1 Powertrain: Compact, Efficient, Powerful

At the heart of the new e-POWER is a 5-in-1 modular powertrain unit, combining:

• Electric motor
• Generator
• Inverter
• Reducer
• Increaser

This compact and lightweight setup ensures optimized performance while reducing energy losses — critical for fuel savings and reduced emissions. In real-world driving conditions, this translates to an exceptionally refined and quiet drive, especially in urban settings.

A Smart Transition for UAE Drivers

In a region where EV adoption is steadily growing but infrastructure is still developing, e-POWER is a smart solution. It bridges the gap between petrol and full electric vehicles by delivering all the benefits of an EV — instant torque, zero gear shifts, and smooth acceleration — while keeping the convenience of regular fuel refilling.

“This generation of e-POWER is the result of combining our customer insights with Nissan’s vision for electrified powertrains,” said Clíodhna Lyons, Nissan AMIEO VP. “It delivers much better efficiency without any compromise on performance.”

This seamless experience makes it an ideal transition technology for drivers hesitant about full electric adoption.

Cleaner, Quieter, More Refined

The 2025 New e-POWER is quieter than ever, thanks to reduced engine operation and strategic noise insulation. It also utilizes a regenerative braking system to capture kinetic energy during deceleration, converting it into electric charge for the battery — just like a pure EV.

With extended service intervals from 15,000 km to 20,000 km, and better fuel economy, the system significantly lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), making it an ideal long-term investment.

Coming to Qashqai: September 2025

The first model to benefit from New e-POWER will be the 2025 Nissan Qashqai, manufactured at Nissan’s Sunderland plant in the UK. Set for a European release in September 2025, the Qashqai will also feature enhanced ProPILOT driver assistance, with better autonomous lane control and 360-degree traffic awareness.

While availability in the UAE and GCC hasn’t been confirmed, the continued regional growth of Nissan’s electrified lineup suggests e-POWER models could be on the horizon — a promising addition to Dubai’s growing appetite for efficient and eco-friendly SUVs.

Nissan's Electrified Future

With its Ambition 2030 strategy, Nissan aims to become carbon neutral by 2050 and continue rolling out electrified models worldwide. The e-POWER platform plays a crucial role in this transition, especially across the Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania (AMIEO) region.

In markets like the UAE — where petrol infrastructure is mature, but EV readiness is increasing — e-POWER offers a balanced and practical option for drivers seeking to lower their carbon footprint without sacrificing convenience or performance.

Final Thoughts

With its quiet operation, EV-like driving feel, and advanced fuel-saving tech, the new Nissan e-POWER is a revolutionary step forward for hybrid mobility. It’s not just about better fuel economy — it’s about a smarter, smoother, and more confident driving experience for the modern era.
