Nissan is preparing to make an important move that will increase its claim in Turkey. As of November, it is preparing to put the X-Trail on sale with its brand new technology.
After its first launch in 2001, it is one of the most popular family vehicles in the world, with sales of nearly 7 million all over the world. Nissan X-Trail, It will raise the bar in the SUV segment to the next level. Customers who enjoy adventure will enjoy the dynamic performance and advanced electric driving technologies offered by the advanced electric all-wheel drive powertrain e-4ORCE and the next-generation X-Trail.
e-POWER powertrain
The new X-Trail will be the second model in Nissan’s European range to be equipped with the innovative e-POWER drive system. Nissan’s exclusive e-POWER system, a unique approach to electrification without the need for charging electric driving experience. The e-POWER system was first used in the family car Note in Japan in 2017. Due to its wireless use and effortless performance, the Note is in 2018. It became Japan’s best-selling car. The e-POWER system of the new X-Trail consists of a high output battery and an integrated powertrain with a variable compression gasoline engine, generator, inverter and 150 kW front electric motor.
This unique powertrain, where the power to the wheels comes only from the electric motor, ensures that the accelerator pedal responds instantly and at the same rate as it is pressed. The e-POWER features have been significantly improved in the new X-Trail to meet the demands of European consumers and daily urban driving needs. The Japanese Note model featured a 1.2-liter petrol engine charging the battery unit with a final output of 106 hp. For Europe, the switch has been made to a 1.5-liter variable compression turbo petrol engine delivering 150 kW (204PS) final power output. of e-POWER, using the gasoline engine only to generate electricity and the wheels driven entirely by the electric motor with unique features such as
This ensures that the engine always runs in the optimum range and provides superior fuel efficiency in urban environments. Thanks to the 100% electric motor drive, there is no lag like with internal combustion engines or conventional hybrids. It makes driving easier and safer when overtaking or driving on the highway, as it responds instantly and provides agile acceleration with high torque values.
“Linear tuning” is an integral part of the e-POWER installation design, which keeps the petrol engine running and allows it to spin at an appropriate speed for road speed, avoiding the “revolution” effect experienced with conventional hybrids during rapid acceleration. The second benefit is the improvements made to keep the engine running at the low speed it usually needs in urban and residential conditions. In addition to these advantages, The e-POWER driving system guarantees a quiet ride, For example, the sound of a car with e-POWER technology traveling 40 km per hour is 8db less than its competitors.
4X4 comfort with e-4ORCE technology
A new all-wheel drive system designed to work with Nissan’s electric powertrains has been introduced with this new X-Trail launching in Europe. e-4ORCE, Nissan’s most advanced all-wheel drive technology, offers safe traction and acceleration in all conditions. The “e” in e-4ORCE stands for Nissan’s 100% electric motor propulsion system. “4ORCE”, “4” stands for all-wheel drive, while expressing the vehicle’s physical strength and energy.
The system will also be featured on the Ariya electric crossover, which will later launch in 2022. The powerful dual e-motor system has a total output of 157 kW (213PS) thanks to the 94 kW rear engine that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h sharply in 7 seconds. Rear torque response is 10,000 times faster than with a mechanical all-wheel drive system. In addition, the constant torque distribution and near-perfect weight balance contribute to safe handling and driving comfort, making it powerful yet powerful. It provides a smooth driving experience.
The e-4ORCE manages power output and braking performance specifically for each wheel, thereby maintaining smoothness and stability, staying on the baseline on almost any road surface without ever needing to change driving style or input, making the driver feel more confident. For example, on snow-covered roads vehicle while cornering, ultra-high precision engine, torque distribution and brake control Thanks to this, the driver can stay on the line he wants to stay. With the confidence of tackling such a variety of road surfaces, driving becomes more enjoyable and the driver feels safe even in different driving scenarios.
Engineers targeted the e-4ORCE’s precision control technology and twin electric motor to provide unparalleled ride comfort. Rolling and springing are minimized by adding regenerative rear engine braking to the standard front engine regenerative braking used in a typical electric vehicle and hybrid systems. In addition to optimizing front and rear torque distribution, the system applies independent brake control to each of the four wheels to maximize cornering force.
This allows the driver to take the corner with the least possible steering effort. “The X-Trail with e-POWER and e-4ORCE is unique in its segment as the only 7-seat family crossover with an electric drivetrain. Cliodnha Lyons, Regional Vice President of Product Planning, Nissan AMIEO Region, for X-Trail: “Exactly the vehicle adventurous families are looking for,” he says.
The new X-Trail will be available in 15 body colours, including 10 single-colour and 5 dual-colour combinations.
