SHANGHAI: The sleek, all-electric Dongfeng Nissan N7 sedan is a highlight at Auto Shanghai 2025.
It will go on sale in China this month, just five months after making its debut.
Prices will be announced later this month.
Two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery options are available. Rated at 58kWh and 73kWh, both feature a 400-volt architecture.
All variants are front-wheel drive and feature a single electric motor with output ranging from 160kW to 200kW. On all models, maximum torque is 305Nm.
Range is a minimum of 510km for variants with the 58kWh battery, and up to 635km for variants with the 73kWh battery - based on China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC).
Owners can recharge their battery from 10% to 80% in 19 minutes and replenish the state of charge from 30% to 80% in as little as 14 minutes.
Nissan's V-Motion design signature is expressed at the front along with 710 high-power LEDs.
On the side, frameless doors and flush handles support a clean aesthetic.
The sedan features a coefficient of drag of just 0.208 and includes a comprehensive suite of intelligent technology.
At the rear, 882 OLEDs are installed within a full-width light bar.
When the vehicle is stationary, owners can customize selected elements of the lighting at both front and rear, tailoring the patterns displayed and even projecting text.
The N7 comes with wheels up to 19-inches, and feature a MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension.
Also, the N7 supports motion sickness prevention, while front-row occupants can indulge in ‘zero-pressure' seating with an AI-based, adaptive posture system, which adjusts the seat based on input from 49 individual sensors.
The seats also feature 12-point massage functionality and for drivers, a pneumatic cushion mechanism offers up to 60mm extension, providing optimal leg comfort and support.
The 15.6-inch central infotainment screen renders content in stunning 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels).
Aided by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P processor, there are also DeepSeek-R1 AI integration as well as 32GB memory, and 256GB storage space.
Audio system options can be up to 14 speakers, with high-grade variants getting a pair of retractable dash-mounted speakers.
A refrigerated compartment, located below the front center armrest, can cool drinks to minus 6 degrees Celsius, or warm them up to 55 degrees Celsius in the cooler months.
The interior ambience is aided by 256-color ambient illumination and a large panoramic roof.
In partnership with Momenta, a leader in autonomous driving technology in China, the N7 includes an advanced end-to-end driver-assist system called ‘Navigate on Autopilot.’
On the highway, the system can seamlessly handle complex maneuvers such as merging and overtaking.
In urban settings, the system confidently executes lane changes and navigates complex turning situations.
It also responds smoothly when other vehicles unexpectedly merge into its lane.
An automated parking function handles challenging scenarios like angled and narrow parking spaces with ease.
