Nissan N7 on display in Japan – EV sedan based on a Dongfeng with up to 635 km CLTC; fr RM70k in China

Following its launch in China in May this year, the Nissan N7 was presented at this year’s Japan Mobility Show. As stated by the company previously, the electric sedan will not be limited to China and will be exported to other markets.

Based on the Dongfeng 007 (officially the eπ 007 or Yipai 007) – Nissan has a joint venture with the Chinese automaker – the N7 rides on the Quantum Architecture No. 3. In China, it is offered in five variants, namely the 510 Air, 510 Pro, 625 Pro, 510 Max and 625 Max, with prices ranging from 119,900 to 149,900 yuan (about RM70k to RM88k).

All variants get a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, with the ‘510’ options equipped with a 58-kWh unit and a front electric motor rated at 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) and 305 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the ‘625’ cars get a 73-kWh battery and a more powerful front electric motor with 272 PS (268 hp or 200 kW) and the same peak of torque of 305 Nm.

Depending on the variant and accompanying equipment, the CLTC-rated range for the N7 is between 510 and 635 km. The 510 Max offers the least range while the 625 Pro provides the most, with all variants capable of DC fast charging from 10-80% in 19 minutes. A vehicle-to-load (V2L) system provides 6.6 kW to power external electrical appliances.

ADAS features that come standard include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and lane departure prevention, although only the ‘Max’ variants get further functions such as park assist, navigation assist, front and rear cross traffic alert and auto brake, blind spot warning and rear collision warning. Adaptive cruise control is not standard across the range, as it is only fitted from the 510 Pro onwards – the 510 Air makes do with a passive system.

Available equipment for the N7 include powered front seats, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, a 50-watt wireless charging pad, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch central infotainment touchscreen, up to 12 speakers with a 10-inch subwoofer and six airbags.

The N7 is a relatively large sedan, measuring in at 4,930 mm long, 1,895 mm wide, 1,484 mm tall and with a wheelbase of 2,915 mm. That makes it slightly larger than the current Toyota Camry we have here, although its wheelbase is significantly superior (the Camry’s is 2,825 mm).

  • Launched in China from RM70K. If it is launched in Malaysia it will start from RM180K with less specs. Our car prices are extremely high because of high duties which were imposed to protect Proton and Perodua in the 1980s. When protection was eased off the duties did not come down because the government had become addicted to high car duties.
