Overview
- Nissan showcased the fourth‑generation Elgrand in Hong Kong on Wednesday and formally launched it in Japan on Thursday, marking the model’s first full redesign in 16 years.
- The vehicle uses Nissan’s third‑generation e‑POWER system, in which a small petrol engine serves only as a generator while electric motors drive the wheels.
- Nissan says the Elgrand pairs the e‑POWER drivetrain with upgraded e‑4ORCE all‑wheel drive and an Intelligent Dynamic Suspension that work together to cut pitch and roll and keep the cabin quiet.
- The company announced a Japanese starting price of ¥6.9 million, reported more than 6,000 advance orders, claimed system torque above 500 Nm and quoted fuel economy of 16.8 km/L, about a 70% improvement over the prior model.
- Nissan plans a local Hong Kong retail launch by the end of 2026 and says it will add next‑generation AI driving technology to the Elgrand by the end of fiscal 2027 as part of a broader plan to regain market momentum against Toyota’s Alphard/Vellfire.
