Nissan, with the help of its long-time Chinese partner Dongfeng, has unveiled the Nissan N7 electric sedan, a sedan that is stylish enough for city avenues and advanced enough to seriously challenge the likes of Tesla and BYD. Meet the Nissan N7 – the new weapon from the East.
When you combine Japanese precision and Chinese relentless innovation, you get a vehicle that is not just a means of transportation, but a cultural statement. Nissan N7 is not just another electric sedan – it is a prediction that China and Japan will no longer be content to play supporting roles. Now they want to write the script.
Dongfeng + Nissan: more than just joint production
To understand why it is Nissan To see why the N7 is so important, we need to look back a few years. Nissan and Chinese car giant Dongfeng have been working together for two decades as part of the Dongfeng Nissan joint venture. Dongfeng is one of the largest car groups in China, making vehicles in partnership with almost every global giant – from Peugeot and Citroën to Honda and Kia. But now it wants to become a major player in the EV space itself, not just as a subcontractor, but as a co-creator of the future. The N7 is the result of this newfound courage.
Design: Futurism on four wheels Nissan N7
The exterior of the Nissan N7 follows Nissan's V-Motion design philosophy, which means a sharp grille, flowing lines and a sporty stance. The car is 4,930 mm long, 1,895 mm wide and 1,487 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,915 mm - meaning plenty of space for passengers. With a drag coefficient of just 0.208 Cd, it will cut through the air smoothly and use less energy. LED lighting with over 700 elements at the front and almost 900 at the rear ensures that you will be noticed even from outer space.
Interior: A spaceship with living room comforts
Inside, we’re greeted by a 15.6-inch display powered by a Snapdragon 8295P processor – powerful enough to power your home computer. Voice control with DeepSeek-R1 AI enables natural interaction: “Hey Nissan N7, turn on the massage.” And voilà – the seats with 49 sensors and 12 massage points make you feel like you’re in a high-tech spa.
Drivetrain: Two versions, one goal – efficient driving – Nissan N7
The Nissan N7 comes in two configurations:
- 160 kW (215 hp) with 58 kWh battery (up to 510 km range)
- 200 kW (268 hp) with 73 kWh battery (up to 635 km range)
Both use LFP batteries – robust, safe and long-lasting. Supports fast charging: adds 400 km of range in 19 minutes. More than enough for your morning coffee and charging.
Nissan N7 driving technology: Almost like self-driving
In partnership with Momento (no, not the movie – but a Chinese AI company), Nissan has developed the Navigate on Autopilot system. The car can overtake, adjust its speed, and even park itself. While it’s not quite on the level of Tesla’s FSD, it’s already very impressive for most drivers.
Conclusion: N7 is a silent offensive with huge potential
The Nissan N7 is proof that the electric future is no longer the domain of the US and Europe. With this model, China and Japan are demonstrating that together they can create something that is not only competitive, but also desirable.
The price of 160,000 to 180,000 yuan (around $21,950–$24,700) is more than fair, considering the technology and quality offered. Although it is only intended for the Chinese market for now, exporting it would be a logical next step.
If you're interested in an electric sedan that's not a Tesla copy but has its own character, the Nissan N7 is one of the most interesting newcomers of 2025. The next step? Just wait until it reaches Europe.
