Dongfeng Nissan NX7 Plug-In Hybrid SUV to Debut November 13, Pre-Sales Open Same Day

• The NX7 plug-in hybrid SUV, the fourth model in Dongfeng Nissan's N series, is expected to go on sale this year.
• Nissan will also unveil another new model whose name has yet to be disclosed.

Nissan Motor's Chinese joint venture Dongfeng Nissan said Monday that its new NX7 plug-in hybrid SUV will make its global debut on November 13, with pre-sales opening the same day.

Dongfeng Nissan provided no further details. Several local media outlets reported over the weekend that the debut will take place at a Nissan Day event at the Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Nissan will also unveil another, as-yet-unnamed model at the event, the Japanese automaker said last week.

The NX7 is a midsize, 5-seat SUV expected to go on sale before the end of this year. It is the fourth model in Dongfeng Nissan's N series and its second SUV, following the NX8.

The opening of NX7 pre-sales will mark the latest step in Nissan's plan to launch 5 more new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China by the summer of 2027 to cover mainstream market segments. The company outlined the plan last week.

The NX7 measures 4,785 mm in length, 1,932 mm in width and 1,665 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm, according to previously disclosed regulatory filings.

The vehicle uses a 1.5-liter engine designed for plug-in hybrid applications, with a rated output of 73 kW (98 hp). Its Bosch-supplied electric motor delivers peak power of 170 kW (228 hp).

It is equipped with a 40.9-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery from CATL (HKEX: 3750), offering an all-electric range of 220 kilometers (137 miles) or 225 kilometers and a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

The NX7 features roof-mounted LiDAR to support urban Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) driver assistance, covering scenarios including following traffic in congestion, negotiating intersections and navigating city streets.

The SUV will be available in 5 exterior colors and with 3 wheel designs in 18-inch and 19-inch sizes, Dongfeng Nissan said previously.

Nissan's N series currently comprises the N7 electric sedan, the N6 plug-in hybrid sedan and the NX8 SUV in China. The addition of the NX7 will give Dongfeng Nissan 2 models each in the new energy sedan and SUV segments.

The larger NX8 went on sale in April this year, with official guide prices ranging from 159,900 yuan ($23,800) to 209,900 yuan. Limited-time incentives lowered its starting price to 149,900 yuan. The NX7 is expected to be priced below that range.
