On Thursday, Nissan Motor lifted the veil on its completely revamped Elgrand MPV in Japan, ushering in the model's first significant upgrade in a remarkable 16-year span. This latest iteration boasts Nissan's cutting-edge third-generation e-Power range-extender hybrid system, a setup where the engine is dedicated exclusively to generating power, enhancing efficiency and performance. With a starting price tag of 6.9 million yen (roughly equivalent to $43,000), the new Elgrand achieves an impressive combined fuel consumption rate of approximately 5.95 liters per 100 kilometers, marking a substantial 70% leap in fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor. Looking ahead, Nissan has ambitious plans to outfit the Elgrand with AI driving technology and broaden its model range by the conclusion of fiscal year 2027, promising an exciting future for this iconic MPV.
