Nissan N7

The Nissan N7 is a battery electric mid-size sedan produced by Nissan for the Chinese market through the Dongfeng Nissan joint venture.[1]

Overview

The N7 was previewed by Epoch concept in March 2024.

The N7 is the first model built based on the Tianyan Architecture, a car platform developed in China that underpins EV, PHEV, and EREV platforms.[2][3][4][5]

The N7 was launched on 28 April 2025 at Auto Shanghai 2025, with deliveries beginning in China on 15 May.[6] It is one of several models included in Nissan's "The Arc" mid-term plan, which will see Dongfeng Nissan's joint venture accelerate the launch of hybrid and electric vehicles in China. The strategy calls for a total of 30 models worldwide by 2027, including seven vehicles for the United States.[7]

The exterior of N7 follows Nissan's V-Motion design language, and it has a drag coefficient of 0.208 Cd. The front and rear lights feature customizable light panels consisting of 710 individually-addressable LEDs at the front, and 882 at the rear.[8] The infotainment system consists of a 15.6-inch 2.5K touchscreen running NISSANOS and is powered by a Snapdragon 8155 SoC for standard models. Higher variants are equipped with Snapdragon 8295P SoC and an ADAS system developed in a collaboration between Dongfeng-Nissan and Momenta.[8]

The N7 is powered by a choice of two Dongfeng-made motors, the base model receiving a 160 kW unit, while higher trims receive a 200 kW motor, both powering the front wheels. Power is supplied by a Sunwoda LFP battery.[8]
