Overview

  • Sales in Japan begin on September 24, with pricing and availability for other markets yet to be announced.
  • The Nismo treatment targets dynamics with KYB wing/swing-valve dampers and a more rear-biased e-4ORCE calibration for sharper cornering and improved ride balance.
  • Twenty-inch Enkei wheels paired with wider Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres aim to boost grip and aid brake cooling via larger center openings.
  • A functional aero kit with a front splitter and rear diffuser reduces aerodynamic lift by about 29 percent and adds Nismo-specific styling cues.
  • The 1.5‑litre e‑Power hybrid with dual-motor all-wheel drive carries over, with reported system outputs varying by outlet pending Nissan’s official specification.
