Overview

  • Sales in Japan are scheduled to start on September 24, according to multiple reports.
  • The model adopts Kayaba Swing Valve shock absorbers— a first for any Nissan— alongside broader chassis retuning.
  • e‑4ORCE all‑wheel control and the vehicle control module receive Nismo‑specific calibration with a rear‑bias feel, a Sport mode for quicker response and an Auto mode for smoother mid‑to‑high‑speed acceleration.
  • A Nismo body kit is claimed to cut lift by 29% without increasing drag, accompanied by distinctive styling cues.
  • The e‑Power dual‑motor hybrid powertrain carries over, with reported output figures differing by source; optional Nismo‑tuned Recaro seats are offered and can lift the price to about ¥5.962 million, while availability outside Japan remains unconfirmed.
