Dongfeng Nissan, Nissan Motor’s joint venture in China, has begun pre-sales of its N6 hybrid sedan, adding a new electrified model to its lineup following the N7 pure electric sedan introduced earlier this year. The N6 carries a pre-sale starting price of RMB 109,900, with incentives lowering the effective entry price to RMB 106,900 ($15,060).
The mid-sized sedan is the company’s first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle built on its Tianyan architecture. Dongfeng Nissan said the model will be officially launched on December 8, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin on the same day. The company is offering three variants — the 180 Pro, 180 Max and 180 Max+ — priced at RMB 109,900, RMB 114,900 and RMB 121,900 respectively, with incentives applied to the two lower-priced trims.

Dongfeng Nissan positions the N6 as the plug-in hybrid counterpart to the N7, a model it launched in late April as part of what industry analysts regarded as a renewed effort by Japanese automakers to regain ground in China’s increasingly competitive EV market. The company said earlier that the N7 “represents a major comeback for Japanese automakers in China’s EV market,” and reported more than 30,000 deliveries by October 1.
In terms of dimensions, the N6 measures 4,831 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width and 1,491 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm — slightly smaller than the N7. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine producing 75 kW of peak power, paired with a single electric motor delivering 155 kW and 320 Nm of torque, enabling 0–100 km/h acceleration in 6.8 seconds.

Battery suppliers vary by trim: the 180 Pro and 180 Max use 21.1-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) packs provided by Rept Battero Energy, while the 180 Max+ is equipped with a 20.3-kWh LFP unit from CATL. All versions offer a CLTC electric range of 180 kilometers and can recharge from 30% to 80% in 17 to 20 minutes, depending on configuration.
Dongfeng Nissan’s expanding lineup comes as joint-venture brands face increasing pressure from domestic manufacturers amid rapid electrification. The company’s N7 sedan, which launched earlier this year, forms the backbone of its push to regain competitiveness in the Chinese market.
