Dongfeng Nissan, Nissan Motor’s joint venture in China, has officially launched the N6 hybrid sedan, strengthening its electrified portfolio after beginning pre-sales of the model last month and following the introduction of the N7 pure electric sedan earlier this year.
The N6 was unveiled with a limited-time starting price of RMB 91,900 ($13,000), down from its pre-sales price of RMB 109,900. The promotional pricing reflects a reduction of RMB 17,100, or 16.38%, as the automaker seeks to compete aggressively in China’s crowded plug-in hybrid segment.

Dongfeng Nissan is offering five variants of the N6, with official list prices of RMB 99,900, RMB 109,900, RMB 114,900, RMB 121,900 and RMB 129,800. A limited-time RMB 8,000 discount applies across the entire range.
The mid-size sedan is the first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) built on Dongfeng Nissan’s Tianyan architecture. The five-seat, rear-wheel-drive model measures 4,831 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width and 1,491 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm.

Power comes from a 1.5-litre gasoline engine producing 75 kilowatts, paired with a single electric motor delivering peak output of 155 kW and 320 Nm of torque. The N6 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6.8 to 6.9 seconds, depending on the version.
The two lower-priced variants are equipped with a 21.1 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supplied by Rept Battero Energy, offering a CLTC-rated pure electric range of 180 km. The top variant uses a 20.3 kWh LFP battery from CATL, delivering a CLTC range of 170 km to 180 km. All versions support fast charging from 30% to 80% in as little as 17 to 20 minutes.

The N6 will compete directly with popular hybrid sedans such as BYD’s Qin L DM-i and the Geely Galaxy A7, as price competition intensifies across China’s mainstream new-energy vehicle market.
China’s fast electrification has lifted domestic automakers while many foreign joint ventures have struggled to keep pace. Nissan’s launch of the N7 battery-electric sedan in late April, followed by the N6 hybrid introduction, marks a renewed push to regain market share as Japanese brands face mounting pressure in the world’s largest electric vehicle market.
