Nissan N7 electric sedan presented at Chengdu Motor Show 2025

Nissan introduced the N7 electric sedan at Chengdu Motor Show 2025, highlighting design, technology, range and pricing as the brand seeks growth in China.

The Nissan N7 is the electric sedan Nissan is banking on to reset its fortunes in China. It targets the core of the mid-size segment. The car is currently on display at the 2025 Chengdu Motor Show.

Design-wise, the N7 leans into Nissan’s Vmotion language: a closed front fascia, a full-width light bar with a lit logo, and V-shaped lower elements. The fastback profile pairs with frameless doors and flush handles. At the rear, the light strip integrates 882 OLED units, while 17- or 19-inch wheels and six paint choices round out the spec sheet.

Inside, the centerpiece is a 15.6-inch 2K central display, an oval two-spoke steering wheel with a column-mounted shifter, and a separate LCD instrument panel. The infotainment stack runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P with support for HiCar/CarLink/CarPlay and a voice assistant based on DeepSeek R1. Front seats offer ventilation, heating, and a 12-point massage; up to 14 speakers and 256-color ambient lighting are available. The armrest houses a cooler/warmer, with memory seats and pop-up speaker modules adding a bit of theater.

Practicality is a strong suit: generous rear legroom and a trunk of up to 504 liters. Up front you get three USB ports and 50 W wireless charging. There’s no frunk; the hood is heavy and propped, and the washer filler is tucked under an extra cap. Doors open via a button, and the tailgate is power-operated.

On the road, responses are clean and linear, with more than enough in-city punch. Cabin noise is well contained without any extra arch dampening. At speed, the car tracks straight and holds a line confidently; in bends, the active side bolsters make themselves known. One quirk: when the rear isn’t loaded, small patches can make the tail hop a bit — add passengers and the effect fades. With large steering angles the blind-spot cameras auto-pop, and traffic sign recognition flashes speed limits on the cluster.

Two Sunwoda LFP packs are offered: 58 kWh (FWD, 160 kW / 215 hp, 510–540 km CLTC) and 73 kWh (200 kW / 268 hp, 625 km CLTC). The claimed 0–100 km/h is 6.9 s, and 3C fast charging adds roughly 400 km in about 19 minutes. Aerodynamics are strong at Cd 0.208. Dimensions: 4,930×1,890×1,480 mm on a 2,910 mm wheelbase; curb mass is 1,949 or 1,962 kg depending on spec.

Pricing in China spans five trims at roughly €14,500–€18,100, with figures around $24,000 also circulating depending on specification and market layers. Given the generous rear space and cargo volume, the N7 looks well-suited not only to private buyers but also to ride-hailing fleets.

Bottom line: the N7 blends striking lighting tech with a restrained silhouette, comfort-forward features with composed road manners. In a market where Nissan has been losing ground, this well-equipped, value-focused EV can rekindle interest. If pricing remains sharp and NVH stays in check, it has a credible shot at sticking as a practical daily driver in China’s big cities.
