Nissan brings to Europe the state-of-the art e-4ORCE technology, a new and unique all-wheel-drive system specifically engineered for electric and electrified vehicles to offer confident and reassuring performance in all conditions.
The “e” in e-4ORCE stands for Nissan’s 100% electric motor drive system. “4ORCE” refers to the vehicle’s physical power and energy, with “4” representing all-wheel control.
Nissan’s teams of powertrain engineers combined their comprehensive expertise on three core elements: electric motor management, all-wheel drive systems and chassis control technologies to develop an innovative technology which provides reassurance and dynamic poise in everyday scenarios.
The innovative e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system was conceived for use on either Nissan’s pure electric powertrains or with its pioneering e-POWER system. In both cases, the driven wheels are powered purely by electric motors fed by the battery.
In the case of the X-Trail, the dual e-motor system has a total output of 157kW (213PS) with a 150kW (204PS) front motor and a rear 100Kw (136PS) (motor. This generates lively acceleration from 0-62mph in 7 seconds. It has a 10,000 times faster rear torque response than a mechanical 4WD system.
The Ariya e-4ORCE has a total system output of 225kW (306PS). This generates lively acceleration from 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds. Both vehicles enjoy confident and agile handling in all conditions, enabling a powerful yet smooth driving experience.
