2026 NISSAN ELGRAND G e-4ORCE (NE53) — JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET SPECIFICATION

Engine and Drivetrain

The fourth-generation Elgrand uses Nissan's third-generation e-POWER series hybrid drivetrain, in which the combustion engine never drives the wheels. The ZR15DDTe generator engine is a turbocharged DOHC water-cooled inline-3 of 1,498 cc, bore and stroke 79.7 x 100.1 mm, compression ratio 13.0:1, fed by Nissan Di direct injection and running on regular unleaded petrol. It produces 103 kW (140 PS) at 5,000 rpm and 228 Nm at 3,600 rpm, feeding a lithium-ion drive battery and the traction motors. Propulsion comes from two AC synchronous motors: a YM52 front motor rated 151 kW (205 PS) between 4,400 and 8,500 rpm with 330 Nm from 0 to 4,300 rpm, and an MM45 rear motor rated 100 kW (136 PS) between 5,500 and 10,900 rpm with 195 Nm from 0 to 3,000 rpm. The pairing forms Nissan's e-4ORCE electric all-wheel-drive system, with final drive ratios of 8.800 front and 9.338 rear and a single-speed reduction gear at each axle. Drive Mode Selector offers Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Comfort and Personal settings, and e-Pedal Step allows one-pedal driving.
