The Nissan NX8 (Chinese: 日产NX8; pinyin: Rìchǎn NX8) is a battery electric and range-extended mid-size crossover SUV produced by the Dongfeng Nissan joint venture and sold under the Nissan brand. It is the first SUV in Nissan's China-exclusive N series.
Design
The NX8 is a range-extended and electric mid-to-large SUV. It is the first vehicle in the N series to be available in both electric and plug-in hybrid forms, CATL 5C charging technology, and an 800-volt platform for the electric version. Its battery makes the NX8 capable of operating in temperatures from -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F).[1] The NX8 uses a two-row, 5-seat arrangement and has a design language similar to the N6.[2]
The NX8 was previewed by the Nissan Epic Concept at Auto China 2024.[3]
Production of the NX8 commenced on January 28, 2026.[4]
The NX8 launched on April 8, 2026. Sales began on the same day.[5]
The exterior uses Nissan's current V-Motion design language. The front end uses a 2.4-meter full-width light bar, a flat illuminated logo, and matrix-style headlamps. Retractable door handles are used. The back includes an OLED taillight panel composed of 2064 units with customizable lighting patterns.[6] It will offer 18, 19, and 20-inch wheels, with the 18 and 19-inch wheels being combined with 235/55 tires while the 20-inch wheels are combined with 235/50 tires.[7]
Features
A LiDAR sensor is included on the roof. The NX8 is also capable of 5C fast-charging.[8] It has dual 15.6-inch central touchscreens for both the driver and passenger, a 63-inch AR-HUD, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. A 25-speaker sound system with an output of 2000 watts also comes standard. The infotainment system uses Nissan's own Nissan OS 2.0 and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip.[5]
Powertrain
The NX8 EREV uses a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 producing 146 horsepower paired with an electric motor on Rear wheels producing 261 horsepower. The NX8 EV uses an electric motor on Rear axle producing between 288 and 335 horsepower. Batteries with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry are utilized. CATL produces the batteries but they are developed and packaged by Nissan.[6][9] The EREV will be offered with 3 battery sizes: 20.3, 21.1, and 37.4 kWh. 20.3 and 21.1 kWh models both get an electric range of 102 kilometres (63 mi), while 37.4 kWh models get an electric range of 185 kilometres (115 mi).[7]
The pure-electric models use 800V power electronics and have an option of 73 or 81 kWh Yundun LFP battery packs also supplied by CATL, which weigh 513 and 593 kilograms (1,131 and 1,307 lb), respectively.[10]
