Singapore – Feast your senses on Nissan's exciting line-up of electrified vehicles at the upcoming Singapore Motorshow 2023! Showcasing Nissan's widest display of new and current electrified models to date, the four-day event from 12-15 January 2023 spotlights not one, but two new Nissan stars to enable Singapore drivers looking for powerful and advanced electrified vehicles that are delightfully dreamy to drive.
For the first time in Southeast Asia, the highly-anticipated Nissan Ariya, Nissan's 100% electric luxury coupé crossover, will make its first appearance. This ASEAN premiere also launches Nissan's new electrified brand identity in Southeast Asia.
Sharing the limelight is the all-new Nissan X-Trail e-POWER premium SUV that continues to fulfil the electrification dream for families and c-suite executives.
The new generation SUV is built to enhance the driving experience and provide unparalleled comfort. It comes equipped with a new electric all-wheel drive system, called e-4ORCE. Combined with the latest twin-motor e-POWER electrified powertrain, it delivers an instantaneous yet smooth 100% electric drive without having the need for plug-in charging. The all-new X-Trail, with its e-4ORCE electric drive four-wheel control technology and the second-generation of the e-POWER system, was recently named Japan's Technology Car of the Year 2022 – 2023 for the integration of innovative internal-combustion and EV technologies into one vehicle.
"Nissan's long-term vision is built around electrification and vehicle intelligence technologies, with our innovation enabling exciting, confident, and safe journeys. We continue to pursue our goal of a zero-emission and zero-fatality society, with Singapore leading the way in Nissan ASEAN's electrification ambition with the widest range of electrified vehicles."
- Nirmal Nair, Vice President, Nissan Importer Business Unit, Nissan ASEAN.
"Today, we are excited to showcase two new electrified models – the Ariya, a full EV SUV and the all-new X-Trail e-POWER. They represent the pinnacle of Nissan's electrified technologies which gives the very unique instant acceleration feel for great driving satisfaction.
The X-Trail which has always been known for superior comfort, convenience and technological advancement, is now more premium. The luxurious build-quality of the new X-Trail puts it on a totally new level. The new e-POWER drivetrain now gives drivers more confidence on the roads with its latest electric all-wheel drive system paired with an authentic EV driving experience."
- Mr. Glenn Tan, Deputy Chairman and Managing Director, Tan Chong International Limited
Visitors to the Nissan booth can catch their first glimpse of the new 2023 Nissan Kicks e-POWER and 100% electric Nissan LEAF, alongside the recently launched Nissan Qashqai crossover, the new Serena e-POWER Prestige 7-seater MPV and the Note e-POWER Adventure Series hatchback.

The all-new Nissan Ariya
The Nissan Ariya – Nissan's first all-electric coupe crossover – offers powerful acceleration and smooth, quiet operation as well as an interior with a welcoming, luxurious lounge-like atmosphere.
The Ariya is Nissan's ultimate expression of style and technology, with aesthetics complimenting function to deliver a great driving experience. Its 100% electric vehicle platform removes fundamental limits of internal combustion engines and allowed designers to take a new approach to existing components.
The Nissan Ariya represents a significant redefinition of Nissan's design philosophy. This new direction is based on what Nissan calls "Timeless Japanese Futurism," which is characterized by a minimalist Japanese approach conveyed in a modern, simple-yet-powerful way. Designers embraced this with the key concepts of "sleek, sexy, and seamless" to communicate how an EV paired with advanced driving capabilities can offer a new perspective to design, function and the ownership experience.
The all-new Nissan X-Trail e-POWER with e-4ORCE
The all-new Nissan X-Trail e-POWER with e-4ORCE is the fourth e-POWER model to be introduced in Singapore.
The Nissan X-Trail with e-4ORCE comes equipped with the latest generation of award-winning e-POWER technology, with twin electric motors that feature improved power, smoothness, and quietness for more effortless drives. The e-POWER system is powered by a specifically tuned VC-Turbo engine, which is the world's first mass-produced variable compression ratio engine. With significantly improved output at low revs, the engine efficiently powers a generator to produce electricity. The combination of e-POWER and the VC-Turbo engine delivers a powerful driving experience and unparalleled quietness, while maintaining high fuel efficiency.
The X-Trail e-POWER is also equipped with the new e-4ORCE technology, which integrates Nissan's twin electric motor and 4 Wheel Drive control systems with its chassis-control technology for a huge leap in acceleration, cornering, and braking performance. The 'e' in e-4ORCE represents the system that was developed to work solely with Nissan's electrified powertrains. e-4ORCE raises driving performance and confidence on a wide variety of road surfaces, while providing a supremely comfortable onboard experience for all occupants. The immensely powerful twin-electric motor system produces more than 500 Nm of INSTANT torque! Beyond that, you will also be able to see and feel the new timeless Japanese futurism design language of the new X-Trail e-POWER interior with its new white ambient lighting that simply oozes sophistication and refinement.
The all-new Nissan X-Trail e-POWER sets a new segment standard for elevated ambience, distinctive design, and enhanced usability. Advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies are at the driver's fingertips, with comfort and quality in every touch. New premium materials, smart features, and clever storage solutions enhance a cabin that delivers innovative design and practicality in every dimension.
