In a world dominated by SUVs and crossovers, Nissan has taken a bold step by unveiling two brand‑new sedans for the Chinese market — the Nissan N6 plug‑in hybrid and the next‑generation Nissan Teana. Both models were developed in collaboration with Dongfeng Nissan and embody the brand’s evolving strategy under the Re:Nissan transformation program.
Nissan Revives the Sedan Spirit
While many carmakers are focusing on SUVs, Nissan continues to see strong demand for sedans in China. The new N6 and Teana were officially revealed at Nissan’s 40th‑anniversary event in China. The launch reinforces the company’s confidence that traditional three‑box sedans still have an emotional and practical connection with customers in Asia.
Nissan N6: The First Plug‑in Hybrid Sedan
The Nissan N6 PHEV is Nissan’s first plug‑in hybrid sedan, designed to offer efficiency without compromising power or style. It features a modern fastback design, distinctive LED lamps, and dynamic body lines inspired by the electric Nissan N7.
Key Specifications:
- Engine: 1.5‑litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor
- Battery: 21.1 kWh LFP pack (largest in its class)
- Electric Range: Up to 130 km (CLTC) on EV mode
- Combined Output: Around 208 hp (155 kW)
- Dimensions: 4,831 mm length, 1,885 mm width, 1,491 mm height, 2,815 mm wheelbase
The N6 aims to combine the best of electric mobility with long‑distance flexibility, making it ideal for urban and suburban driving. Its aerodynamic silhouette and tech‑rich cabin emphasize Nissan’s new‑age design philosophy.
New‑Generation Nissan Teana: The Return of a Familiar Name
The 2025 Nissan Teana, known to many global buyers as the Nissan Altima, has undergone a complete design refresh. Its elegant design, advanced technology, and powerful turbocharged engine make it one of the most feature‑packed sedans in its segment.
Highlights of the 2025 Teana:
- Engine: 2.0‑litre VC‑Turbo petrol engine
- Power Output: 243 hp and 371 Nm torque
- Transmission: CVT with simulated 8‑speed shifting
- Infotainment: Huawei’s HarmonySpace 5.0 smart cockpit
- Audio System: Huawei Sound premium system
- Body Size: 4,920 mm length, 1,850 mm width, 1,447 mm height
This Teana also becomes the world’s first internal combustion engine car to get Huawei’s HarmonyOS-based cockpit, reflecting China’s growing influence on global automotive technology development.
Not Meant for Global Markets… Yet
Both sedans — the N6 PHEV and the updated Teana — will be manufactured exclusively in China for now. Nissan has no immediate plans to export these models to markets like India, Japan, or North America. However, executives hinted that Chinese‑built vehicles may play a larger future role in Nissan’s global strategy.
As Nissan executive Ivan Espinosa stated, the company is “redefining the value Nissan delivers” through innovation and growth in China — a region he considers “a key pillar” for future exports and new‑energy vehicle development.
