Nissan sold 136,324 Note compact cars in Japan in the year that ended Dec. 31, topping registered vehicle sales rankings. The rankings exclude minivehicles and foreign brands.
The e-POWER system’s popularity helped the Note become the first Nissan model ever to take the full-year sales crown. About 70% of Note customers opted for the system.
Nissan has sold more than 200,000 Nissan Note cars with e-POWER since introducing the technology in Japan in November 2016. The system features an electric drivetrain with a battery that’s charged by a gasoline engine. Because the wheels are driven solely by an electric motor, e-POWER models offer the same smooth, instant acceleration and agile performance as a pure electric vehicle. The gasoline engine, used only to charge the battery, runs at an optimal speed at all times for maximum fuel efficiency.
The e-POWER system has been available in the Serena since March 2018. Nissan sold 99,865 Serenas in 2018, making it Japan’s No. 1 minivan.
“Nissan’s technologies are giving our customers a safer, more enjoyable and more convenient driving experience,” said Nissan Senior Vice President Asako Hoshino. “You can expect even more to come.”
