Nissan has launched the new-generation Elgrand in Japan, first shown at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. Sales of the premium minivan began on July 16, 2026. The model is offered exclusively with the electric e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system, with prices ranging from ¥6,897,000 to ¥7,579,000 — roughly €37,200 to €40,900.

The new Elgrand is larger than its predecessor and adopts a “Japanese futurism” design language. The large grille pattern echoes the traditional kumiko woodworking technique, while the cabin features two combined 14.3-inch displays. Ambient lighting offers 64 shades, and the optional Bose audio system includes 22 speakers.

At the heart of the powertrain is the third generation of Nissan’s series hybrid e-POWER system, which Nissan previously detailed as it moved to a new modular platform. A new ZR15DDTe turbocharged gasoline engine is used solely to generate electricity, while electric motors drive the wheels. The e-4ORCE system manages torque across both axles, and adaptive suspension adjusts damper stiffness in real time. Drivers get six modes — from eco and comfort to sport and snow.

The seven-seat cabin is built primarily for long trips. Second-row seats gain powered upper-backrest adjustment and ottomans. Footrests can be used simultaneously by the front passenger and both middle-row occupants. Even with all seven seats occupied, Nissan says the trunk can hold seven carry-on suitcases.

Equipment also includes dual wireless Qi2.0 charging, three 100V outlets with up to 1,500W combined output, a multimedia system with Google services, and the ProPILOT suite. The top trim can be fitted with ProPILOT 2.0, a memory-function automatic parking system, and hands-free driving mode in traffic jams.
