More than 8,000 orders — that's the result Nissan reports for the new Elgrand after sales opened on July 16. Against that backdrop, it's worth looking at what the Japanese brand charges not for the minivan itself, but for the details of its “night mode” interior: three factory lighting options together cost ¥303,600, roughly $1,900.

The priciest is the Black Light Illumination Carpet Set at ¥144,100, about $906. This isn't a simple ambient lamp: Nissan uses a fluorescent pattern on the second-row carpets paired with two 385 nm ultraviolet light sources. The system activates when a door opens or together with the parking lights, and it's available for the X e-4ORCE and G e-4ORCE trims.

Illuminated Entrance Plates cost another ¥116,600, about $733. Opening the door lights up the ELGRAND logo while also illuminating the step area. The trim itself is made from black PVD-coated stainless steel and is offered across the whole minivan lineup.

The most affordable lighting option is the Footwell Lamp at ¥42,900, about $270. White lights illuminate the footwell space for the first and second rows: brightness increases when the doors are open and dims when the parking lights are on. This option is also available across the full range.

The vehicle itself costs dramatically more: Nissan's official configurator shows a range from ¥6,897,000 to ¥8,698,800, roughly $43,300–$54,700. The new Elgrand has moved to a third-generation e-POWER system and electric all-wheel drive via e-4ORCE; rated fuel economy is 16.8 km/l, or about 6.0 l/100 km.

This story builds on the launch of the new Elgrand with e-4ORCE and pricing from ¥6.897 million. Even before its debut, the model was already being compared to the Toyota Alphard, with expected specs and positioning assessed well ahead of sales opening.

The individual lamps are secondary here. What stands out is Nissan's broader strategy: a premium base interior can be further personalized for a sum comparable to the price of a modest set of wheels. And if the 8,000-order mark keeps climbing, accessories become one more way for the automaker to squeeze extra revenue out of every Elgrand already sold.
