The Tokyo Auto Show Previews New Models To Become Available At Coast Nissan

The Tokyo Auto Show takes place each year, generally around October, and shows off some of the most interesting cars for the next model year. While it may seem too far away to be start talking about, Nissan is already offering some sneak peeks at it latest creations. This year the company is slated to bring two radically different designs to the show, including a brand new version of the popular Juke, as well as the next generation of Nissan’s Z concept car.

Nissan Juke and e-Power:

The Juke is one of the most unique looking and fun-to-drive cars on the market right now. It has the perfect balance between style and performance, with its engine providing just the right amount of acceleration and power. Best of all, the car is heavily customizable, thanks to the Juke Color Studio, which puts the paint brush in your hand so you can make the interior, exterior and trim any color you might wish. Nissan has revealed that the next Juke will feature #e-Power, a simple hybrid setup that charges an electric drivetrain engine using a small three-cylinder gas engine. This has the advantage of having almost no emissions, while still maintaining an incredibly high fuel efficiency. It also travels farther than a pure electric car and provides more horsepower.

 

The Nissan Z Concept:

The Z concept is a car that dates back almost eight years, and this year Nissan is pulling it out again for a new look and engine update. It will likely sport a 400-horsepower capable V6 engine that will give the car some serious torque and acceleration. Much like the already popular Nissan Rogue, the Z concept will also have a hybrid engine option that trades a bit of its horsepower for a hefty boost in fuel economy.

Nissan Tests The Limits Of Fuel Efficiency With E-Power Engine

When choosing a new car to buy, you take into account a number of different factors. Qualities such as design, interior material choice and horsepower all can play a big role in deciding if a certain vehicle fits your lifestyle well. One of the most important traits to consider however is the gas mileage, which can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the course of the car’s lifetime. Nissan’s new e-Power engine, which can be found on the upcoming Nissan Note, is looking to be a revolutionary development as it has drastically boosted the fuel economy of the car.

 

The e-Power engine is a replacement for traditional combustion engines, and works in a slightly different way. It still makes use of a combustion system, but it takes that energy and uses it to power an electric motor that drives the car forward. The first test prototype of this engine also rivals the horsepower and torque output of internal combustion engines, allowing you to save on gas without losing any driving power or acceleration. Thanks to this engine’s S mode, it can reduce gas consumption by operating at the lowest revs.

 

So just how much can this engine save you? The latest test drive on the streets of Yokohama yielded an average of a whopping 88 miles per gallon. This is easily over 50 miles per gallon more than most hybrid sedans in the U.S. and 60 more than traditional gas-powered cars. If you think that may just be one test drive, the official, JCo8-sanctioned consumption is 87.5 miles per gallon. Even over rough terrain such as hills, the car still gets over 50 miles per gallon.

 

The latest #NissanNote equipped with e-Power will be available for purchase at Coast Nissan in the near future. You can check out all our current deals and extensive inventory in person or online at www.coastnissan.com.
