The new Nissan X-Trail for Europe received a “turbo engine” and became a hybrid

The variable compression ICE in the e‑Power is not connected to the wheels. It works optimally and only as a generator. Such a scheme, according to Nissan, has many advantages. First, the all-electric drive provides a linear response. Secondly, at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the noise in the cabin is 8 decibels lower than that of conventional cars. The consumption of hybrids in the combined cycle is 5.8-6.5 liters.
