Celebrating the best of both worlds through the combined power of a petrol engine and electric motor. With a Nissan hybrid car, you can experience the exceptional strength of a driving experience that’s both smooth and electrifying. Team Hendy are here to give you the full low-down.
Hybrid systems use both combustion and electric power to overcome any driving challenge. Whether you’re heading to the city, powering down the motorway or navigating country roads, hybrid driving helps with every aspect.
A Nissan hybrid system uses both a petrol engine and electric motor to power the vehicle. A hybrid car can switch between power inputs or use both sets to suit the drive and optimise efficiency. Short city drives are efficient and smooth, and long-distance adventures have the backing of the petrol engine.
Nissan’s dynamic, smart hybrid system can automatically choose the energy source by assessing the pressure applied to the accelerator and monitoring the battery charge. Meaning that you can drive along happily knowing that the system is fully optimising your vehicle for the journey.
Nissan’s innovative e-Pedal comes equipped in their hybrid vehicles, giving you the ability to both accelerate and decelerate using the accelerator pedal. To stop completely, all you need to do is touch the brake.
A hybrid system is made up of an electric motor, a petrol engine, a generator, an inverter and a large electric battery.
Place your foot on the e-Pedal and feel the smoothness of the acceleration as you move. Nissan’s hybrid system will switch to electric driving approximately 67% of the time and delivers all the benefits of all-electric in the process.
A hybrid vehicle will require fuel to run; however, it seamlessly switches between electric and petrol modes or combines the two to deliver an optimal driving performance.
By combining petrol and electric power, you’re guaranteed quieter travels as you take a leisurely exploration of the city.
