Mild hybrid – improving petrol engine efficiency

Nissan’s advanced mild hybrid engine technology delivers a reliable and efficient performance that doesn’t alter the way you drive.

Improve your driving efficiency with mild hybrid

Mild hybrid technology utilises a petrol engine to power the wheels, and a lithium battery provides extra support. With stop-start technology on board, efficiency is further improved when the engine is turned off when the vehicle is coasting or travelling under 11mph with your foot off the pedal (on automatic transmission). As a result, there is a large reduction in tailpipe emissions and running costs.

How does mild hybrid technology work?

Charging on the go

Mild hybrid’s smart regeneration system makes for much improved efficiency and works by harnessing kinetic energy while the vehicle is moving and slowing; this energy is then used to recharge the battery.

Giving your engine a much-needed break

Whether you’re stationary or coasting, the battery will help out by powering the electrical equipment in the car, meaning that the engine can switch off more often to improve fuel efficiency. In addition, regenerative braking ensures that there’s less pressure on your brakes, meaning that you get less wear and tear on your brake pads.

Seamless acceleration

The battery in a mild hybrid vehicle is able to store a large amount of energy, one of its uses is noticeable in the acceleration, giving you that extra boost as you move away. The result is a more responsive experience and puts less pressure on the engine.
