Nissan plans to initiate a pilot solid-state battery factory in 2024 and aims for mass production by 2028, which will have a profound impact on the EV market.
To further consolidate its lineup of new energy models in the Chinese market, DF NISSAN plans to introduce 4 new energy models in the next three years, spanning multiple styles including sedans and SUVs, as well as pure electric and hybrid energy forms. The first new car is slated to hit the market in 2024, marking an important step in DF NISSAN’s new energy strategy.
DF NISSAN also showcased the PATHFINDER SUV at the auto show, which has a 38-year sales history in overseas markets and has gone through four iterations. DF NISSAN has introduced it to the Chinese market with a new Chinese name, ‘Tanlu’. The ‘Tanlu’ status as a six-seat grand family flagship SUV discovers flexible seating options with a ‘Neo Daqi’ design concept. Embodying size and wheelbase characteristics of a large SUV, it is expected that the ‘Tanlu’ PATHFINDER will officially launch in the first quarter of next year, further enriching DF NISSAN’s product line in the Chinese market.
