The engine

e-4ORCE

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

Twin motors deliver smooth, planted all-wheel-drive thrust, with torque shuffled front-to-rear and brake-based torque vectoring that keeps the body remarkably composed through corners and over bumps.

Nissan's e-4ORCE electric AWD, with control logic descended from the GT-R's ATTESA E-TS torque-split system and the Patrol's intelligent 4x4 know-how.

The system can rebalance torque between the axles in around one ten-thousandth of a second, far quicker than mechanical AWD.
It uses regenerative braking at each axle not just to recover energy but to actively reduce pitch and dive for a steadier ride.
Its lineage links a family EV crossover directly to the torque-split philosophy of the GT-R supercar.
