Nissan\u2019s<\/a> new EV, the N7, is here and it\u2019s surprisingly affordable. Launched in China, the electric sedan starts at under $17,000 and has a driving range of over 388 miles (625 km).<\/p>\n

Like nearly all global OEMs, Nissan was caught flat-footed in China after the market rapidly shifted to electric vehicles over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Japanese automakers, including Nissan and Toyota, have been among the hardest hit as BYD <\/a>and other domestic automakers continue to cut prices, fueling the EV price war.<\/p>\n

Nissan hopes to turn things around with the new N7, its first dedicated electric vehicle from its Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng-Nissan.<\/p>\n

The company officially launched the N7 in China this week, starting at just 119,900 yuan, or around $16,500. It\u2019s available in five trims with a driving range of up to 625 km (388 miles) on the CLTC cycle.<\/p>\n

Powered by a 58 kWh LFP battery pack, the base 510 Air offers a range of 510 km to 540 km (316 to 335 miles) on the CLTC rating system. The longer-range models feature a 73 kWh LFP battery, good for up to 625 km (388 miles).<\/p>\n

The N7 shares the Tianyan platform, which also underpins the Dongfeng 007. You can see that the N7 closely resembles Dongfeng\u2019s electric sedan, with similar design features such as a sleek LED light bar across the front and a streamlined profile.<\/p>\n

Nissan\u2019s new electric sedan is 4,930 mm long, 1,895 mm wide, and 1,487 mm tall, which is slightly longer than the Tesla Model 3<\/a> (4,720 mm long, 1,848 mm wide, 1,442 mm tall).<\/p>\n

Inside, the N7 is loaded with smart driving tech and other features. A 15.6\u2033 infotainment sits at an otherwise minimalistic setup.<\/p>\n

Using Momenta\u2019s smart driving system, Nissan said the new EV is \u201cequipped with the industry\u2019s first-tier high-end intelligent driving system.\u201d The system offers features such as high-speed navigation, city memory navigation, and full-scenario intelligent parking.<\/p>\n

The OS is powered by a Snapdragon 8295P Qualcomm chip that supports DeepSeek\u2019s R1 model. Using AI, the system understands driver intent for a more \u201chuman-like\u201d interaction.<\/p>\n

At the Shanghai International Auto Show<\/a> last week, we caught a glimpse of the Nissan N7 in person. Check out the pics below for a closer look.<\/p>\n
