On March 20, 2026, Dongfeng NISSAN will officially launch pre-sales for its all-new mid-to-large-sized SUV—the NX8. Positioned as a "Massive 5-Seater Smart & Comfort SUV in the 200,000 RMB Class," it marks a global first: the first new energy SUV from a joint-venture brand to feature both an 800V high-voltage platform and 5C ultra-fast charging technology. As the inaugural SUV in NISSAN's "N" series, the NX8 breaks the technological inertia typically seen among joint-venture brands in the EV sector. It achieves this through a suite of "hardcore" features—including a dual-powertrain strategy (Pure EV + Range Extender), LiDAR-equipped intelligent driving capabilities across the entire lineup, and a 2.4-meter-wide OLED "Star Ring" light strip—directly addressing family users' core demands for "unrestricted range, intelligent safety, and spacious comfort."
