Both versions utilize an 800V Silicon Carbide (SiC) platform and support 5C ultra-fast charging technology. Available in seven distinct trim levels, it stands as the world's first joint-venture mid-to-large-sized SUV to feature the trifecta of "Five-Screen Interconnectivity + 800V Ultra-Charging + Mapless NOA." With a disruptive starting price of just 159,900 RMB, it shatters the old paradigm that "Joint-Venture = High Price Premium." More than just a vehicle, it is a "mobile intelligent living space" meticulously tailored for the modern family.

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.
