SAMURAI WHEELS

The Real Power of a "New Sensation Hybrid" (2017x8)

Air date: Apr 26, 2017

Is this a hybrid? Or is it an electric car? This time we focus on the NISSAN NOTE e-POWER. Its new powertrain uses the engine only as a generator and runs 100% on an electric motor. While achieving trademark quiet and powerful motor driving, it has low fuel consumption of 37.2km/l by using the engine for power generation. It also saves the trouble of having to be charged like a normal EV. The SAMURAI TEAM checks the real power of this much-discussed compact car's "New sensation driving"!! We also have a report on a Japanese car magazine which celebrates 50th anniversary. Navigators: Ukyo Katayama (Racing Driver) Peter Lyon (Chairman of the World Car Awards, Motor Journalist)
