Nissan has unveiled the fourth generation of the Elgrand, its luxury minivan aimed at the Japanese market.

According to the website Motor1, the model arrives after 15 years without a complete redesign and debuts with an entirely revamped appearance, new hybrid technology, and a cabin focused on passenger comfort.

The main new feature is the adoption of the third generation of the e-Power hybrid system, which replaces the previous four- and six-cylinder engines.

The system uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine solely as a generator to supply power to the electric motors responsible for driving the wheels.

The minivan also features the e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system, which distributes power between the axles to improve stability and comfort.

Inside, the Elgrand adopts a premium approach to compete with models such as the Toyota Alphard.

The top-of-the-range version offers individual rear Zero Gravity seats with reclining functions and leg rests, along with two 14.3-inch screens for the front occupants, a 22-speaker Bose audio system, 64-color ambient lighting, finishes inspired by Kumiko woodwork, and semi-autonomous driving features.
