The Nissan Company introduced their hybrid make of cars into the market with the release of the Nissan Hi-Cross car this year. The Nissan Hi-Cross makes its debut into the hybrid market with its introduction into the motor shows in the region of Los Angeles. The whole Nissan team in the region was proud and happy with the entering of the company into this market. With the domination of Toyota with their popular Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles, it is a great achievement. Vice President and General Manager, Al Castignetti, calls the make a “sculpted style with the inclusion of everyday utilities.” The vehicle is much like every other vehicle in the world except that it has some extra functionality that makes it stand out from the rest. This is what the company aims to achieve with the release of this car.

What it is Not

While there may be many misconceptions about this car, it should be noted that the company would not wish to have its customers believe that they will offer more than they are able to give. With the concept of a vehicle in mind, the Nissan Hi-Cross is not much of a thrill for high-end consumers. This is because most people who visit motor shows always want to see very exceptional and high-class designs. However, with the level of consumers expected to be using this type of hybrid vehicles in mind, the Nissan Hi-Cross does exceptionally well to fit this purpose.

What Makes It Stand Out?

Nissan refers to the hybrid technology as the technology that uses one motor and two clutches. This is attributed to the fact that the clutch on these vehicles is placed between the electric motors and the 2 liter engine. This, according to the manufacturer, is a fascinating feature since it sets them apart from the rest of the manufacturers in the market. The other clutch is located behind the transmission to ensure that the transmission process takes place as smoothly as possible. The car also has a lithium-ion battery that is fitted into Nissan’s next generation Xtronic variable transmission. This is a new concept in the Pathfinder line of production.

How Much You Can Expect to Pay For This

The production of this car is still at the conceptual stages and your guess with regard to the price is as good as ours. The price is however, expected to be relatively lower considering the government interventions to make the prices of hybrid vehicles affordable to the population. Therefore, you can start saving up to get yourself this machine.
