Nissan has officially brought back the iconic Elgrand luxury MPV with a complete redesign, marking its first full model update in 16 years. The fourth-generation Elgrand returns with a bold new look, advanced hybrid technology, and a premium cabin aimed at challenging rivals such as the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire.
Fresh Design With Premium Appeal
The new Elgrand adopts Nissan’s latest design language, featuring a large illuminated front grille, sleek LED headlights, full-width rear lighting, and a more aerodynamic body. Despite the modern styling, it retains the spacious, boxy silhouette that has long made the Elgrand a popular luxury people mover.
Third-Generation e-POWER Hybrid
Powering the all-new Elgrand is Nissan’s latest third-generation e-POWER hybrid system. The setup combines a petrol engine that acts as a generator with electric motors driving the wheels, delivering smoother acceleration, quieter operation, and improved fuel efficiency compared to the previous model. Select variants also receive Nissan’s advanced e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system for enhanced stability and traction.
Luxury Cabin Gets a Major Upgrade
Inside, the Elgrand offers a premium seven-seat layout with captain seats in the second row, high-quality materials, larger digital displays, wireless smartphone connectivity, and multiple charging options. Nissan has also improved cabin insulation to make long journeys quieter and more comfortable.
Advanced Safety Features
The luxury MPV comes equipped with Nissan’s latest ProPILOT driver assistance suite. Depending on the variant, buyers can expect adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, traffic jam assistance, automatic emergency braking, and enhanced highway driving support.
Positioned Against Toyota’s Premium MPVs
With the launch of the new Elgrand, Nissan is directly targeting Toyota’s highly successful Alphard and Vellfire models. The company hopes the redesigned MPV will strengthen its presence in the premium family vehicle segment while helping boost domestic sales in Japan.
Launch and Availability
The all-new Nissan Elgrand has gone on sale in Japan, with prices starting from approximately 6.9 million yen. While Nissan has not announced plans for other global markets, the return of the Elgrand signals the brand’s renewed focus on premium hybrid vehicles and modern family mobility.
