Nissan is expected to fully remodel its new sports sedan Skyline (V38 type) and release it around 2025. This time, it is said that a BEV (battery electric vehicle) model will also be included in the lineup. The current model, the Skyline (V37 type), has been on sale since February 26, 2014, and is the first full model change in 11 years. In Europe and the United States, it is sold under the INFINITI brand and sold as the “ Infiniti Q50.” On October 24, 2023, the EV concept car “Vision Qe” was unveiled as part of the electrification of the “Infiniti” product lineup. This is expected to be the next Skyline ( Infiniti Q50).

About Nissan’s new Skyline full model change exterior

Looking at the Infiniti Vision Qe concept, it is extremely advanced in that it combines a sleek, low and wide form with digital piano key lights and impressive machined finish wheels.

EV concept car “Vision Qe”

Infiniti’s Vision Qe concept shows the design direction for Infiniti’s first electric vehicle, which will be produced at the company’s Canton plant in the United States. This concept combines an elegant, low and wide form with digital piano key lights and impressive machined finish wheels.

At the 46th Tokyo Motor Show 2019, the electric vehicle (EV) concept model ” NISSAN ARIYA CONCEPT” was unveiled for the first time in the world, but in the case of the Ariya, it will be commercially available with almost the same design as the concept model. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the Skyline will be released with a similar design.

The exterior design of the next Skyline’s 4 round tail lights has been released.

At the briefing session for Nissan’s new business plan “The Arc” held on March 25, 2024, a video showing the silhouettes of several new models that are expected to be released in the future was released. We were able to confirm that one of these models uses a round 4-light tail.

Personally, I would like to introduce some of the highlights in this video. First, at around 0:16 in the beginning of the video, there are many videos of Nissan’s car models that have been involved in the past. The other models shown with the “Qe” concept are commercially available models, but they are related to the 30 cars being introduced. Infiniti’s “Vision Qe” concept is said to be the next Skyline, so it has been hinted at.

Furthermore, various car models are shown, but the Skyline’s distinctive four-light round tail lamp is shown, so there is no doubt that the next Skyline will be in the lineup.

The three-company alliance of Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi Motors has adopted the newly developed CMF-EV platform, a dedicated EV platform that will be adopted in more than 15 vehicle models by 2030, with production of up to 1.5 million units per year planned. To do. This platform has a flat and spacious floor, and by placing the air conditioning unit that was previously placed inside the room in the motor room, it has a segment-level spacious interior that is one size larger than the conventional body size. To do. Additionally, the slim design of the Zero Gravity Seat and the generous use of sound-insulating materials, even though this is an EV with low noise levels, make it extremely quiet.

About Nissan’s new Skyline full model change interior

The interior features the same dual 12.3-inch displays used on the Aria and a woodgrain instrument panel. This panel does not have physical switches like conventional ones, and when you turn on the car, icons for operating the air conditioner and other controls appear. These switches are not just touch sensors, but haptic switches that vibrate so you can feel the operation even while driving.

The center display can show maps, music information, etc., and can also be operated by swiping. Furthermore, navigation routes and other information can be displayed on the meter display, and the two displays are seamlessly connected. The air conditioning and navigation can also be controlled by voice, and it is equipped with a hybrid voice recognition function that allows operations using natural language. This function supports driver operations by saying “Hello Nissan,” and connects to the Internet to realize voice recognition in a more natural language. In addition, Skyline is also equipped with Amazon Alexa, a voice service provided by Amazon, which allows you to play music, check the weather forecast, talk to family and friends, control smart home devices, etc. using just your voice. is.

The wide center console can be electrically moved back and forth to suit the driver’s seating position. Above it is a newly designed shift knob with “Advanced Ambient Lighting”, and a Qi-standard wireless charger is installed in the center console.

Nissan’s new “Skyline” fully remodeled “ProPilot 3.0” and other advanced driving support systems adopted

It is equipped with Nissan’s advanced driving support systems “ProPilot 3.0” and “ProPilot Remote Parking.” In addition, like the Leaf, it is also equipped with ProPILOT Parking.

In 2019,  the Skyline was launched equipped with “ProPILOT 2.0,” which is equivalent to Level 2 autonomous driving technology. Therefore, it is highly likely that the new  Skyline will use ProPILOT 3.0, which is equivalent to level 3 autonomous driving technology.

Propilot 2.0

“ProPilot 2.0” uses seven cameras, five radars, and 12 sonar mounted on the vehicle to detect white lines, traffic signs, and surrounding vehicles. Furthermore, the navigation system and 3D high-precision map data are combined to understand road conditions and maintain a state in which the driver can safely drive hands-off. The system displays driver assistance status in real time on the meter display and head-up display, and also uses Advanced Ambient Lighting to indicate ProPILOT’s operating status. A driver monitor camera checks the driver’s attention and alerts the driver with an audible warning if necessary. It also quickly stops the vehicle during hands-off driving.

ProPILOT Parking automatically detects available parking spaces and assists with parking operations. It supports forward-facing, rear-facing, and parallel parking, and parks in three steps. ProPILOT Remote Parking also includes a function that allows you to park your vehicle from outside the vehicle.

Nissan’s new “Skyline” full model change Equipped with newly developed EV powertrain

The newly developed EV powertrain uses the motor and battery installed in  the Aria . If the total battery power is 65kWh, the maximum output will be 250kW and the maximum torque will be 560Nm. On the other hand, if the total battery power is 90kWh, the maximum output will be 290kW and the maximum torque will be 600Nm. As a result, it is expected to have the same power as the previous generation  Skyline , but with better performance in acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.The previous highest acceleration in  Skyline history was the Skyline 400R, which accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds (Nissan official), but  the Aria , which has a total battery power of 90 kWh and a maximum output of 290 kW, accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h. At 5.1 seconds, it would definitely be the fastest time ever.

A word from the editorial department

With the introduction of a new EV powertrain, the next-generation  Skyline is expected to have incredible performance that surpasses its predecessor. Adopting the motor and battery performance proven in  the Aria will bring about dramatic advances in acceleration and power. In particular, it is expected to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h at the fastest time ever, making a major contribution to improving  the Skyline ‘s sports performance. With this new evolution,  the Skyline will offer an even greater driving experience and will further raise the expectations of fans.

summary

We have been thinking about a full model change for  the Skyline , but currently, Nissan’s electric vehicle models include the light vehicle “SAKURA,” the compact car “Leaf,” and the crossover SUV ”  ARIA ,” and the remaining body types are sedan types. I think the most appropriate name is ”  Skyline ,” which is the most important vehicle name for Nissan and its history . Furthermore, the sedan type is not popular in the market, so if the  Skyline lineup continues as a gasoline model, there is no doubt that sales will decline. It is expected that the 14th generation will be a BEV as the Skyline returns.
