On July 10, the Dongfeng Nissan NX8 Extended Range 260 Pro was launched, with its exterior and interior overall design continuing that of models on sale. With the addition of this model, the NX8 family now offers a total of eight models across both extended-range and pure-electric powertrains.
The Extended Range 260 Pro is a mid-to-large SUV, with body length, width and height of 4,870 mm, 1,920 mm and 1,680 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,917 mm.
The Extended Range 260 Pro is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen and a front passenger entertainment screen. It features the built-in NISSAN OS 2.0 intelligent system and the Qualcomm 8295P cockpit chip. The AI voice assistant Xiao Ni integrates iFlytek Spark large model and DeepSeek-R1 deep reasoning large model, and supports four-zone voice recognition and phone connectivity.
The entire vehicle is equipped with AI Zero-Pressure Cloud Blanket Seats 2.0, featuring 40 massage points and offering 3 intensity levels and 10 modes. The rear seat backrest can be adjusted to a maximum angle of 133°, and all four seats support ventilation, heating, massage and power adjustment functions.
The Extended Range 260 Pro consists of a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender and a drive motor with a maximum power of 195 kW, with the range extender having a maximum power of 109 kW. The range extender adopts seamless intervention technology, with in-cabin noise increase of less than 0.5 dB and body vibration increase of less than 0.01 g when starting.
Xiao Tang's View: The Dongfeng Nissan NX8 extended-range family has formed three pure-electric range tiers of 150 km, 260 km and 310 km. The 150 km range version requires relatively frequent charging, while the 310 km range is long enough but the purchase threshold is correspondingly higher. The launch of the Extended Range 260 Pro seeks a balance between range practicality and price. Compared with the equally priced Extended Range 150 Max, the two are basically consistent in comfort configuration, with the differences mainly reflected in: the 150 Max is equipped with LiDAR and the Momenta intelligent driving system, suitable for users with multi-scenario demands for high-level intelligent assisted driving; the 260 Pro has longer pure-electric range, making it more suitable for families hoping to reduce charging frequency and focusing on daily convenience.
