Nissan Motor Company, a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer, used the Auto China 2024 show in Beijing to showcase its new sedans – the Epoch and Evo. The Beijing Auto Show in China is in full swing, and the focus seems to be electric crossovers and sports utility vehicles (SUVs). However, crossovers and SUVs are obviously not the only vehicles making their presence felt at the exhibition. Japanese automobile brand Nissan used the exhibition to introduce the world to its two aforementioned sedans. The Epoch is an all-electric sedan while the Evo is a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).

Both, the Epoch and Evo, have been built by Nissan in association with a local partner, called Dongfeng Motor. Currently, the sedans are believed to be concepts but both are expected to go into production sooner than later. During a recent press conference, Nissan Chief executive Officer (CEO) Makoto Uchida himself said that both sedans were very close to reality. The development of both vehicles is reportedly at an advanced stage. In fact, Nissan has plans to put the Epoch on sale within a year, whereas the Evo will be brought to the market sometime later.

The Epoch and EVO sedans appear to be quite similar in size, but the Evo seems to have a more daring design with a sleek roofline and a better rear end, exuding an exciting charm. At the exhibition, Nissan showcased the interior of the Evo in detail, which suggests that the company has adopted a Tesla-like minimalist approach for this vehicle by stuffing all controls into a huge tablet-like advanced display. Unlike on the Tesla Model 3 electric sedan, there is a large digital instrument cluster that appears to be a larger than the industry standards, setting the vehicle apart.

In spite of its performance-inspired name, the Japanese automaker has positioned the Evo as a car perfect for leisurely getaways and family adventures, creating special moments. Both vehicles will enter a fiercely competitive landscape as various brands are already competing with one another to dominate the lucrative Chinese car market.

In addition to the Epoch and Eva, Nissan took the opportunity to unveil a couple of SUVs as well at ongoing auto exhibition in China. Following the same design language as their sedan counterparts, both Epic e-SUV and Era PHEV are slated to hit the Chinese market within the next three years.
