Nissan has passed a significant milestone in Europe, with more than 1.25 million electrified vehicles sold across the region, including almost 350,000 fully electric models. The achievement underlines Nissan’s long-standing commitment to electrification, having been one of the pioneers of the modern EV movement with the original LEAF, while also expanding its range to offer customers a wider choice of electrified powertrains.
The Japanese manufacturer now boasts its broadest European electrified line-up to date, comprising the all-new electric MICRA, third-generation LEAF, updated Ariya and the refreshed X-Trail equipped with Nissan’s e-POWER technology. The latest models were recently showcased to European media during a driving event in Barcelona, highlighting the different electrified technologies available to suit a variety of customer lifestyles.
Nissan’s EV range is set to grow further with the arrival of a new A-segment electric model later this year, followed by an all-electric JUKE in early 2027. Together with the Townstar and Interstar electric vans, the brand will soon offer five fully electric passenger cars in Europe.
Clíodhna Lyons, Region Vice President for Product & Services Planning at Nissan AMIEO, said the company remains focused on giving customers the flexibility to choose the electrified technology that best suits their needs. “Every customer approaches electrification differently,” she said. “Whether choosing a 100 per cent electric vehicle, our unique e-POWER technology or one of our hybrid models, our goal is to give customers the confidence and freedom to choose the vehicle that best fits their lifestyle.”
Nissan believes offering a mix of battery electric, hybrid and e-POWER models is the best way to support Europe’s transition towards lower-emission mobility while making electrified driving more accessible to a broader range of motorists. The wider market continues to reflect that shift. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), electrified vehicles accounted for 61.3 per cent of all new car registrations across the EU in 2025, up from 51.7 per cent the previous year. Hybrid models also overtook petrol-powered cars to become Europe’s best-selling powertrain, accounting for 34.5 per cent of new vehicle registrations.
