Nissan electrified launch Philippines

BGC, TAGUIG — Nissan Philippines just took another big step into the electric space, pulling the curtain back on two brand-new electrified models: the All-New Nissan Primera executive EV and the All-New Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV).

Hosted by Princess Legaspi at Bonifacio High Street, the event wasn’t just a Manila affair. Nissan broadcast the reveal live to twin venues in Cebu and Davao, marking one of the brand’s biggest coordinated launches in recent memory.

Expanding Beyond e-POWER

Following up on the recent releases of the X-Trail e-POWER and Kicks e-POWER, Nissan Philippines President Yoshinori Kanazawa made it clear that the goal isn’t just selling electric cars—it’s giving drivers options that match how they actually live.
