e-4ORCE: Master Every Road with Precision and Power from Nissan

For those adventurous enthusiasts who are passionate about driving, being behind the wheel of a car equipped with an intelligent all-wheel drive system brings confidence to the next level. Whether climbing steep slopes or tackling rough and slippery roads, many types of vehicles, for example, SUVs, come with all-wheel-drive systems that enhance performance and stability on every journey. That’s why Nissan developed e-4ORCE, an advanced electric all-wheel drive technology that delivers precise control and instant response—giving drivers a truly confident and controlled experience.

What is “e-4ORCE”?

e-4ORCE is Nissan’s innovative all-wheel-drive technology, engineered to deliver unparalleled confidence and control on every road. Available in Nissan’s many SUVs worldwide, this advanced system is powered by front and rear electric motors—as the “e” in its name proudly signifies.

The “e” in e-4ORCE stands for Nissan’s 100% electric motor drive system. “4ORCE” (pronounced force) refers to the vehicle’s physical power and energy, with “4” representing all-wheel control.

Developed through Nissan’s cutting-edge innovation, e-4ORCE seamlessly integrates three of the brand’s most advanced systems: e-POWER for smooth, instant, and quiet acceleration; precise all-wheel-drive control for optimal traction; and intelligent chassis management for refined stability and comfort.

The result is a driving experience that’s exceptionally responsive, remarkably stable, and effortlessly confident—no matter the terrain.

How Does e-4ORCE Work?

To understand how e-4ORCE works, let’s first look at its unique design.

Unlike traditional all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems, which use a single engine to send power to the front and rear wheels through mechanical shafts, e-4ORCE uses two independent electric motors—one for the front wheels and one for the rear.

In a traditional AWD setup, power takes time to travel through the mechanical components, creating a slight delay in response. This delay can affect how smoothly and precisely the vehicle handles, especially on rough terrain or steep slopes.

e-4ORCE tackles this challenge with impressive efficiency through its powerful dual electric motors—front and rear, working seamlessly together to supply instant power to all four wheels.

The front and rear motors work independently to deliver optimal power for every turn, acceleration, and stop. Precise left- and right-side brake control further maximizes the efficiency of all four wheels. Unlike conventional all-wheel-drive systems that limit torque distribution to 50:50, e-4ORCE can freely adjust power between the front and rear wheels from 100:0 to 0:100. Working together with its brake-control system, it can also fine-tune left- and right-wheel force with exceptional speed and precision, delivering superior control on any road.

Reduced pitching during braking or while descending steep roads enhances driver control and provides greater comfort for passengers. That’s how the e-4ORCE technology delivers exceptional traction, smooth control, and assured performance on every road.

Instant Response. Better Control. More Confidence.

Nissan has already introduced its e-4ORCE technology in several models, including fully electric BEVs and e-POWER available in markets around the world. Vehicles equipped with e-4ORCE deliver a truly distinctive driving experience — with quick response, enhanced stability, and precise control that have been well received by drivers globally.

When paired with either EV or e-POWER technology, the results become even more impressive. Meanwhile, e-4ORCE precisely manages power distribution to each wheel. Together, these systems provide noticeably smoother acceleration, sharper response, better road holding, and greater confidence in every drive.

Better response means better stability and handling, smoother acceleration, and safer overtaking. Even on slippery roads or steep slopes, the dual electric motors at the front and rear deliver just the right amount of torque—instantly, within 0.1 second—ensuring stable traction and exceptional grip on any surface.

With these advantages, SUVs equipped with e-4ORCE become the perfect choice for adventurous drivers seeking confidence, control, and peace of mind. This innovative technology enhances every journey—allowing you to enjoy both city driving and off-road exploration with complete assurance, no matter where the road leads.
