The unusual mobile is to show a more emotional design language for the classic sedan. As the main target group for the Ellure sees Nissan design director Shiro Nakamura, "Women in their 30s and 40s who have a passion for elegant design and feel a shot in the rebellion."

The proportions are similar to those of a midsize sedan. The car has short overhangs, but should still provide a large trunk. For the aerodynamic fine-tuning includes an air-optimized front section, a barbecue with reduced air vents, a fully enclosed underside and low rolling resistance Michelin tires. Lateral and recessed mounted cameras to replace the mirrors, and thus their wind resistance. The spaces between the 21-inch light-alloy rims in five-star design are partly covered with transparent covers, so to minimize air turbulence.

Eye-catcher in the interior of the Ellure is the floating and transparent center console. It is also upholstered in white leather and has a red on the undersides of the backlight. A more appropriate to the console controller allows the operation of air conditioning and heating system, audio and navigation system and other functions. Also, the panoramic glass roof with red LED inserts.


The proposal for the Ellure hybrid drive consists of a charged via compressor 2.5-liter four-cylinder and controlled by a 25-kilowatt electric motor, whose work as required by an intelligent dual-clutch system and a lithium-ion battery pack and synchronized. A continuously variable Xtronic CVT transmission transfers the power to the front wheels, a regenerative braking system returns energy to the batteries.
