The joint venture Dongfeng Nissan has started taking pre-orders for the brand-new sedan with a plug-in hybrid system, the Nissan N6. Built on the Tianyan architecture, it’s positioned as an entry ticket into the premium hybrid segment. Pre-order pricing ranges from 110,000 to 122,000 yuan ($15,100 – $16,700). Open sales are scheduled for December 8, and the vehicle might be cheaper than pre-order prices suggest. For comparison, $13,600 is the price for a base Lada Iskra in Russia with a 90-horsepower engine, five-speed manual gearbox, and no air conditioning.
