When choosing a new car to buy, you take into account a number of different factors. Qualities such as design, interior material choice and horsepower all can play a big role in deciding if a certain vehicle fits your lifestyle well. One of the most important traits to consider however is the gas mileage, which can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the course of the car’s lifetime. Nissan’s new e-Power engine, which can be found on the upcoming Nissan Note, is looking to be a revolutionary development as it has drastically boosted the fuel economy of the car.

 

The e-Power engine is a replacement for traditional combustion engines, and works in a slightly different way. It still makes use of a combustion system, but it takes that energy and uses it to power an electric motor that drives the car forward. The first test prototype of this engine also rivals the horsepower and torque output of internal combustion engines, allowing you to save on gas without losing any driving power or acceleration. Thanks to this engine’s S mode, it can reduce gas consumption by operating at the lowest revs.

 

So just how much can this engine save you? The latest test drive on the streets of Yokohama yielded an average of a whopping 88 miles per gallon. This is easily over 50 miles per gallon more than most hybrid sedans in the U.S. and 60 more than traditional gas-powered cars. If you think that may just be one test drive, the official, JCo8-sanctioned consumption is 87.5 miles per gallon. Even over rough terrain such as hills, the car still gets over 50 miles per gallon.
