NissanConnect Infotainment system (with Google built-in)
By integrating Google apps and services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Play and more, drivers can enjoy a seamless, connected journey from departure to arrival.
System operation
1. Google Maps
In addition to always providing the latest map data and real-time traffic information, Google Maps links with vehicle data (such as vehicle speed and position), significantly enhancing route navigation with real-time information.
- Accurate route guidance is available even in areas where GPS signals are not available or lost, such as in tunnels and underground parking.
- The customized navigation UI makes operations such as map zooming simple and intuitive, especially while driving.
- For EVs, Intelligent Route Planner considers driving route options, vehicle state of charge and charging times to recommend the shortest and most efficient routes.
2. Google Assistant
Google Assistant supports an easy and accurate operation experience. To activate Google Assistant just say, "Hey Google" or press the voice control button on your steering wheel to get started.
- Users can search destinations and set routes using natural language voice commands.
- Climate control settings, including temperature and fan speed, can be adjusted using voice commands.
3. Google Play
Access a wide variety of apps, including music, videos and games for enhanced in-car entertainment. Apps can be downloaded while parked.
- To use certain features with Google built-in, you must sign in to a Google Account. Some of the functions are not available while driving.
System mechanism

Enhanced navigation with vehicle data linkage:
Using GPS signals, vehicle speed, gyroscopic and accelerometer data, the system can accurately display your position on the navigation map, even in areas with low or no signal, such as mountainous regions, in tunnels and multi-story parking garages. -
High-performance chipset for smooth operation:
CPU performance is 1.5x higher and GPU performance is 3x higher than previous generations/models, resulting in a significantly enhanced navigation-operation experience. -
Wide display UI:
The sleek and wide, high-resolution display combines a flat design with ease of use. The large, detailed maps provide intuitive and helpful navigation information while driving. When the vehicle is parked, the display provides an immersive viewing experience for videos and other content. -
Cabin acoustics tuning for highly accurate voice recognition:
Echo and noise cancellation technologies help capture clearer Google Assistant voice commands. This helps with accurate voice recognition, even in noisy environments, such as where background music or road noise is present. -
Features that support a seamless EV driving experience:
Using Intelligent Route Planner, the system factors in predicted vehicle speed, road slope, driving conditions, air conditioning usage, auxiliary power consumption and battery state of charge to estimate energy consumption for scheduled trips. This helps improve the accuracy of battery level predictions, even in traffic or during temperature changes. A navigation-linked function also adjusts the battery temperature to optimal levels before reaching charging stations along the route.
