    That rear is horrendous.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    impressive enough I thought - price depending !



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,502 ✭✭✭MojoMaker


    I like the look of that - usable size too. Pricing will have to be on the right side of the Megane to make an impact I reckon.

    I like the look of it, and in particular the rear.
    in this review, they actually drove one, albeit a prototype:

    75kwh battery with 600kms range is not bad at all, and Chademo is finally gone 😄

    Decent boot too, and V2L for what it's worth. 214bhp and 150kw/h charging speed. I'm really liking it now.

    Screen looks a bit sh1te though.

    This is what the Leaf needed. Now, pricing will be key. That 75kWh battery smells expensive.

    Pricing knackered the Ariya so they could well do the same with the new Leaf.

    Rear reminds me Camaro, front Renault 😂


    When is it coming to the Irish market?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,898 ✭✭✭Buddy Bubs


    Does remind me of a few cars currently for sale but plenty to like in the spec used for press releases anyway.

    At least it's their car, so disappointed with the Micra not exactly being a Nissan anymore.

    Nissans warranty terms for the battery need to be checked.

    There was some talk that Nissan *might* have changed their warranty terms after 2022.

    But the bottom of the screen small print terms when I saw the new Leaf on Nissans Uk site.

    Still looked like the old crappy terms where the 8 year warranty was for battery degradation ONLY.

    Meaning that if you have bad cells or the like - you will find Nissan refusing warranty past 5 years and 60,000 miles if the battery still has 70 percent capacity on Nissans diagnostics.

    Even if the bad cells are so bad the car won't even drive......

    That's because the bad cell is considered a component and therefore part of the 5 year or 60,000 mile warranty to use UK terms.

    You can say what you like about Tesla but unless Tesla think you've messed up the battery yourself.

    ANY battery issue seems to be addressed by Tesla under the 8 year warranty no questions asked.

    As it should be......

    Edit.

    Sorry for the rant.

    As an EV enthusiast I get annoyed when EV manufacturers stupid decisions undermine EVs.

    There's not enough swear words in the dictionary to go through what I think of how Porsche do EV recalls for example

    :(

    Spot on, this is dodgy practice by Nissan, no argument there.
