Looks like they’re mostly continuing their stance announced earlier this year

Nissan raised its targets for EVs earlier this year, pledging to launch 19 new battery-electric models by 2030. It also said that by the 2026 fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, 98 percent of its sales in Europe would be electrified – fully electric cars and hybrids combined.

            Nissan is partnered with Renault, which is known for its incredibly reliable compact cars. Even their “cheaper” brand, Dacia, has gone on to grpw leaps and bounds in terms of quality. The first ones were simply rebadged Renault models with higher road to chassis clearance nowadays the models have a unique presence.

                I’ve seen a few that had undergone some mild off road modifications and it seems the little machines resemble the old Suzuki Samurai.

    Nissan’s marketshare in Europe is around 2%. They aren’t exactly sacrificing a huge percent of sales by doing this even if a huge percent of people are simply not ready yet.

    Wow that car looks petty neat. I always thought the Leaf was a pretty decent EV (and one of the first more well known ones) and it felt like they never really innovated on it too much. Perhaps this is finally the point where they start doing that again.
