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.
I mean if it looks like this, they might actually win me back.
Maybe.
It looks good but it’s essentially a French car, not Japanese unfortunately.
So it’s not made of rust? That’s a win!
Nowadays I wouldn’t worry too much about that. French reliability is still hit or miss.
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.
Tbf, I would consider a Dacia Duster if I needed a cheap 4wd.
I’ve seen a few that had undergone some mild off road modifications and it seems the little machines resemble the old Suzuki Samurai.
