We explore the all-electric Nissan LEAF and Nissan ARIYA, along with the hybrid Nissan Qashqai…
Nissan is part of the global drive towards e-mobility, thanks to its fast-growing range of versatile electrified cars. Spanning three models, Nissan’s family includes the all-electric Nissan LEAF, the all-new Nissan ARIYA crossover, and the mild-hybrid Nissan Qashqai crossover.
And there’s even more to come. An e-POWER version of the Nissan Qashqai – which combines electric vehicle technology with the convenience and familiarity of a petrol engine to bring instant acceleration, smoothness, and the quiet ride of an electric vehicle – is on the horizon, while the 100% electric Nissan Townstar van will hit markets later this year. Furthermore, an all-electric successor to the Nissan Micra has recently been announced, while an all-new EV crossover is set to be produced at Nissan’s Sunderland facility, and the Nissan Juke will shortly welcome a new, smooth hybrid powertrain to its line-up.
With ample room for five and up to 435 litres of luggage space, the Nissan LEAF packs in more than many of its rivals, while range-topping e+ models boast 217PS, 340Nm of torque and up to 239 miles on one charge (WLTP)[1].
Nissan’s newest all-electric model, the Nissan ARIYA, combines sharp Japanese-inspired design, plenty of in-car tech, lounge-like interior and sports car-like credentials in one all-round practical family package.
In rear-wheel drive guise, the Nissan ARIYA offers up to 310 miles of range (WLTP)[1], while all-wheel drive e-4ORCE Performance models boast 394PS and 600Nm of torque. Stir that with rapid charging that can get you from 20%-80% charge in 35 minutes[2], five seats and up to 466 litres of boot space, and the all-new Nissan ARIYA crossover makes for a fun, stylish and versatile family car.
Launched in 2007, the Nissan Qashqai redefined the crossover sector with its blend of hatchback looks and SUV practicality. To date, over 5 million have been sold globally. Now, the all-new Nissan Qashqai is moving its game on once again with mild-hybrid technology. By mating a punchy 1.3-litre turbo engine to an efficient 12V electrical system[3], it offers greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions while sleek looks and up to 504 litres of versatile boot space make it a stylish family car.
So, across the Nissan LEAF, Nissan ARIYA, Nissan Qashqai and the plethora of future models, it’s certain that there’s an electrified Nissan perfect for you.
