“What’s impressive is that the e Force has 600 Nm of torque. it roughly corresponds to the 4.4-liter engine of the 7-series BMW,” says Oskars Krampāns, TV Autoziņu expert.
Many are still confused by the expected price of the Ariya, which is significantly higher than the value of the Nissan Leaf. But Ariya is not Leaf’s successor at all.
“One of the main things is the quality of the interior. All seams are straight, pods with soft touch. And what is the value of this climate control, which is supposedly embedded in a wooden panel and the buttons do not protrude at all!”
It turns out that apart from driving fast and looking pretty, Ariya can do a lot of other things, such as how to park autonomously unusually fast. For such a large electric car, this is an important skill in the narrowness of the city. But what is the Nissan Qashqai doing here in Stockholm, which is no longer the first fresh model? The compact crossover is the carrier of Nissan e power technology
“The technology differs in that this car has both a fuel engine and an electric motor. But they don’t work together. A gasoline engine is only designed to produce energy for an electric motor.”
In fact, it’s just a range extender, as the 140 kW electric motor does all the hard work.
“This car is equipped with a 1.5 l engine that produces electricity only for the battery. Consumption is 5-6 liters per 100 km.”
Co2 emissions are like a normal self-charging hybrid – 119 g/km.
The E-power connection scheme allows you to operate the 156 hp gasoline engine in optimal modes, store electricity in batteries and control the flow with the help of an inverter. Look familiar? Andra Dambja’s electric “Oscar” was also built according to this principle! Driving a racing car required all the pedals, but one is enough to use the Qashqai e-power!
“Nissan calls it the e pedal. The peculiarity is that with this pedal the car both accelerates and slows down.”
The E pedal, or single pedal control, borrows from the Nissan Leaf, where it first debuted. Only the Qashqai E Power promises to be much cheaper than the Leaf – from 35,790 euros.
