Agreed this should have the Ariya powertrain, imo this is the best looking Nissan crossover exterior design since the 1st gen Murano, the interior looks pretty nice, and I like that there is a trend of Nissan moving off CVTs. If I was in the market to lease a mid-size crossover I wouldn’t rule out test driving this.

It just looks like it should have been an EV. I’d say the Ariya should be scrapped and This should have it’s powertrain. They have the Rouge, Pathfinder, and Armada already, why is there yet another crossover that does the same things in their lineup? I think there’s room for a 240SX revival in there. Make it start at…

Now how about a manual behind the 392?  And if we are really going at it, where is the 392 gladiator?  

I think it’s more to do with the 4cyl being turbo, doesnt matter the brand people just view them as an expensive item that will have to be replaced

What are the folks in Colorado putting in the water such that this makes sense to them?

It’s Colorado, and the dealership is counting both the Federal Tax Credit and the Colorado Tax Credit into the calculation.

so, someone could get the least and a month after, simply buy back the lease and pay 17,388$ for the whole car. Plus taxes and fees.

So basically getting a brand new 500e for around 20k? 

Hey Siri, remind me in 25 years

My interest has been piqued...But I live in America! So we won’t get something this cool, Ever because of the SUV consumer =( ...and Trumps Tarrifs if that ever comes to fruition.

If this were an SUV you’d probably complain that it’s just another SUV, why isn’t it a sports car

I don’t think that’s their intent. All they did was release some artsy fashion commercial and people assume it’s for the gays and bring out the pitchforks. I think that’s hilarious. But if that is the case, then I do think there could be a demographic and it’s not destined for failure.

His comment about Tesla highlights the massive conflict of interest Musk has. No CEO should be in government, much less the world’s richest, with lucrative government contracts.

It’s amazing how the leaders of MAGA know how insanely stupid their base is, and how shamelessly they pander to and intentionally foster that ignorance.

I vote for he knows he’s lying and doesn’t care.

Too much CGI, not enough actual object. They really need something more concrete here. 

What is there to be obsessed about? We all drew this car as a doodle in fourth grade math.

I just read a piece on this in SF paper and they quoted fire department saying that the battery pack did NOT catch on fire(?)...  I’m just not coming up with what could engulf a vehicle in flames, in/on an EV, that is not the batteries?

Is jalopnik going to write an article about every fatal car crash now? If so there are about 100 per day...

You make it sound like the truck driver himself is at fault. Seems to me like that would only be the case if A) he owned the trailer and B) he didn’t properly maintain it. I imagine he’s an employee of the transport company.
