Nissan is completely electric. Nissan LEAF Available inexpensive Electric Mobile

New cars of the model range of 2018-2019 represents the Nissan Leaf 2 generation electrocar, shown publicly on August 5, 2017 in Japan and America. The world premiere of the new body model of the Japanese electric car Nissan Lif (Leaf) 2019 is scheduled for in mid-September 2017. In our review Nissan Leaf 2018-2019 - photos and videos, price and equipment, the technical characteristics of the successor of the most popular electric car in the world today. Sales of Nissan Leaf 2 generations start with native to Nissan Motors Japan in October 2017 price from $ 29,000. And in early 2018, in Europe and America, at the initial cost of $ 29900, which is 690 dollars less than the price of the predecessor. The new electric car is planned to be sold in 60 countries of the world, among whom Russia has entered. An annoying, but for now it is not known when a new bodice gets to Russian car enthusiasts.

The electric hatchback Nissan Leaf of the first generation debuting in 2010 for incomplete 7 years of production became a real bestseller among mass electrocarbers. During the production world around the world, more than 283,000 copies of the Japanese electric vehicle Nissan bodice are sold, most of which (about 112,000 cars) in the American market. However, time does not stand still and auto an American company specializing exclusively on the production of electric vehicles, gaining increasing popularity. An electric vehicle published in mid-2012 despite the high cost has already found more than 190 thousand owners. And with the advent of a more affordable model - I have been able to collect a record 455,000 before the start of sales !!! Preliminary applications for acquiring the situation in the electric vehicle market will clearly change, and clearly not in favor of Nissan.

So, analyzing the sales of competitors, the leadership of the Japanese Nissan literally lost sleep, but ... "The second" Leaf is able to consolidate and multiply the success of the first generation of the model, the benefit on his side the mass of the pros.

Firstly, the price is less than 30 thousand dollars, Tesla Model 3 is worth a minimum of 35,000, Chevrolet Bolt is even more expensive - from $ 36,600.
Secondly, the stylish body exterior design with sporting notes.
Third, a comfortable salon with a solid set of equipment and a solid volume of the luggage compartment is 435 liters.
Fourth, a new more powerful 150-strong electric motor with a maximum torque of 320 nm.
Fifth, more capacious 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, allowing to overcome on one charge up to 378 km (European NEDC cycle) or 242 km on a more realistic American EPA cycle.

That's just all this is clearly not enough to become the bestseller of the segment of mass electric cars. Whether the forces of the Japanese novelty will take away the buyers from the same Tesla Model 3 models (235-strong motor, 60 kWh battery) and Chevrolet Bolt (200-Strong motor, 40 kW / h Battery and ability to overcome up to 383 km along the EPA cycle). Here is a question?
In a word, the final verdict of the new generation of electric vehicle Nissan Lif will take away buyers, and it remains to just tell us about the novelty.

• External dimensional body sizes of the new Nissan LEAF 2018-2019 are 4480 mm in length, 1790 mm wide, 1545 mm high, with a 2700 mm wheelbase and 150 mm of road lumen.
• The wheel track is 1540 mm, the rear wheels are 1555 mm.
• The coefficient of windshield aerodynamic resistance of the body is 0.28 cx.
• It is completed with 16-17 inch wheels with tires, respectively, 205/55 R16 or 215/50 R17.
• The mass of the car in the currency of 1535 kg, and the total maximum mass of 1765-1795 kg.

The "second" Nissan Life received from designers a much more pretty, stylish and charismatic body than the predecessor. The novelty looks very sporty and aggressive. With a predatory view of headlight headlights and an anterior bumper, complemented by aerodynamic elements, stylish strokes of the rear dimensional lamps, located on a solid feed with a powerful bumper.

In stock Fashionable soaring roof with darkened rear rack, powerfully bloated wheeled arches, high submool line, smoothly running to the feed line roof, stylish hood relief, excellent climbing on the rear wings. Recognizing honestly, that, despite some similarity with the first generation of the model, the new Leaf lost his dull and frankly boring design of the predecessor.

It remains only to add that the manufacturer offers the opportunity to order a car with a two-color coloring body. In this case, the roof, the roof racks and the housing of the rearview mirrors can be black or dark blue, or the roof, the rear stand and mirrors are painted black.

Nissan Leaf 2018-2019 New Generation Five Salon 2018-2019 modeling looks good and qualitatively, but somehow boring. The interior may also be modern, but does not cling the originality of the details. In stock Multifunctional steering wheel with truncated bottom rim, instrument panel with analog dial and large color multifunction screen, multimedia complex with a 7-inch touch color display (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, circular survey system), comfortable chairs for the driver and front Passenger with advanced side support, cozy rear seats, providing comfortable accommodation of three people.
Separately, it is worth mentioning about new electronic chips that have become a new generation of bodice. This Propilot Complex, allowing the car to move independently without the driver's intervention on the country highway, but, however, within just one band: the car independently picks up the speed, slows down and slows down, corrects the trajectory of motion.

The Propilot Park system will provide autonomous parking of the new electric vehicle also without the driver's participation: electronics not only regulates the operation of the accelerator and brake pedals, but also rotates the steering wheel.

The Propilot included in the Propilot complex is the E-Pedal function. By activating the driver with a special button, the driver can accelerate and braking the electric vehicle only by the accelerator pedal. When you press the pedal there is an acceleration of the machine, and when the pedal is released, the recovery mode turns on, and the car slows smoothly, up to a complete stop. According to the manufacturer E-Pedal, it is capable of 90% to provide adequate braking, and only 10% of the driver has to prescribe to the brake pedal.

Specifications Nissan LEAF 2018-2019. We want to note that the basis of the new product is the modernized predecessor platform with a simple suspension scheme (front of the McPherson rack, and behind the beam of the twist).
In motion, the Japanese electric car leads a new EM57 electric motor (150 hp 320 nm) in a single block with an inverter and gearbox. The thrust from the electric motor is transmitted to the front wheels.
Lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 40 kWh are located under the floor of the electric hatchback within the database. The stock of electrical fuel is fully charged, according to the manufacturer, to overcome 378 km (European NEDC cycle), 400 km (Japanese JC08 cycle) and 242 km (American EPA cycle).
The electric motor of the new leaf allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh for 9.8-10.0 seconds, the maximum speed is limited by electronics at the turn of 144 km.

The process of restoring the stock of electrical fuel in the batteries takes 16 hours from the power outlet in 3 kW. If you need an emergency refueling with the help of a special charging complex, restore electrical fuel in the lithium-ion battery can be 80% in just 40 minutes.
It is very interesting that the bay battery can be used as a backup power supply for household appliances in the event of power outage in the house.

Nissan LEAF 2018-2019 Video Test

Just two years needed engineers that Nissan Lif would have passed the path from the concept to the current serial model, and hitting the conveyor in 2010, after a year Nissan Leaf. Ze0 / Aze0 won the title "Car of the Year" in Japan, USA and Europe.

Design

Externally, Nissan Lifa is no different from representatives of the car of its class, except that the electrocar does not have exhaust pipes, but not to notice the Nissan Leaf in the urban flow will be difficult. And although the appearance may seem like someone not entirely outreach, nevertheless the car has a compact size and quite spacious.

on the left of the CHADEMO port for DC (fast charging "Chademo"), on the right SAE J1772 port for AC (from the outlet)

It is possible to charge from the standard AC network, that is, from the household outlet (16 amp / 220 volts) - but longer. Complete charge from the outlet takes from 5 to 8 hours.

With a power outlet for 40 amperes, the battery charge time is 80% will take 1.5 hours, the battery will be charged for 2.5-3 hours.

With quick charging battery it is possible to charge 80% in 20 minutes, but for this requires a special charging station.

Safety

The electric vehicle is quite uninhabable, since it does not have flammable liquids, and is equipped with eight airbags.

There is no risk to be shocking, as the battery and electric motor are sealed.

It is also worth noting that Nissan Leaf is absolutely calmly overcomes the brother depth to 60 cm.

Crush test

At the crash test, which was conducted by the European Institute of Examination of New Car, Nissan Lifa received the highest ratings.

Tests took place in three stages:

• passenger safety;
• safety of high-voltage network;
• protection of the battery;

Nissan Leaf has passed full-scale strength tests, including frontal collisions, side shocks and a punch in a pillar.

In the case of an accident with which airbags worked, the supply of energy in the car will be discontinued

According to the results of the crash test, it was determined that the combination of durable bodies and a strong battery allow you to maintain the integrity of the machine and the power grid.

Five-door hatchback bodice showed high results:

• 89% in adult passenger safety tests;
• 83% for children's safety;
• 84% for the operation of onboard security systems;

In addition, the electrocar Nissan was relatively safe and pedestrians (65%) due to the small number of so-called "hard points" in the front of the car.

Minor Change.

In 2015, Nissan Leaf was slightly updated. Externally, the car has practically not changed. Inside and the technically updated bodice was slightly modernized in order to reduce the consumption of electricity.

In 2017, a new model of the 2018 model year was introduced, more modern, technological and efficient.

Pros and cons

The disadvantages will be found in an absolutely any vehicle, and they are individually for each of them, so to begin withdrawing the advantages of the electrocarbon in front of the car with a gasoline / diesel engine.

Of the advantages of Nissan Lifa, it is worth noting perhaps the most important - environmental friendliness, because the purpose of creating such a car and is to preserve the environment.

The car does not pollute the air and has in comparison with the machine-operating machine - less liquids and oils that must be changed periodically. In addition to everything, from recycled materials in Nissan LEAF carpets, protection, silence are made.

One of the considerable service costs is planned, and since the electric vehicle does not have an internal combustion engine and transmission, then it is enough to replace the oil in the gearbox 1 time per 24,000 km of run.

Small, but nevertheless a pleasant moment in the duration of the brake pad service. This is due to the fact that the main braking is due to the recovery of energy, and the pads perform a secondary function.

Outcome

Summing up, the first generation Nissan Leaf is characterized as an absolutely environmentally friendly urban electric car whose rechargeable battery can be charged at home.

The electric motor that is installed instead of a regular motor - quiet and with high-speed acceleration gives completely different feelings during the trip.

To understand what an electric car is enough to make one trip, at least in order to find out which there may be flaws in it as in a car for daily use.

For example, the same bodice is perfect as a second car, or as a vehicle for movement in the city and suburbs.

Blue Nissan Leaf on the road

Eighty six electrotic Nissan Leaf wheel chains today on the roads of the world. Eco-car, barely appeared on the world, was noted at once with two prestigious awards: "World car 2011" and "European car of 2011". It is currently sold on the planet electric car.

When you first look at the electromobile Nissan Leaf you understand that the machine is space. But, as the Japanese themselves admitted, if it were in their authority, Nissan became different not similar to any model released before. And because of the circumstances, they decided not to be too wise in order not to meet the misunderstandings of buyers.

In the appearance of Nissan Leaf, immediately affects the feed, the decoration of which is long lanterns.

In the internal "decoration" Nissan Leaf there is something similar to existing models that makes it recognizable, but a lot of original and new. Designers found something average for the interior of the cozy salon of an electric vehicle.

Considering the size of the Nissan LEAF wheelbase - 200 mm, it is clear that there can be no close Nissan, although there are not very much space on the gallery for tall passengers. In the height of centimeters takes out the attached roof design.

It's not too comfortable in the back seat to sit threesome because of a high tunnel under your feet. In addition, spaces do not give a month and a half Nissan Leaf width.

But on the front chairs and spacious and comfortable (in view of the high ceilings).

Contrary to the apparent inconvenience, the seats in Nissan Leaf soft and comfortable. Positively you can respond about the entire ergonomics of the cabin. Is that wishing you can make the driver's seat adjustable in height. Instead, configure mono the angle of inclination of the pillow and adjust the seat (mechanical adjustment). Salon's lining Nissan Leaf is rustic, this is not to increase the model, already dear. In addition, for Premium class, to which Nissan electric vehicle belongs, costly materials and are not needed.

AVTOGAZHET.

In Nissan Leaf digital equipment. There is not a single device with old technician.

The dashboard in Nissan Leaf, occupies a central place. There are present on it Temperature and charge pointers (instead of a speedometer) and an indicator that is notified about the turn of the stroke. Here is such an interesting "chip", which shows the level used at this time of the power of the electric motor - Ready chain with running white point.

On a separate Nissan screen, a clock, a thermometer, a speedometer and a growing or decreasing tree indicating the energy used are displayed on a separate screen. Moreover, there may be a lot of them between drivers even pass the competition, who will "grow" more.

Present in Leaf and second color screenwhich is functional, but less important. It works as a navigator, manages the audio system, in addition, withdraw graphical information, according to which the driver is judging the state of the Nissan machine, the intensity of the recovery, the level of electricity consumption by the main electrical equipment (climate-contolt, engine, etc.). Also on Nissan Leaf implemented the functions of charging and the nearest charge stations. But, what is relevant to Europe, our warrior, usually without need.

It is very convenient that it is installed using a computer charging timer. Usually they are trying to bind to a cheaper night rate (and again it is for Europe). You can install a program on a computer that will warm Nissan Leaf, cool the salon to the owner's arrival. To do this, it is enough to have a smartphone.

LEAF gearboxes no, so joystick It is necessary only to file the "Forward-Back" command and select the mode of operation (economical or usual). In the car there is only a block that combines the gearbox, an investor and an electric motor.

It is important that silent Nissan so as not to scare pedestrians, equipped with a sound system resembling whistle. It turns on at speeds more than thirty kilometers automatically, but it is easy to turn off.

It is important that LEAF is not bad already in the basic configuration, unlike the other cars. From options that are a bit, you can mark the solar battery compensating for the flow of electricity to the "entertaining" and a signal, in the rear spoiler.

Specifications

The heart of this wonderful electric car Nissan Leaf is synchronous three-phase motorhaving a power of 80 kW and torque torque - 280 nm. Energy in Nissan delivers the engine lithium ion batterydeveloped by the company in conjunction with NEC. Inside each block (they are only 48) there are four flat layers that give a total power of 24 kW. This is enough to drive on Leaf 160 km - it is enough for the daytime run of any car. Battery weight - three hundred kilograms.

The compact battery was able to place within the wheelbase, under the bottom of Nissan. Due to the decline in the center of gravity, it was possible to achieve the maximum stability of Nissan Leaf and the smoothness of the course: at a speed of 60 km / h, when turning, no body roll is noted and there is no hint that the machine can deviate from the specified trajectory.

The speed of the electromotive Nissan Leaf means is gaining surprisingly gently. How much this happens rapidly depends on which motion mode is selected. With the "ECO" mode, nothing will happen even if the pedal append "to the floor". In the "Drive" mode, on the contrary, to feel the entire dynamics can be fully. Overclocking Leaf will be rapid, but somewhat will decrease the distance of the mileage.

The platform on which the LEAF is built in front has a McPherson rack, and behind the twisting beam.

McPherson McPerson

Upholstered with skin steering wheel in Nissan, tactfully pleasant and perfectly falls into the hands, but almost the entire information in the wheel in the wheel, steals the electric powerful. But perfectly configured that adds confidence on the road.

About brakes in testing Nissan Leaf experts, the opinion is contradictory. This does not apply that the braking efficiency is reduced by a somewhat recovery system that turns the braking energy into electricity (this is quite normal), and the small course of the pedal.

Aerodynamics

Summary, acoustic comfort and aerodynamics in Leaf work together, although the aerodynamics are primary from which economy directly depends on. The streamlined forms of Nissan talk about a small resistance ratio. But headlights were developed so that air flows were allocated from the side mirror so that they could redirect to the rear spoiler. Not just for beauty and diffuser.

The flat bottom of Nissan Leaf makes it very effective, consequence of which is the minimum of aerodynamic noise penetrating the salon. The visibility from the driver's seat in Leaf, as a result of the fight against the wind, was somewhat suffered: the stands are widespread and overly littered back. But on the mirrors of the salon and lateral, we can say that they will cope with their task "excellent."

Power consumption

The distance covered on one charging is 160 km. But, this value is highly dependent on the style of driving, the temperature "overboard" the electric vehicle, the intensity of using the air conditioner and age of the battery. Under the conditions of the city strongly eat the battery charge Permanent seat in traffic jams.

Counted that the cost of one charging is 8 UAH or 32 rublesWhat is ten times less than it is required for an electric vehicle with an economy (i.e., the energy is consumed by 3.3 kW * h), which corresponds to the work of three hair dryers for drying hair.

Charging a car

The Nissan charging process is similar to charging other electric vehicles. LEAF in front of the hood has two ports - for charging fast (at charging stations) and for charging from the household network. In the first case, half an hour will need to charge 80%, and in the second you need eight hours so that the battery is charged with Full.

The only difference between Nissan Leaf, as the manufacturers declare, the durability of the battery, which should not lose more than 20% over five years of operation, for which it is not necessary to allow complete discharge and not abuse charging short. If the battery capacity during the warranty (five years) falls below the permissible, the company will produce free battery replacement.

But, it does not apply to us again.

Price Nissan Leaf.

This car is within 35 thousand dollarsBut taking into account the subsidies of the regional and federal stipulated state, the American buyer, for example, will pay only thirty thousand for it. It is easy to calculate that it will cost the Russian buyer - from 800 000 rublesBut this is if you buy a new one.

If you take a bu, then the average price in Russia 600 000 rubles 2011-2012.

Where to buy Nissan Leaf

In Ukraine, Nissan is sold on the site http://ecoist.com.ua/elektromobil-nissan-leaf.htm. . And it is officially sold and in Russia for example on the site http://auto.drom.ru/nissan/leaf/ Although only 50 charged stations already operate in the capital. But there are no state support for the Program of a private company yet, therefore, about "clean" machines to speak early.

I would like the situation to change, because this world brand electric car for adequate money is an electric-designed version that many would be happy with pleasure. The point is not even in ecology, to the question of which we are ready for now mentally, but in savings to which drivers strive. But, while we are separated with civilized countries deep abyss.

Electric car nissan leaf reviews

Auto without exaggeration cool, but the mass itself buy Nissan will be able only when the cost at least as it will be comparable to the cost of liquid fuel. Problems for the consumer two are the price and charging stations.

Alexander Berezovsky, USA, Stemet

The reason for the popularity is that Nissan is almost ordinary, in not frightening the sense of the word, car: the trunk (roomy and full) rear, and the mechanisms and the engine are in front. Violating the idilion of the trunk battery unit. The absence in it, whatever restrictions inherent in other "electricians", and makes it so popular. Well, and the price that is in comparison with Tesla, smaller than twice. Challenges on 10 with a plus, electronics are enough, as well as stock stock. With frost resistance is also normal.

Correspondent, tester

First of all, it should be noted that Nissan Leaf is not a new car. He appeared in 2009, and serially produced from 2010. During this time, the company managed to realize more than thirty thousand cars. The main sales market are countries with a warm climate and developed relevant infrastructure - America, Japan and European countries. Since in Russia there is neither the first nor the second, the LEAF is not yet officially for sale, but the representative office of Nissan Russia "specific plans for the car is not." It is noteworthy that even before the start of sales, the head office Nissan received about six thousand preliminary applications for Leaf in Japan.

Now the cost of this car in the European Union is about 35 thousand euros; For the American buyer, the price of an electric car will be significantly lower - about thirty thousand dollars, taking into account the federal and regional subsidies for electric vehicles. It is easy to guess that the price of LEAF in Russia is likely to start from one and a half million rubles.

⇡ Exterior

Describe LEAF is easy. Imagine the compactment Nissan Note with a beveled and for some reason a very small hood, a bizarre front optics and a little smashed back door. Voila, this is an electric car whose name is translated from English as "Sheet". The one that grows on the trees.

Nissan LEAF - Front view

Usually the creators of the electrocarbers want to make their cars as futuristic, unusual, outlandis. So that they instantly stand out in the stream of the same type of gasoline self-propelled carts polluting the atmosphere. Recall at least a single Renault Twizy - what is not the future? Yes, even the Sitikar BMW i3 - and it looks very original. To Leaf this does not apply, the design of the car is quite modest. Nevertheless, the attention of the thread neighbors it attracts quite often and respond to traditional questions "How much is eating? How much rusted? " We had more than once.

Nissan LEAF - Front view		Nissan Leaf - Rear View

Over the details of the details, it is quite a classic five-door hatchback class C. Dimensions of its corresponding: length almost four and a half meters, the wheelbase is focused within 2.7 meters, and the electric car reaches one and a half meters. Weighs the car, too, a lot - with a driver about 1600 kilograms. The car body is very streamlined - explicit tribute to aerodynamics.

Nissan Leaf C Open Doors

The car is quite spacious. Behind the comfortable two adults with an increase in 180 centimeters. Between them, the child will be completely sweeping, and two more can be put in the trunk. Its volume is 330 liters. The rear seats are consigned in parts, due to which the useful space can be slightly increased.

Nissan LEAF - Front Optics

A reference to the name of the car can be considered the shape of the front headlights resembling a folded sheet. The lanterns are designed in such a way that they deflect the air flow from the rear-view mirrors, which, again, has a positive effect on aerodynamics and reduces noise from the oncoming wind. In addition, the headlights are very energy efficient - they consume ten times less energy in comparison with ordinary lamps.

Nissan Leaf - Rear Optics

The only indication on the absence of C0 2 emissions are the Zero Emission lovers on the luggage and passenger doors and the blue color of the Nissan logos. Otherwise, as we said, it is an ordinary five-seater hatchback.

Unusualness we expected to see under the hood, but even here everything is quite standard. The electric motor is covered with a completely typical lid, which is why it is easy to confuse it with an internal combustion engine. Next to it is quite familiar 12-in battery. All electronics feeds from it - the central castle, overall lights and so on. So if the electrocar and "discharge", the driver will be able to open or close the car and even turn on the radio waiting for help. But the climate installation is powered by the basic battery and, accordingly, cannot be used in this case.

Nissan LEAF - under the hood

Under the bottom of the car, within the wheelbase there are lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 24 kW and a total weight of 300 kilograms. Due to them, the center of gravity of the electric car shifted down compared to gasoline "classmates". The electric motor issues a maximum of 109 horsepower and constant - available for any motor revolutions - 280 N * m torque. The Nissan representation is noticed that the "thrust" of this motor is like a three-liter gasoline V6. If you believe the digital speedometer, the electric motor speeds up the eco-friendly hatchback until the first hundreds of less than ten seconds, and the maximum speed is limited to 159 km / h. Official data is a little more modest: 11.9 seconds to 100 km / h and 145 km / h - limit.

The manufacturer assures that on one full charge of Nissan Leaf batteries is able to overcome 175 kilometers of the way. This figure must be said very conditional. The number of kilometers that can overcome the LEAF is very dependent on the style of driving, the use of climate control, terrain and age of batteries. In reality, the driver can count on 100-120 km in the usual urban stream, and lovers to play checkers on the road and adherents of the aggressive driving style will be able to discharge the electrocardist even faster. However, to acquire Leaf to drive on it, - the decision is clearly not the best. For its cost, it is possible to become the owner of a completely sports gasoline car.

Nissan Leaf - Connectors for connecting a charger

Before the hood is a hatch that hides the two connections to connect the charging devices. The one that is left is intended for the "fast" charging of the Chademo standard from DC voltage to five hundred volts; The second - from the usual outlet 220 V. When using "fast" charging, the LEAF battery is filled from 0% to 80% per half. If you feed the electrocarcar from the standard network, about nine o'clock goes to the full charging cycle. Now in Moscow there is only one network of "fast" charging stations. Its "electrostating" work, unfortunately, not always. In general, now owners of Eco-friendly cars and owners of Nissan Leaf, in particular, it is necessary to charge cars from 220 V. This can be done in the garage, in the parking lot (we, for example, have a car on the intercepting parking lot from the metro near the house), as a last resort Stretch the extension from the window into the courtyard.

⇡ In Salon

Inside LEAF is a typical Nissan. The same ergonomics, the same buttons, the same finish materials. In the cabin it is easy to see the features of the already familiar JUKE NISMO, let it be completely different cars.

Nissan Leaf - Steering

Again, there are no futuristic electrocarars here. Absolutely familiar multimedia buttons on the steering wheel, conventional windows keys, standard steering buttons and disconnect the stabilization system.

However, one feature of the eyes still clings. It is too unusual at the "Lift" selector of the Pseudo-Toroba gear. It is made in the shape of a washer. To go, you need to translate it to yourself (install in Neutral) and pull back, in "Drive". Re-transfer to Drive mode will switch the car in Eco, and if you pull it on and forward - the reversing transmission will turn on. Nissan Leaf transmission is implemented using a single-stage gearbox. Next to the selector is a manual brake lever with an electric drive.

Nissan Leaf - "Washer" of gear selection

Another attraction is the dashboard. It is completely digital here, and instead of the familiar pair of speedometer and tachometer - the stock turn and temperature indicators. At the top of the panel with the help of special "rounds" is displayed how economically the user moves onto the car. In the rest, standard information is displayed on the dashboard - the total mileage, the mileage for travel a and b, the selected movement mode, burning light, open doors, an unbounded belt and other information.

Nissan LEAF - dashboard

The digital speedometer is located above the dashboard and closer to the windshield. This position allows not to tear off the eyes from the road - a peculiar analogue of the projection of the speed data on the windshield, which we have seen from BMW 5-Series GT.

Nissan LEAF - Digital Speedometer

Near the speed is displayed, temperature on the street, turn signals and conditional (in the form of saved trees) signs of economical movement. The more modest driver rides, the more often the recuperative braking is involved - the faster new trees appear.

Nissan LEAF - driver

A touchscreen display is located on the center panel, which is controlled by multimedia functions and navigation. It also shows detailed data on energy consumption.

Nissan Leaf - Central Display

Screen oblique. It is hidden slots for the microSD memory card, navigation "flash drive" and a connector for CDs. The display is folded by pressing the OPEN / TILT button.

Nissan Leaf - Multimedian Sockets Connectors

⇡ Side computer

The onboard assistant interface is made quite friendly towards the user - you get used to it pretty quickly, and it is almost impossible to get confused in the keys. The main functions are activated using hardware buttons located on the sides of the screen, the remaining - using virtual. Unfortunately, the system is not translated into Russian, since the LEAF is not for sale.

Nissan LEAF - onboard computer interface

However, the lack of localization is only the top of the iceberg. The most unpleasant surprise was the absence of a navigation system for Russia. It would be possible to not pay attention to it if it were about a regular car - good, Stand-Alone navigators invented a long time ago. But "Lifu" without his own navigation accounts for hard. More precisely, its owner.

Perhaps the most useful section of the on-board helper is the Zero Emission menu that is responsible for power consumption. With it, you can see detailed reports on the cost and replenishment (recovery) of electricity and customize the car to a more economical mode of operation.

The corresponding section displays the power consumption of the motor and the recovery of electricity when driving or braking. It also notes how much energy goes to the climatic installation and other elements of the car. The on-board computer carefully suggests that the disconnection of the "stove" (or air conditioner - depending on the season) will increase the stroke reserve per ten or other kilometers.

Since the climate control system is quite "voracious" in terms of power consumption, the driver can set the timer so that it worked with breaks. In all the memory of the on-board computer, two climate control cards can be stored.

The car is equipped with the Carwings system, which allows you to remotely control its condition and perform a number of functions. The appropriate client application is installed on a smartphone or tablet on the Android or iOS operating system. With it, you can see the battery rate percentage, start charging them (of course, if the car is connected to the network), enable the climate system (pleasant to warm up or cool the car in advance), set timers and reminders, find the nearest stations "Hellover" and much more. Go to the Carwings system, using the usual browser

The settings menu focused on, again, recharging stations and error messages. Obviously, the manufacturer wants to avoid the situation by all means when the electrocar will be completely discharged in the middle of the road - hence such rich capabilities of "customization".

Finally, LEAF is equipped with a rear view chamber. It turns on automatically after switching to reversible transmission. The on-board computer can draw the trajectory of the movement of the car depending on the position of the steering wheel - the standard option, and again no futuristicity.

Honestly, I did not expect anything from the meeting with the Lifer. The urban 110-strong electric car for a slow ride in the right stripes in advance and known to a kilometer routes is clearly not suitable for my spontaneous and explosive (at least on the road). I did not expect anything from this car, except for the infarders of the future technologies of the future. And I was pleasantly surprised when Nissan Leaf showed me something more.

Due to the low center of gravity and constantly available 280 Newton-meters of torque, this car allows you to frolic in the urban stream and to do up to work with the breeze. Of course, it is not for "straight lines", but to play checkers - easy! For front-wheel drive Hatchback, Leaf is very well controlled and almost not cigrines in the corners at the average speeds. In general, the car rides very well. Perhaps the only implicit it - a little lack of informativeness of the steering wheel with an electric drive, he is not enough of the feedback.

In general, I liked the demo version of Nissan Leaf. Unfortunately, the real 100-130 mileage kilometers from one battery charge is a tangible limitation of freedom of movement. Yes, and if you go fast, Leaf will be asked to charge even earlier. When I made the first kilometer on it with a pedal "in the floor", the onboard computer reduced the residual reserve of the move on (attention!) Fifteen kilometers. Expected - after a conventional threshold of 70 km / h, the motor consumes energy almost with doubled power. I want to believe that the next generation batteries will allow to ride longer.

It is quite clear why Nissan does not want to sell LEAF in Russia. After all, we are accepted to go to work from one end of the city to another, standing in multi-kilometer traffic jams. Imagine - in pursuit of each potential kilometer you can not even include air conditioning in the road jam. Horror! In America, if Leaf discharged, specially trained people will come and help. And in Russia they will have to independently carry him on the tow truck in the garage or one of the few "electrodes". In general, unfortunately, we are not yet prepared for the future, and to Nissan Leaf in particular. And sorry - the car turned out good.

Love to ride ...

The joking continuation of this proverb is "love and ride" - this time not about me. I have to carry a sosaone, that is, to study the questions of the charge of the electrocar, after the colleagues ride on it.

Alas, to make a desperate act and open the country season on Leaf failed (and it was possible to try, only 50 km to the cottage, even by traffic jams, the electric car had to overcome), which means that the own garage with the outlet is unavailable to me. Editorial window on the sixth floor, apartments - on the third. But even if you decide on experiments with multi-meter extension cords - watch the car, extension cord and open windows from Vandals nine hours in a row (so much Leaf is charged from the household network) I am not ready. So, there are only two options - parking with favorable guards or the Moscow network of Revolta electrostating network.

I admit honestly, I expected to recharge the car completely free. But it was not possible to achieve the favor of the guards of the guards of the fascinating chatters about the wonderful typewriter and its characteristics, so that access to the parking place near the booth of the guards and the sockets located in it had to pay. However, quite inexpensive - the amount is equivalent to about five liters of gasoline. But the car is supervised, so I was calm for the "Device" left included in the power grid.

But an attempt to charge on the refueling network Revolta failed, and because of a completely unexpected. Let such gas stations are very few so far, but choose the nearest suitable easily with the help of the card on the site. And if you have questions about the available formats of charge connectors - polite and friendly technical support specialists will give an exhaustive recommendation. The smart card for accessing electrical stations is only 200 rubles, and for the refueling itself at most money stations and do not take at all. At points with the chademo connector, the car can be charged to 80% in just half an hour. But it was not possible to get to the electrocolone installed on the sidewalk, because of the car parked nearby. And we did not become of torture of happiness with an almost seasy battery. We continue experiments on another electrocare, but for now ... Hello, friendly guards again!

Nevertheless, the dynamic, yurt and absolutely silent Nissan Leaf liked my wife so much that we were seriously demanded to him as an option for the role of our next family car. And very quickly descended from heaven to Earth. Unfortunately, it is not yet affected by the second car for the city only for the city, but it is impossible to use as a universal vehicle with Nissan LEAF. If only because we, albeit infrequently, but still go to distances more than 150 km.

⇡ Conclusion

So for whom is LEAF? His petrol classmates usually acquire family people to travel and cottage - as one universal car for every day. Suppose, a similar "lifer" machine on an internal combustion engine costs 750 thousand rubles, while the price of the electrocarbon cannot be less than one and a half million rubles - and it is very optimistic forecasts. However, one of the competitors supplied to Russia, one of the competitors is exactly 1 million rubles, and the "right-handed" Leaf year in Vladivostok can be purchased for 600-700 thousand rubles. If you close your eyes on the lack of warranty and the right steering wheel - approximate parity with gasoline machines of the same class.

To fully charge a 24-kW battery, you have to spend about 30 kW from the power grid. If you charge LEAF only at night at the appropriate rate - 1.16 rubles per kilowatt-hour, then the cost of the complete electrobatic will be about 40 rubles. If only the daily tariff is available - 4.5 rubles, then it will have to spend about 140 rubles. Approximately the same will cost to charge the car and on a guarded car park. This is enough to drive about a hundred kilometers. To drive so much on a gasoline car, which can be filled with AI-92, with a flow rate of about 10 liters per hundred, you need to spend twice as much - about three hundred rubles.

When running 15,000 km for the year, the owner of Nissan Leaf will spend about 20 thousand for electricity. The driver of gasoline hatchback is already 50 thousand rubles. The benefit is definitely noticeable. But in the case of acquiring a new electric vehicle to knock off the difference in the cost of cars, it will take almost 10 years! And this is if you are lucky and do not have to change the batteries, the warranty period of which is five years.

Obviously, to acquire Nissan Leaf for the sake of saving fuel - not the best idea. Especially if you remember that this economy will have to pay limited daily mileage. For example, before the cottage, located 200 km from the house, it will not be easy to reach - you will have to stop for recharging, and since it is unrealistic to find a fast electric charge outside the city, the stop will take at least 4 hours. In the context of the Russian winter, the mileage will decrease even more due to a decrease in the return of the AKB and more active application of the stove.

In general, Nissan Leaf is a demo version of the technology of the future, and it is intended for secured enthusiasts, lovers of all kinds of gadgets or those who need a vehicle only to move around the city in the house - work - home. Consider it as a car for every day so far is difficult. At least here. And now.

Nissan Leaf. - The most popular serial electric car from the Japanese Concern Nissan. The official entry into the market (serial production) took place in 2010. The electrocar was represented in 2009 in Tokyo.
