An EV of today should not have a "drivetunnel" taking footspace from the rear floor – that simply does not make much sense – There must be a way to solve that better or?.
I have absolutely nothing against EV´s even being a long time car fan, but I am slightly surprised that Matt like this car so much – Luggage space and system was not solved particular well, that high ridge from the seats. He did not at any point get even close to the range promised and a few other details – okay all cars have something good and bad, but with EV´s the main turning point, meaning people converting from combustion engine to electric have been range anxiety – So at least one should expect that to be reasonable close to estimated, making a very valid salespoint.
Personally I do not like the design much, mainly due to these very large front wheel overhangs – I do not like that in any car, it weakens the stance – and here again I really wonder, like with the "drivetunnel", why the layout has been designed that way when the platform is all electric. Surely it will not take many years before much more efficient designs on EV platforms will hit the main stream market. When it is selling that well one should somehow expect a larger step forward from Nissan and a next generation Leaf. In my opinion a Zoe is a much better looking car, its not the same segment, but the design language is far more charming and contained and the same goes for Tesla model 3.
