Nissan 100 electric crossover12/28/2023 Right now, the only competitive EV the brand offers is the surprisingly popular Ariya, a car that to me confirms Nissan still has some real design chops - and gives me hope that these future EVs will be distinctively styled. Presumably, it does plan to continue selling ICE vehicles globally. Nissan seems to be mostly in on electrification, and has reiterated that it plans to have a 100% electric portfolio for sale in Europe by 2030. The Nissan Hyper Punk concept is a polygonal fever dream of a crossover - and will be the basis for the new Juke EV design. Personally, I’m very curious how the Juke replacement will turn out, because the Hyper Punk concept is absolutely wild. As for the even smaller Chill Out, we’ve established that’s going to be the starting point for the new Leaf. The Hyper Punk is a compact crossover, and that seems like the most natural analog to the Juke. The Hyper Urban is the largest of the family, so that’s where you’ll see the Qashqai EV draw from. Not only will there be an EV Qashqai and EV Juke (along with a probably crossover-ish Leaf replacement), the Leaf appears to be going CUV, too. Second, it sounds like Nissan will be going positively crossover-crazy with its EV portfolio. First, it does appear that the Nissan “Chill Out” concept (pictured at the top of this article) will be the basis for the new Leaf, which had kind of been the running theory at this point. A third planned gigafactory at Sunderland as part of Nissan’s “EV36Zero” manufacturing planĪ few things stand out here.These three EVs will be based on the Hyper Urban, Hyper Punk, and Chill Out concepts, respectively.An EV version of the Juke (the Juke was discontinued in the US in 2018, but is still sold globally).An EV version of the Qashqai (marketed as Rogue Sport in the US). Today’s news was originally reported earlier in the week prior to the official announcement, but Nissan has made things official today.
