OUR PICK OF THE RANGE Leaf 62kWh SV Premium
Nissan Leaf
Comfortably the most successful electric car in Ireland, the Nissan Leaf is now available with two battery sizes to suit your requirements. The regular model uses a 40kWh battery that is capable of a driving range up to 270 kilometres, though, should you need more, the newer 62kWh version can cover up to 385 kilometres on a single charge. Along with a larger capacity battery, this model’s electric motor gets a power increase to 214hp. Better driving assistance aids, such a ProPilot, enable the car to manage more of the driving in motorway

scenarios. However, better still is Nissan’s e-Pedal that helps to boost battery range and allows the driver to use only the throttle pedal. When you lift off , the car automatically slows with enough force to rarely require the use of the brake pedal. Driving aside, the cabin of the Leaf is suitably spacious. It features all the modern conveniences you would expect from such as car including optional creature comforts like heated seats and a heated steering wheel. This remains one of the best and most ‘normal’ electric cars you can buy at present.
OUR PICK OF THE RANGE Navara LE 190 manual
Nissan Juke
The all-new Nissan Juke keeps with the original’s radical styling, though it is likely to be far less polarising than its hugely successful predecessor. Nissan listened carefully to its customers when designing this version, giving it more boot space (now 422 litres) and using higher quality materials inside. Rear passenger space now gets a slight boost to head- and knee room, too. In a bid to simplify its range, the Juke now comes with just one engine - a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol unit - with 117hp and the choice of a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic front-wheel-drive transmission. The driving experience retains a sporty nature, but Nissan has also managed to increase the sense of refi nement when on the move. While this segment of the market is now jam-packed with choice, Nissan has edged ahead of much of the competition with this second-generation Juke.

Nissan Navara
Available as both a pure commercial vehicle and one of those one-tonne pick-up trucks that so appeals to civilian buyers, the Nissan Navara Mk3 (launched in 2014) is a leading light in its class – so much so that the Mercedes-Benz X-Class has been spun off its underpinnings. In double-cab form, which is the only version private buyers can pick up, it has a USP in this segment, which is multilink rear suspension for a fi ner unladen ride. A solitary 2.3-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine is off ered as motive power, with either 160- or 190hp, and the Navara has just been treated to a mild facelift for the 2020 model year. A stout workhorse and reasonably luxury conveyance all in one package, the Navara is at its best in higher specifi cations with the more potent engine, where it makes an intriguing alternative to a full SUV. Avoid the CVT, though.
