Check the driving performance in the city!It's big but you can run quietly

First of all, I drove in the Eco -mode in the city.What I immediately felt was the quietness that seemed to be the same as a large displacement SUV.It seems to be natural because there is no vibration caused by the engine, but the control of the engine for power generation is different from the notebook E-POWER and the Serena e-Power, and it seems that the engine does not start much at around 35 km / h.On the other hand, the engine starts when the speed is increased, but I do not mind because the road noise increases.Therefore, it feels like the quietness is improving.

The next surprise is "lightness".The suspension is slightly harder, combined with the thickness of the motor drive, and the compact body, it is fun to drive in the city, leading to a good ride on highways.On the other hand, when you step on Cats Eye, the whole body shakes greatly.

Normal mode.It is said that it is suitable for driving the highway

In addition to the eco mode, the manner mode that runs only with full electricity is turned on

The one-pedal operation of the kick is the impression that the movement is mild or smooth than the past E-POWER car.In the past, the moment I released the accelerator pedal, I felt like it was sloppy, but in the kick, it slowed down and stopped without getting like that.Basically, the eco -mode is sufficient for city riding and cruising on highway, but when you go uphill on the pass, you may feel a lack of power.At that time, if you set it to S mode, you will climb Gungun.

It seems that the propylot is operating and cruising

On the highway, it supports the handle operation in addition to the accelerator, which helps cruising in the same lane.

Speaking of Nissan cars in recent years, the driving support on the highway is widely known.Handsoffs like Skyline Hybrids are not possible, but they are also mounted on kicks.Since it can be set to up to 135 km/h, it can be fully corresponded to the new Tomei maximum speed of 120km/h.

Immediately after using it, the sense of stability was not much different, but I felt that the intervening feeling was weakened compared to the conventional propirot vehicles.Also, it seems that the gap between completely letting go of the steering wheel and the warning came out.This is an imagination, but if the intervening feeling is stronger, the driver will think that it can be left to the car, so it would have been changed to a weak setting.

The fuel economy you care about is 16 on a test drive that combines the expressway and the general road..5km/liter.By the way, it is a regular gasoline -compatible car, so it seems that the economy is not bad.

What you want from SUVs is different, but if you want two points, "luggage loading" and "quietness," kicks are one that responds to expectations.Above all, the good run that makes you think it's fun to drive is more attractive than other SUVs.If you are considering SUVs, we strongly recommend that you touch the kick.
