Partners feedback
Intuitive
and simple
to operate
vehicle
Better
exterior
than interior
Good
performance
and
acceleration
Even on
snow the
car behave
very well !
Simplify
dashboard (not
always easy to
use/understand)
Good PC but
maybe a van
would be more
appropriate for
us
Car size is too
big (for our
current use)
 Chance to test-drive the vehicle on a long loan, to really test it with local
facilities constraints, drivers profiles and daily use
 No time and budget spent for fuel: real savings for our office
 If you want to buy it, the car itself is still expensive
 Zero noise: can be appreciated … or not!
 No problem with the range…in fact
 Type (segment) of vehicle not matching our needs
 Discovery of EV ‘side effects’: increased safety, attitude change toward ‘eco
driving’
 Dashboard not that intuitive, you need to ‘interprete’ the (too many)
information (does not match our needs)
 Created great interest among our employees and visitors
 Conveyed positive messages on our own objectives in term of CO2 emission
reduction, pollution control and budget constraints
NISSAN GROUP STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
