Arnold bedankt! I was “helping” my wife to find a replacement car. We were finding it very difficult. This car however seemed to tick all the boxes and your review covered all the points that are important for us. So we took a test drive and I would agree with all of your findings. So now we just ordered a new one! We went for the midrange Connecta mostly for 17 inch wheels, but also added the heated pack and safety packs. It is now very highly equipped indeed. The car was extremely easy and intuitive to drive and we liked all the physical buttons which are exactly where you expect them to be. It will also be her first automaat, finally. Many thanks 😊
Its a great car, very nice design. Started to look around for this brand. Specially the Kiiro version of Nissan Juke is kinda unique and standing out among other cars. But not sure its still available or nit! Great video!
@@Carnold_YT That's a good thing - I see some actually have 10 - 15kWh of battery. I was actually toying with the idea of putting a generator/alternator on my old ICE engine to add some energy and take it away when braking. I believe up to 5kW can be pushed through the alternator belt, so I figured I can make a very weak hybrid by attaching one of the 48V / 2kW DC motors I have that I could press into service (+ converters to top up the 12V starter battery).but it is a lot of work with unknown results, so I haven't started this project...yet.
That's an interesting idea. Starter-generators are common in mild hybrids, but the also require a strong belt and high belt tension. Maybe you can find something at the scrapyard?
@@Carnold_YT I figured since the standard alternator can deliver 80 amps at 12V (960W), I would just stretch the friendship a little and put 2kW though it. But yes, a dual pulley arrangement would be a better idea.
@@MiniLuv-1984 if you don't have a garage full of instruments and you don't do regularly different car modifications don't even think about it. You will lose a lot of time for a shitty result.

1.2kWh battery? That won't get you very far without having to run the petrol engine.
That's true, and it's true for a lot of hybrids. However, the electric assist really helps to bring the fuel consumption down.
