Nissan Newbird: Sentra EV hybrid
It’s a Bluebird! No, it’s a Newbird! How can it be new If it’s 36 years old? Ah, well, look under the bonnet. That’s new.
Putting electric powertrains into old cars is not new, but the Newbird is more than some automotive fun. It tells the story of a factory that came full circle. The Sunderland factory was built in the ‘80s and the very first vehicle to roll off the assembly line in 1986 was the Nissan Bluebird, what we know as the Sentra. To commemorate their 36-years of building cars, the folks at Sunderland took their first car – the Bluebird – and gave it the powertrain of their latest car – the Nissan LEAF.

Nissan LEAF e+
The Nissan LEAF e+ has scored the maximum five-star rating in the Green NCAP. NCAP stands for New Car Assessment Programme and most of us know it as a crash test, where they see how much a dummy will survive various kinds of impact. So how does that square with the Green NCAP? Does it measure what happens if you drive into a tree?
No, the Green NCAP measures how environmentally friendly a car is. It uses both laboratory and real-world driving tests to determine a car’s green credentials, measuring fuel and/or energy efficiency and emissions.

The Next Nissan LEAF Will Be A Crossover From 2025

The Nissan LEAF will become a crossover in 2025
This should get me kicked out of the writer’s guild, but cannot be resisted. Nissan is turning over a new LEAF. Oof.
Actually, there is a lot here. The Nissan LEAF, in its various generations and updates, has been with us since 2010. It was the world’s first affordable EV and best seller in this segment until quite recently. But the sedan and hatchback have since slipped out of favour and, to move with the trend, the next-gen LEAF will be a crossover/small SUV. This car will be based on the Alliance modular CMF-EV platform.
