I came across this article...

https://www.motor1.com/news/551400/niss ... hev-spied/

... which is allegedly featuring the e-Power variant in testing:

... but it got me thinking:

"If this is just the e-Power being tested why is there so much "disguise" on the car?"


Image


Is the e-Power version going to have lots of blue or green "electric-signalling" trim added? ...


Image


... or does this point to an early facelift?

Interesting points to ponder on:

A] Note the possible badge on the front door?

B] This appears to be a colour-flip paint !!!!! :)

I've been keeping an eye on electric cars. I've noticed most electric models have slightly different styling to their petrol/diesel counterparts, maybe the J12 will be the same?

Yes, that’s a great colour.

Hopefully Nissan will be able to fulfil their current J12 orders first for the customers who have been patiently waiting for several months! ;)
