After walking what has seemed miles, from one large hall, to another, and back again. It has been an interesting and useful day in Paris. Many new cars have had their Premieres, and it is difficult to pick a winner – but the NosMoke has to be up there, for its pure cheekiness, and being so clever. Using a very British iconic design, the NosMoke EV costs €16,000and with a full charge goes up to 100km with a top speed of 70km/h. It looks just like the real thing!
The design of the all-new Nissan Micra might be a bit of a shock for current Micra Drivers. It’s not only full of technology but longer, sleeker and very modern with Nissan saying it represents a “complete redefinition of what Micra means”. Presented by brand CEO Carlos Ghosn, this is definitely a good looking supermini and is expected to raise expectations of what a supermini is capable of.
The Audi Q5 certainly attracted a lot of attention with its huge grille similar in size to the Q7. Compared to the older Q5, it’s about the same size but incorporates better packaging with more rear leg room and boot space.
