Next-Generation Nissan LEAF Spotted Testing in the U.S., Showcasing a Crossover-Inspired Design

[jrswick]

While I don't doubt that it's more aerodynamic, I am personally offended that anyone would call this design "sleek" or claim that it's more stylish than a hatchback. It is another "fat coupe" like the Tesla Model Y. If that floats your boat that's cool, but I hope that traditional hatchbacks stay on the market in some form. I like small cars but sometimes need extra interior space... in other words a hatchback.

My opinion, the hatchback looks more stylish & works well with the golf clubs. I couldn't do the same with a sedan style, especially in my volunteer work, the hatchback is a definate plus.

That is huge. IMO, it is no longer a Leaf - a branch ? - although we see this with each new generation of car typically becoming bigger than the previous.

Maybe it's the 3 billions inches wheels that make it look fat?
