Nissan’s electric vehicle range – which includes the Ariya, Leaf and Micra plus Townstar van – boasts NissanConnect functionality, a technology that enables remote access to a wide array of vehicle features such as battery state of charge, car location charging history and control of the cabin temperature.
Elodie Sawruk, product manager at Nissan GB, said,“UK winters can be tough for motorists, with slippery roads, dark evenings and weeks of gloomy weather to endure before spring arrives. Happily, however, Nissan EV owners will never have to get into a chilly car to commence a journey, even during the bitterest cold snap.” Sawruk continued, “Our NissanConnect technology with its associated smartphone app, can warm up a car’s cabin before the driver and any passengers set off – as well as defrost the windows to ensure maximum safety on the road ahead.
“Equally, should we be lucky enough to experience any summer heatwaves in future, the interior can be cooled down remotely too,” Sawruk added.
NissanConnect services are a key part of the Nissan EV range. In addition to the remote functionality, while on board, owners can make calls, stream music, plan trips, connect with smart home devices, message contacts and control vehicle functions through voice control to ensure safe driving and exceptional ease of use. These models are also available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
