No, I wouldn't call it ahead of its time. It was just different. If it was ahead, then it had features that became common later, which wasn't really true.

Kind of. It was pretty standard tech, but the styling was futuristic. It was less about being advanced and more about being advanced looking.

In some ways, yes. On Indian roads, a tight turning circle was a game changer. In other areas, however, it was impractical, such as in maintenance.

It was a mixed bag. The design was revolutionary, forward thinking, but the reliability problems kept it from being truly revolutionary.

Ahead of its time? Perhaps in looks but not in practicality. What Indian consumers wanted was not fancy designs but sturdy, easy to maintain cars.

It was perfectly timed, just not executed well. The idea was right, the sportier, more modern car, but the implementation wasn't very suited for India.
How did the Standard Herald’s unique design affect or hinder its own popularity in India?

Its popularity was definitely hurt by the unique design. During those days most Indians preferred familiar conservative designs. The Herald was just too much.

I think it helped initially. It stood out and was noticed, which any new car needs. Maintenance and reliability were the problems that came later.

Both. But the design appealed to younger buyers and pushed away older, more traditional customers who were often the decision makers in families.

07 January 2025 09:55
Hurt, for sure. Such a radical design was not yet ready for India. Practical, not flashy was what people wanted.

In metros it helped, in smaller cities it hurt. The modern design was appreciated by urban folks, rural areas found it too alien.

It was a double edged sword design. It made people talk about it but also made them afraid to buy. Sales doesn’t always follow curiosity.

I'd say it ultimately hurt. But soon the novelty wore off and people found it not to be as practical as the traditional designs for Indian conditions.
Is the Nissan LEAF future proofed by CHAdeMO charging standard?
06 January 2025 08:13
It's definitely a concern. I’ve seen fewer CHAdeMO chargers installed in my vicinity and CCS is all over the place. In the future, this might limit what road trip options could have and become a serious issue.
Is the Nissan LEAF future proofed by CHAdeMO charging standard?
06 January 2025 08:13
Not really an issue for me. Most of the time I charge at home, and there are still lots of CHAdeMO chargers out there for the occasional road trip. Adapters are also becoming available, plus.
Is the Nissan LEAF future proofed by CHAdeMO charging standard?

If you’re buying new, that’s a big deal, but for used LEAFs, the price difference usually offsets it. But just plan your charging needs accordingly.
Is the Nissan LEAF future proofed by CHAdeMO charging standard?
06 January 2025 08:13
I think it's overblown. CHAdeMO is not going away anytime soon as Japan still heavily uses it. And, many charging stations still feature both standards.
Is the Nissan LEAF future proofed by CHAdeMO charging standard?
06 January 2025 08:13
It’s a valid concern, but it’s not a deal breaker. Home charging is going to be more important for most LEAF owners because the LEAF's range isn't really designed for a lot of road trips.
Is the N Line i20’s performance worth its extra cash over the standard i20?
02 January 2025 11:14
Absolutely worth it! If nothing else, the turbo engine and stiffer suspension turns the driving experience. It's another car entirely.
Is the N Line i20’s performance worth its extra cash over the standard i20?
02 January 2025 11:14
Not really. In daily driving, the performance difference isn’t that noticeable. You're paying more for badges and more red accents.
