Using ‘Green initiative’ is always a good excuse for cost cutting. 😄

Just like buying hybrid or electric cars in SG. The cleaner they are, the more expensive they are.

Hmm… the emergency parking braking cannot be disable, only the autohold feature (once stop in D/R, it will hold brake for u) can be disable.

of course ... EV or Hybrid is a "premium" ... at least for now and for the next 5-10 years

one side ... we should pay less for going green

another side ... we must pay more (premium) for supporting green (just like organic food is sure more ex right)

aberthen ...

EV is upfront pay more.  It will even out over time as mileage increases.

Low mileage users will suffer.

ICE is upfront pay low.  It will increase over time as mileage increases.

Low mileage users will benefit with lower usage.

EV will not take off within these few years till our infrastructure is ready. It is only for the rich who can install their own charging station at home. 
The so called ‘Green Initiative’ here is simply unfair taxing on petrol users. That’s the trade-off for owning a car here. 😂

Nissan so called e-Power EV cars are burning petrol to produce electricity to their batt which in turn power the electric motor to drive the car. 
Smart way to jump onboard the EV bandwidth to market their cars as electric cars!!! Good marketing strategy to make pple feel good about saving the environment BUT you still need to pump petrol!!!! So much for same 15k rebate as the golf8!!! 😆

Nissan EV cars for the not so rich pple who cannot install a charging station at home.

The Life model came with 17in while the Life Plus come with 18in Bridgestone Turanza.
Booked the Life model initially during May pre-launched, but decided to top-up after seeing the nicer headlamps, taillamps & 18” rims on launch day.

Still same same except for the aesthetics. 😃

[Jest1081]

Ahhh yesss. 18 inches, share the love la bro. Some pics!!!

@Jest1081 we got the same specs but different color 😄 ours is primacy 4? i may change it to PS4

I saw the difference in the tailights but not the front.. is there a big difference on how the headlights look like between life and life plus?

[Ghostshellz]

Can see the diff below. Showroom display for Golf Life and R-Line. No display for Life Plus. 
 

[Ghostshellz]

Life Plus display model during Launch in May  but it was sold subsequently. 
 

All the 3 models showcase to entice new golf 8 owners? 😄

[Kensuke]

Ok, I cannot see the difference when Im in the car.. self consolation 🤣

I was also wondering what the difference between LED and LED plus was.

After a lot of searching in foreign language forums, I finally managed to get pictures.

This is the regular LED

This the LED plus

 

For comparison, this is the iQ.Matrix LED (which we don't get here anyway)

[Jest1081]

@Kensuke ahaha when yours arriving bro? Mine wk 35. We chg together? Maybe can get better deal! 🤭🤭🤭

[Kensuke]

@Jest1081 week 37.. u change first 😄

[Ghostshellz]

Golf Life headlamps and taillamps. 
 

Our Life Plus and R-Line headlamps are actually IQ Matrix LED
