2013新车抢先看

2013特斯拉Model S

竞争对手：日产聆风

    2011年汽车业最令人失望的就是电动汽车，因为最早吃螃蟹的那批消费者发现，它们的续航里程比广告上宣称的数字短了不少。2012年是否会有所不同呢？几周前，特斯拉公司（Tesla）推出了四门电动汽车Model S，20分钟的试驾让记者们惊叹不已。不过现在特斯拉已经尝到了做量产的艰难。特斯拉已经把今年第三季度的产量砍掉了一半，以集中精力修复质量问题。与此同时，日产（Nissan）正准备把聆风（Leaf）电动车的产量提高到每年15万台。日产CEO卡洛斯•高森在聆风身上押了很大的赌注，不太可能会让它失败。

优势方：聆风

2013 Tesla Model S

The competition: Nissan Leaf

    Electric-powered vehicles were one of 2011's big disappointments, as early adopters struggled with cruising ranges that were more abbreviated than advertised. Will 2012 be different? Tesla launched its four-door model S with appropriate hullabaloo a few weeks ago, wooing journalists with 20-minute test drives. Now it is learning about mass production the hard way, slashing its third-quarter output by half to fix quality problems. Meanwhile, Nissan is getting ready to sharply boost output of the Leaf to 150,000 a year along with the batteries that power it. Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has staked his legacy on Leaf and isn't likely to let it fail.

Advantage: Leaf
