The road to our house floods quite often so having a Nissan Leaf that has a wading depth of up to 700mm is quite attractive!
That’s Land Rover territory, very impressive.

After having a Renault Zoe (2 of as of the start of the year) since 2017 we decided to switch out our Diesel VW camper for the Enyaq (plus towbar and trailer and inflatable tent) this summer. Sooooooo different driving vs. the VW. Even a big difference between the Enyaq and the Zoe. Love the way the Enyaq in D will coast then brake automatically as you come to a junction. Never use B mode now, unlike in the Zoe. It has no sense of location and will not slow down in D - coasts for miles. Brown trouser time when you get to the junction and remember you need to brake! So I drive the Zoe in B which is different again.
Really like the Zoe - better than the VW to drive all day long. For a little nipper, it’s a perfect drive. But much prefer the Enyaq.

Lol I don't think I have ever driven a Merc come to think of it. That handbrake system sounds pretty eccentric. I know the Honda CRV (at least the version I drove) has a foot activated 'hand' brake but it is deactivated using the same pedal.
