Nissan today introduced the new Nissan LEAF, the next evolution of its zero-emission electric vehicle.<\/p>\n
The Nissan LEAF has been completely reinvented, combining greater range with a dynamic new design and advanced technologies, which represent Nissan\u2019s technological leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new Nissan LEAF drives Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which is the core brand strategy for Nissan\u2019s future,\u201d said Hiroto Saikawa, president and chief executive officer of Nissan. \u201cThe new Nissan LEAF, with its improved autonomy range, combined with the evolution of autonomous drive technology, such as ProPILOT Park, and the simple operation of the e-Pedal, strengthens Nissan\u2019s EV leadership, as well as the expansion of EVs globally. It also has core strengths that will be embodied by future Nissan models.\u201d <\/p>\n

The most advanced e-powertrain<\/p>\n
The new Nissan LEAF offers a range of 400 km (Japan JC08 cycle**), allowing drivers to enjoy a safer and longer journey. The new e-powertrain gives the new Nissan LEAF 110 kW of power output and 320 Nm of torque, improving acceleration and driver enjoyment.<\/p>\n
Evolved autonomous drive technologies <\/p>\n
The new LEAF adapts ProPILOT autonomous drive technology, used during single-lane driving on the highway. <\/p>\n
It also offers ProPILOT Park. When activated, the car\u2019s ProPILOT Park technology takes control of steering, acceleration, braking, shift changing and the parking brake to automatically guide it into a parking spot. It enables a driver to park, including parallel park, safely with a simple operation.<\/p>\n

e-Pedal to reduce driver\u2019s stress<\/p>\n
The new LEAF\u2019s revolutionary e-Pedal technology transforms the way people drive. It lets drivers start, accelerate, decelerate and stop by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, bringing the car to a complete stop. The car holds its position, even on steep uphill slopes, until the accelerator is pressed again. The reactiveness of the e-Pedal maximizes EV driving pleasure.<\/p>\n
Exterior design: sleek silhouette and \u201ccool tech attitude\u201d<\/p>\n
The new Nissan LEAF\u2019s design includes a low, sleek profile that gives it a sharp, dynamic look. Along with excellent aerodynamics, the styling \u2013 from the sleek silhouette to the car\u2019s \u201cadvanced expression\u201d \u2013 evokes the exhilaration of driving an EV. <\/p>\n
Familiar Nissan design features include the signature boomerang-shaped lamps and V-motion flow in the front. The flash-surface grille in clear blue and the rear bumper\u2019s blue molding emphasize its identity as a Nissan EV.<\/p>\n
Interior design: premium ambience with a clean, relaxed, high-tech feeling<\/p>\n
The new Nissan LEAF\u2019s completely redesigned cabin is focused on the driver, featuring a front panel in the form of a \u201cgliding wing.\u201d It combines an excellent use of space with functionality.<\/p>\n
The interior design creates a relaxed ambience and premium quality feel, due to carefully selected materials. Vibrant blue stitching in the seats, dashboard and steering wheel has been incorporated as a symbol of Nissan\u2019s electric vehicles. The 7-inch, full-color (TFT) display has been redesigned to highlight key features, such as the Safety Shield technology power gauge and audio and navigation system information. Apple CarPlay has also been added.<\/p>\n
For customers who want more excitement and performance, Nissan will also offer a higher power, longer range version at a higher price in 2018 (timing may vary by market). The new Nissan LEAF will go on sale Oct. 2 in Japan. The model is slated for deliveries in January 2018 in the U.S., Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n
New Nissan LEAF price in Japan starts from JPY3,150,360.<\/p>\n
