The new Nissan LEAF: raising the bar for electric vehicles

Today Nissan introduced the new Nissan LEAF, the next evolution of its zero-emission electric vehicle.
 
The Nissan LEAF has been completely reinvented, combining greater range with a dynamic new design and advanced technologies*, representing Nissan’s technological leadership.
 
“The new Nissan LEAF drives Nissan Intelligent Mobility, which is the core brand strategy for Nissan’s future,” said Hiroto Saikawa, president and chief executive officer of Nissan. “The new Nissan LEAF, with its improved range, combined with the evolution of autonomous drive technology such as ProPILOT Park, and the simple operation of the e-Pedal, strengthens Nissan’s EV leadership as well as the expansion of EVs globally. It also has core strengths that will be embodied by future Nissan models.”
 
The most advanced e-powertrain
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.
 
Evolved autonomous drive technologies
The new LEAF features ProPILOT autonomous drive technology, used during single-lane driving on the highway.
 
It also offers ProPILOT Park. When activated, the car’s 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 the driver to park safely and simply, even when parallel parking.
 
 
* Level of equipment and list of technologies may vary depending on the market. Information provided in this release is relevant to the Japanese market.
** 150 miles with EPA, 380 km with NEDC, both subject to homologation.
