Unveiling the secrets of the Nissan LEAF

Nissan Nissan LEAF Electric EV
The Nissan LEAF made its debut on August 1, 2009, as the world's first mass-market electric vehicle with zero emissions.

Nissan made a significant impact with the introduction of the LEAF, earning a series of esteemed accolades such as ‘European Car of the Year 2011,’ ‘World Car of the Year 2011,’ and ‘Japan Car of the Year 2011-2012.’ In October 2017, Nissan introduced the 2018 model year LEAF, featuring enhancements such as increased range, greater power, and the inclusion of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The LEAF received a facelift for the 2023 model year, which is the current version available now.

When the LEAF was introduced in 2010, many were skeptical about the potential of electric cars as the future of transportation. However, nearly all manufacturers now provide at least one electric vehicle in their lineup.

In 2024, Nissan has sold over 1 million across the world with Europe contributing an impressive 320,000 towards this figure.

 

What can I expect from the current Nissan LEAF?

The 2024 Nissan LEAF features sleek, aerodynamic lines, a unique floating roof, and the signature V-Motion grille, all of which contribute to its sophisticated appearance that reflects the advanced technology within. It also offers an impressive range of up to 168 miles, along with faster and more convenient charging options than ever before, making it an ideal time to switch to electric. Experience the thrill of driving an electric car as you benefit from immediate, smooth torque the moment you press the accelerator.

The Nissan LEAF is equipped with Intelligent Mobility features that enhance your sense of connection, confidence, and control. This technology increases your awareness of the road ahead and provides assistance when you need it most, reducing driving stress and allowing you to concentrate on your journey.

Nissan ProPILOT supports you by handling some of your daily driving tasks with just the push of a button, providing you with an extra set of eyes and a gentle helping hand. It allows you to maintain a preset distance from the vehicle in front, stop and start again with the flow of traffic, while also assisting you in staying centered in your lane.

Concerned about navigating tight parking spots? With ProPILOT Park, featured on Tekna grades, your Nissan LEAF effortlessly maneuvers into your chosen space by managing the steering, accelerator, and brakes. The Nissan LEAF can even identify an available spot; simply select it and let the vehicle take care of the rest!

The introduction of e-Pedal driving provides an immediate surge of power when pressed, and simply easing off will slow the vehicle down. Remarkably, this feature can even keep your car stationary on a hill without needing to touch the pedals! You still have the option to use the brake pedal in the usual way whenever you need to regain control.

With the Nissan LEAF, you have the option to customise your display according to your driving preferences. You can select from the following features:

  • Power Meter and Range: This displays essential information about your range, battery level, and power usage.
  • Charge Time: At a quick glance, you can easily check your battery's charge level.
  • Navigation: Simply enter your destination to receive turn-by-turn directions right in front of you.
  • Trip Computer: Track the distance you've travelled, energy consumption, average speed, and more.
  • Energy Economy: Keep an eye on your energy usage and range to better understand your driving habits.
