Nissan has unveiled a revised version of its electric Leaf hatchback, which brings a new look and additional detailing to the popular EV.
Launched in 2011, the Leaf was the first true mass-market EV and for some years remained the most popular electric car on the market. The second-generation version launched in late 2017, giving customers more interior space and technology, and to date more than 550,000 Nissan Leaf models have been produced.
This update isn’t a facelift as such, but gives customers a new look thanks to a range of updated 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels, while new gloss black treatment helps to give the model a sportier look.
Two new colours are also offered – Pearl Blue and Magnetic Blue – both of which have proven popular on other Nissan models in recent years. Nissan’s updated logo makes its debut on the Leaf too.
Like before, the Leaf will be offered with two battery options – 40kWh and 62kWh – with the latter offering an electric range of up to 239 miles. The model’s well-known ProPilot semi-autonomous driver assistance technology remains as standard across much of the range too.
Arnaud Charpentier, of Nissan, said: “As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to grow, Nissan is pursuing an exhilarating chapter in its electric mobility story. Leaf has played a key role in shaping Nissan’s vision for empowering mobility and beyond, as we leverage our EV expertise to launch 23 new electrified models – including 15 full EVs – by fiscal year 2030.”
The updated Nissan Leaf is set to go on sale in Europe in April with prices starting from £26,995, including the government grant.
