New Nissan Leaf<\/p><\/div>\n

Following months of leaks and speculation Nissan finally revealed their eagerly awaited new Leaf writes Geraldine Herbert<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. With a more sleek and aerodynamic\u00a0 exterior the Leaf is not as radical a design change as the new Micra but it\u2019s certainly a big improvement on the previous version.<\/li>\n
  2. New to the Leaf is the e-Pedal allowing the car to be driven with just one pedal. The e-Pedal handles starting, accelerating, decelerating, and stopping.<\/li>\n
  3. Thanks to a bigger 40 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery the range has been extended to an official 378 Km which probably represents a realistic 280 kilometres on a single electric charge but falls short of the Renault Zoe\u2019s 300 km range.<\/li>\n
  4. Nissan has said it will release a more powerful version of the Leaf in 2018.<\/li>\n
  5. Prices for the new model are expected to increase. The current model starts at \u20ac21,490 for the 24kHh version and \u20ac24,490 for the 30kWh.<\/li>\n
  6. The new Leaf is roughly the same size as before but manages to be slightly longer, wider and lower.<\/li>\n
  7. The Leaf also offers ProPilot Assist, Nissan’s lane-centering intelligent cruise control.<\/li>\n
  8. Inside there is an all-new dashboard along with a new a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system incorporating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.<\/li>\n
  9. More than 283,000 Leaf cars have been bought since it launched in 2010, making it the world’s best selling battery electric car.<\/li>\n
  10. Expect to see the new Leaf on sale in dealerships around the country from February 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
