Nissan’s second-generation Leaf has been spotted
with minimal camouflage, giving us a first taste of what to expect from the
world’s second best-selling EV. Covered by a thin film that doesn’t really
cover that much, the new Nissan Leaf looks clearly inspired by the 2015 IDS
Concept.
The new Nissan Leaf features a much more acceptable design that
even gets a fake front grille in a bid to make it more appealing to customers.
Nissan is reportedly planning to offer the new 2018
Leaf with at least two different battery packs: an entry-level 40kWh and a
60kWh lithium-ion, with the latter providing a range up to 547 km on
a single charge.
Nissan will also make their Tesla Model 3 and
Chevrolet Bolt rival compatible with the fast 150kW charging stations, reducing
the time needed for a full recharge. Nissan has also confirmed with a teaser
that the new Leaf will feature the company’s latest ProPilot semi-autonomous
systems that are offered in the Qashqai and X-Trail models among others.
Nissan is planning to reveal the all-new Leaf at
Tokyo on September 6, just ahead of the car’s public debut at the Frankfurt
Motor Show.
