The all-new 2019 Nissan LEAF falls into place with a new design

The all-new 2019 Nissan LEAF falls into place with a new design Nissan just revealed the second-generation of its iconic LEAF electric vehicle so you can hug trees as you drive by.
What’s going on?
Following many teasers and spy shots, Nissan finally revealed the next-generation LEAF for the world to see in Las Vegas.
Carrying the EV torch for the Japanese automaker for a new model, the 2018 LEAF promises many improvements over the previous model. This includes better battery performance and more tech.
Looking somewhat like a sleeker Chevrolet Bolt, the second-gen LEAF follows Nissan’s new design philosophy. Within that new design, which takes on the appearance of a more traditional hatchback, Nissan boasts roominess and lots of new advanced telematics systems.
“When we launched LEAF in 2010, it instantly became the most affordable, mass market EV in the world. We are not walking away from that proposition,” said Jose Muñoz, Nissan North America, Inc. Chief Performance Officer. “The value equation for the new LEAF is even stronger than ever before – beginning with a starting MSRP1 under $30,000. That’s a lower price than the LEAF in market today and it includes more power, range and technology, all wrapped in a beautiful new exterior and interior design.”













































What’s new?
The 2018 Nissan LEAF is said to offer a 150-mile total driving range. That’s 43 miles more than the outgoing mode’s 107-mile range. This is accomplished thanks to a new innovative “e-Pedal.” At the flick of a switch, drivers can turn the accelerator into a unified stop and go pedal. It’s the first of its kind, allowing the driver to decelerate and even bring the car to a complete halt, even on hills. It’s believed to improve performance efficiency while in traffic as well.
Advancing in tech is Nissan’s new ProPILOT Assist, which includes a range of semi-autonomous functions, along with lots of passive and active safety gear.
And all this tech can be had for less than $30,000 in all 50 states.
Full details aren’t yet available. Such information is expected to surface in the near future.
The 2018 Nissan LEAF is scheduled to launch in early 2018.
