While electric vehicles do not stop taking off in some markets like ours basically because neither the infrastructure is up, and the battery life is sufficient -in Spain EVs only account for 1% of total sales, Nissan returns to improve the position of your LEAF with a new battery of 30kWh much more performance, practice and increased to 250 km, a much more respectable autonomy.
Since its launch in 2010, Nissan sold 46,000 units in Europe and almost 200,000 worldwide, so the LEAF has become the best selling in the world and according to the brand electric vehicle, a 92% customers are satisfied with your purchase, recommend 96% and 50% never return to traditional combustion engines. In addition, the range of electric is present in 31 European markets and has since 2012 with the Nissan e-NV200-in of passenger and commercial version, a model manufactured in the plant that the firm has in Barcelona exclusively for all the world.
And yes, many estaréis mulling over the issue of autonomy, however, Nissan's effort to offer solutions is palpable. The Japanese brand has already installed in Europe a total of 2,308 points fast recharge (aim to reach 5,500 for 2020) and called for a greater effort to governments to achieve in Spain what already happens in other countries like Norway, where government and citizens have turned to electric mobility.
We, to test the skills of the new Nissan LEAF we have moved to Nice (France), where urban traffic and 1,607 meters at the Col de Turini is will allow us to discover both the versatility of the model in various environments as the great possibilities of your new battery Is the new Nissan LEAF achieve conquer?
Unlike other electric models on the market, the Nissan LEAF is not a car or a conventional hybrid car that will have replaced the combustion engine by an electric motor. This is a planned vehicle from "0" to be a 100% electric vehicle production and carried by a large company.
The compact electric Nissan is within what we call C segment and can say that offers the same space, equipment and security than any of its rivals combustion models, for increased autonomy does not affect the size of the battery, which keeps the same dimensions as the previous version of 24 kWh (still available).
The curious and risky LEAF exterior design speaks for itself and we anticipate that it is a different car that subtly away from the characteristic design of Nissan. The front aspect is characterized by the V-shape of the bonnet highlighted by bulging headlights with LED technology (Tekna finishing) that take center stage. They also feature a reflective inner structure in blue in a way that benefits the tone of light projectors, giving a bluish tint to it and making driving at night more relaxed.
Moreover, it does not take an expert to see that the front of the LEAF lacks elements such as the radiator grille or is more curved than other vehicles design. This is because the LEAF has a different mechanics and its main goal is to be efficient and environmentally friendly, trying to improve aerodynamics to the maximum, thus improving fuel consumption and greater autonomy. As is the case in previous generations, after the flagship brand making recharging the battery is located.
The shape of the front bumper and the hood is designed to redirect airflow away from the door mirrors, thus achieving both reduce the noise generated by the wind and air resistance. Additionally, the front window has a slant ending in a curved roof also facilitates airflow.
Seen in profile, the LEAF has a really smooth surfaces and a stylized door handles. The clean design complements side in our test unit with efficient and renovated design alloy wheels with 5-spoke semioscurecidas riding EnaSave tires Dunlop 215/50 R17 EC300 in action.
At the rear, the car features a lower diffuser and a large rear spoiler; while the updated taillights have a shape that allows shaping air flows leaving the vehicle, further reducing aerodynamic penetration. Although at first glance may seem normal headlights, we have to say that contribute to energy saving, consuming 50% of the electricity they need a conventional lights.
In the cockpit, the LEAF is a car as practical as the rest of the segment. The model has four large doors with an opening angle that facilitates the input and output and enough space for five passengers, although the high central tunnel will slightly annoying the way for the occupant of the central plaza.
The trunk is not a reference in the C segment, but 100% electric has a not inconsiderable 370 -355 liters liter Tekna- finish. With the seats folded, load volume gives LEAF is extended to 912 liters, although the loading surface is not flat to have under the lithium battery from the vehicle electrical system. In its favor, however, we note that the tailgate, framed by the distinctive pilots (with brake lights and LED technology), down to bumper level to facilitate access to the trunk.
The dark colors used in the interior give the LEAF great elegance that contrasts with technological console in glossy black finish. While it is true, the materials used are mostly hard plastic-60% of them reciclados-, but these are so pleasant to the touch and sight and convey the feeling of being on board a car with semi-finished premium .
Additionally, if you need to purchase some of the car parts, you could search at Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you the low prices. Such as, ute tail lights, universal car aerial, etc.
