Nissan announces today that its all-new, British-built LEAF electric vehicle will qualify for the UK government’s £3,750 Electric Car Grant.
With a range of up to 386 miles on a single charge, the new LEAF 75kWh model will be priced from £32,249, with production scheduled to start in Sunderland in December. First customer deliveries are planned for February.
As Nissan’s most aerodynamic production car to date, the car offers enhanced charging speeds and a suite of technologies to make driving easier and EV ownership more rewarding, including Google Built-In, which gives access to Google Maps without a phone, plus app and game downloads from Google Play.
The 75kWh battery option gives drivers confidence thanks to real-world autonomy that’s amongst the best in the segment. The 75kWh version features a range of up to 269 miles at 70 mph on the highway and an energy consumption as low as 4.5 miles/kWh, ensuring longer journeys can be accomplished with fewer charging stops. When you do need to plug in, Nissan LEAF supports 150kW DC fast charging, recovering up to 273 miles in just 30 minutes.
At the heart of the Nissan LEAF is a refined electric motor delivering clean and responsive levels of performance: 160kw (215hp) of power and 355Nm of torque propel the car from 0 to 62mph in 7.6 seconds (Sport Mode / 75kWh battery). In short, the all-new LEAF ensures effortless driving with maximum efficiency.
