The new Nissan LEAF e+ has arrived in Australia, acting as an exciting new flagship model in the LEAF electric vehicle range by delivering more power, faster acceleration and an increased driving range between charges.
The "e+" in its name refers to the increased energy density of the model's battery pack and the higher output of its powertrain. The new powertrain adds to the car's range by more than 40 per cent, while unlocking quicker acceleration and faster charging capability.
Now featuring a 62kWh battery, the LEAF e+ sits at the pinnacle of the LEAF range, featuring advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology, and delivering a thrilling 160kW of performance and a WLTP driving range of up to 385km2.
The e+ is more LEAF
With an additional 22kWh of energy storage when compared with the LEAF, the newly- developed 62kWh battery pack in the LEAF e+ offers 55 per cent more capacity and an approximate 25 per cent improvement in energy density while retaining a similar shape and size to the 40kWh LEAF battery pack; all without compromising the vehicle's exterior design and interior space.
Less time charging, more time driving
Thanks to the new 100kW peak Quick Charging system, the Nissan LEAF e+ can charge more efficiently than ever. Nissan LEAF e+ owners can charge from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes5, despite a 55% larger battery storage capacity.
