Priced at $49,990* plus on road costs – making it one of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market – the new, zero tailpipe emission Nissan LEAF embodies Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company's approach to changing the way cars are driven, powered and integrated into society. The three key aspects of Nissan Intelligent Mobility exemplified by the new Nissan LEAF are Nissan Intelligent Driving, Nissan Intelligent Power and Nissan Intelligent Integration.
Available in a single high-spec grade, new Nissan LEAF has a contemporary exterior and interior design. It comes with an 8-inch touchscreen display, 7-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display, satellite navigation, a heated steering wheel, heated front and rear leather-accented^ seats and space for five.
Nissan LEAF also features e-Pedal. e-Pedal allows drivers to start, accelerate, decelerate, stop and hold the car by using the accelerator pedal alone without needing to use the brakes. It also features an Auto-Hold function.
It is also well appointed when it comes to safety. Awarded a maximum 5 star safety rating by the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), the zero tailpipe emission Nissan LEAF scored an impressive 93 per cent in ANCAP's adult occupant protection test, 85 per cent for child occupant protection and 71 per cent in the vulnerable road user protection test. It also scored well (70 per cent) in the safety assist category thanks to its range of active safety technologies
Backing these results, new Nissan LEAF comes with a variety of advanced safety features including Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning as standard equipment.
It also features Intelligent Around-View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent Driver Alert, front and rear parking sensors, six SRS airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control with Traction Control System, ISOFIX and three top tether child restraint anchor points.
Range and Charging
Ensuring range anxiety is reduced considerably, the new Nissan LEAF has a driving range of 315km1 (NEDC ADR 81/02 combined cycle) and a 270km indicative driving range (European WLTP combined cycle). With most city-based Australians driving a low 38kms a day, Nissan LEAF will satisfy the daily driving needs for the majority of buyers.
While you can fully charge LEAF within 24 hours using a standard home wall socket, the time drops to 7.5 hours if the household has the latest 7kW home charger3. You can also plug your LEAF into a CHAdeMO rapid charger and get from alert to 80 per cent charge in around 60 minutes depending on charging conditions4.
