Since its debut in 2010, the nissan LEAF has sold close to 700,000 units worldwide, earning its place in history as the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle. The all-new third generation model marks the start of a new chapter for this famous nameplate, having been re-designed and re-engineered to meet the needs of modern EV customers, while remaining true to its innovative roots.
Proudly built in Britain, at nissan’s world-class EV manufacturing facility in Sunderland, it boasts a sharp new look, integrated technology and a host of new driver assistance features.
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.

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.
