Nissan Motor launched the all-new third-generation LEAF. The new LEAF benefits from more than 15 years of real-world insights gained through global sales of nearly 700,000 units. The all-new LEAF offers a substantially increased maximum range, enhanced charging speed and a technology suite that makes daily driving easier.

The all-new LEAF is targeted to arrive at dealers across the United States from autumn, with other regions to follow.

The all-new, 3-in-1 EV powertrain with an integrated motor, inverter and reducer is 10% smaller than its predecessor and features Nissan’s unique motor control, which enhances refinement. The new motor, paired with a new, high-rigidity motor-mount bracket, supports a 75% reduction in motor vibration compared to the outgoing model.

For select regions, newly available Intelligent Distance Control Assist helps intuitively maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front while driving in city traffic and also optimizes regenerative braking.

The all-new LEAF is available with two liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery options, both of which offer thermal conditioning functionality. Select models are powered by batteries with 52 kWh of usable capacity, supporting an output of 130 kW and 345 nm of torque. Larger 75 kWh batteries are also available, providing 160 kW and 355 N·m of torque.

An enhanced thermal recovery and management system harvests heat created by the onboard charger (OBC) to warm up the battery, increasing its regeneration potential in cold weather. Additionally, on applicable grades a new intelligent navigation-linked thermal conditioning function optimizes battery cooling based on the selected drive route.

In the US, select grades featuring the 75 kWh battery are estimated to deliver a maximum range of up to 303 miles. Customers in the US and Canada also benefit from the convenience of a North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, allowing them to charge at Tesla Supercharger locations. When connected to a fast charger, owners can replenish 10-80% of their charge in as little as 35 minutes.

An available Intelligent Route Planner also enhances EV ownership by providing real-time route information, state of charge and identification of convenient charging stations.

The all-new LEAF features a comprehensive suite of advanced and innovative driver assist technologies to make daily driving easier and more intuitive. These include an available 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor, Invisible Hood View and Front Wide View functionality.

For select grades in the US, two 120V outlets are available: one for the cabin and the other for the cargo area. The outlets can discharge up to 1500W of combined power, allowing owners to power a variety of small to medium-size devices when enjoying outdoor adventures such as camping.

Additionally, an available V2L accessory adapter can connect to the external charging port to support convenient charging of devices outside of the vehicle.

In Japan, the all-new LEAF will continue its ability to deliver Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) functionality. This allows it to supply electricity back to a home or receive solar generated energy when connected to a home energy management system, enabling users to power household appliances or charge devices using the energy stored in the vehicle's battery.

Specifically for Europe, the all-new LEAF is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) compatible, such that in the future it will be able to send stored energy back to the power grid. This function will help customers reduce energy costs while supporting a more stable and sustainable energy system.

The all-new, third generation Nissan LEAF will be assembled at the Tochigi Plant in Japan, as well as at Nissan's production facility in Sunderland, northeast England.

Further details including pricing will be provided closer to the start of sales in each respective market.
