Orders for new Nissan Leaf surpass 10,000 in Europe

Nissan has launched an online reservation system for New LEAF as pre-orders pass 10,000 across Europe.

As European orders for the all-new 2018 Nissan LEAF charge past 10,000 in just two months, Nissan has launched a new online reservation tool that will assist with ordering the new LEAF.

The digital ordering system (https://www.nissan.co.uk/experience-nissan/start-your-order-leaf/welcom…) lets customers place an order for a New LEAF – currently limited to 2.ZERO special versions – in just a few clicks and takes around two minutes to do. A customer’s preferred dealer will then contact them to finalise the order.

The all-new Nissan LEAF delivers significant updates over the previous model with dynamic new styling, advanced technologies – including ProPILOT – and a higher capacity 40kWh battery.

On top of these improvements, there’s a 50 per cent increase in range to 235 miles (NEDC) and a 38 per cent increase in power to 150PS, compared with the previous 30kWh version.

Carl Bayliss, EV category manager, Nissan Motor (GB), said; ‘Since 2011, the Nissan LEAF has proved that all-electric driving can be both practical and affordable for thousands of UK motorists. Now the new 2018 Nissan LEAF is the world’s most advanced mass-market electric vehicle and icon of Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility vision.”

The New LEAF is also the first Nissan model in Europe to be equipped with Nissan’s autonomous ProPILOT technology and e-Pedal, which allows drivers to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop – simply by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator.

Nissan will announce full range pricing for the next generation of the world’s best-selling electric vehicle in early January 2018 with first customer deliveries beginning in February.
