It’s official; the all-new 2018 Nissan Leaf will make its debut on September 6, according to Nissan. To go along with the announcement, the company released a new teaser image of the electric vehicle (EV) to join the ones from before.
Here we get to see the Leaf’s new face, specifically the “mesh” for the V-motion grille. It’s already clear that the new car will look totally different from its predecessor, and will likely see the nose-mounted charging inlet being done away with, positioned somewhere else.
In other areas, the Leaf will come with sharper-looking headlights and more aggressive styling inspired by the latest Micra, as well as the IDS Concept. The interior is expected to be overhauled for a new one as well.
Nissan hasn’t revealed any information about the new Leaf’s all-electric powertrain, but it is rumoured to offer significantly more range than its predecessor thanks to larger battery packs. On today’s Leaf, the highest-spec version only comes with a 30 kW lithium-ion battery pack.
Another new feature in the 2018 Leaf is the adoption of Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist driver-assistance technology, allowing the car to drive itself during single-lane driving.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This car should be brought in and tax free in malaysia.
But still nobody wants it. Cuz limited range & no RV.
All EV’s & PHEV’s should be 100% tax free regardless CBU or CKD. Manufacturers need the support to help them progress faster towards producing more affordable cars in future. Without the economy of scale it will take a much longer time for that to happen.
250km range? Cant even get u to JB.
Only ppl with no brains would give such komen. ^
So when ur gonna invent wormhole to get this 250km range car past 300km?
MAI sleeping on job, no charging stations along NSE.
Nanti certain pipu bash gov for subsidising rich pipu playthings. So how leh?
Saw on NHK program that the new leaf has a petrol motor to charge the battery. Not sure if that’s a production model or just a concept car though.
That is range extender, not full EV like current gen leaf.
Go go ETCM! Superb driver-assistance tech!
At superb cut throat prices. Just wait and see.
I would buy a Leaf if I had 180k spare change. It suit my purposes well. Unfortunately, I don’t have the 180k spare change.
Banks have spare change.
