Nissan has showcased the all-new third generation Leaf, which is set to go on sale in the autumn.

At the car’s official unveiling, Nissan said it is ushering in a new chapter for the Leaf, which has been re-designed and re-engineered to meet the needs of modern EV customers, while remaining true to its innovative roots.
The body has been designed to maximise aerodynamics, while the interior benefits interior space and passenger comfort.
The interior features dual 14.3-inch displays, powered by a Google-based operating system. While it has a minimalist layout, there are still physical controls for the climate settings and audio system.
Under the skin, the Leaf sits on the same platform as the Nissan Ariya.
Two versions will be available: Standard and Extended. The Leaf Standard has a 52kWh battery and can cover up to 270 miles between charges. The Leaf Extended uses a 75kWh battery and has a 375-mile range.
DC fast charging is supported at up to 150kW, enabling a 260-mile range boost in 30 minutes.
Intelligent battery thermal management ensures fast, consistent charging in a range of temperatures, and now works in tandem with the In-Car Route Planner by Google Maps to automatically set the battery at the optimal temperature when approaching a fast charger, optimising both charging speed and efficiency.
Nissan claims the integrated Google system also helps solve the hassle of planning long journeys by automatically identifying the most convenient charging stops along the way.
More details, prices and specs will be available when the Leaf is available to order in the autumn.
