The new Nissan LEAF
The new LEAF replaces the first-generation model, which is the world’s best-selling electric vehicle. More than 283,000 customers have chosen a LEAF since its launch in 2010.
The new LEAF raises the bar in the growing mainstream electric vehicle segment thanks to the inclusion of ProPILOT autonomous drive technology and ProPILOT Park technology, the e-Pedal, increased power, greater range, and improved refinement, comfort and convenience.
ProPILOT Park
The
newly-developed
ProPILOT
Park
assists
the
driver
to
park
in
three
easy
steps
by
controlling
the
steering,
accelerator,
brakes,
gear
shift
and
even
the
parking
brake.
This
advanced
automated
parking
system
can
recognize
the
type
of
parking
space
and
guide
the
car
into
front
or
back-in
parking
spots,
as
well
as
parallel
park.
e-Pedal
The
e-Pedal
allows
the
driver
to
start,
accelerate,
decelerate
and
stop
using
only
the
accelerator
pedal.
For
instant
acceleration,
press
down
hard
on
the
accelerator
pedal.
Lift
off
the
pedal
and
the
e-Pedal
mimics
stepping
on
the
brake
pedal,
allowing
the
vehicle
to
slow
down
and
even
come
to
a
complete
stop.
In
stop-and-go
city
traffic,
the
e-Pedal
greatly
reduces
the
need
to
shift
from
one
pedal
to
the
other,
making
driving
simpler
and
more
engaging.
It
even
allows
sporty
driving
on
winding
roads,
making
the
process
of
driving
more
exciting.
Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion Battery
Lithium-ion
batteries
have
higher
energy
densities
than
lead-acid
batteries
or
nickel-metal
hydride
batteries,
so
it
is
possible
to
make
the
battery
size
smaller
than
others.
The
latest
Nissan
LEAF
battery
uses
materials
which
can
store
a
higher
density
of
lithium-ion
meaning
our
customers
can
drive
an
even
greater
distance.
e-Powertrain
The
e-Powertrain
powers
our
EVs
and
removes
the
need
for
an
internal
combustion
engine.
It
is
a
lightweight,
compact
system
that
produces
extremely
low
vibrations
and
generates
instant
torque.
These
elements
combine
to
deliver
a
high
quality,
smooth
and
very
responsive
drive.
The
e-Powertrain’s
key
components
are
its
inverter,
high-power
electric
motor,
reduction
drive
and
power
delivery
module
(PDM).
The
unit
was
developed
to
thrive
in
a
range
environments
around
the
world,
displaying
high
performance
and
high
durability
in
all
of
them.
