LEAF Dimming Panoramic Roof
Want to enjoy an open, airy feeling of a glass roof without excessive cabin heat? Now you can!
The sense of openness provided by a glass roof during a drive is truly exceptional. However, with conventional glass roofs, sunlight can heat up the interior, leading to discomfort and increased use of air conditioning.
This is where the LEAF's Dimming Panoramic Roof makes a difference. It offers both high heat-insulation performance and a spacious, open feeling.
To reduce concerns about battery depletion caused by air conditioning — an issue unique to electric vehicles — we focused on enhancing the roof's heat-shielding capabilities.
Dimming Panoramic Roof qualities
1. High heat-insulation performance
Two coatings — Infrared reflective and radiant heat reduction — significantly reduce the impact of sunlight and heat from outside.
2. Electronic dimming shade
Eliminates the need for a mechanical sunshade on the roof, freeing up headroom and improving cabin comfort.
Nissan's passion for quality
Driven by engineers' desire for drivers to enjoy a feeling of openness and comfort without worrying about battery drain from air conditioning, Nissan developed this innovative electronic dimmable glass roof.
We dedicated six years to perfecting the dimming function, insulation performance and vehicle integration, balancing high heat-shielding ability with the thinness of the glass roof to achieve the best possible product.
As a result, the LEAF's dimmable panoramic glass roof has improved the Solar Heat Gain rate (Tts) by 28% compared to conventional glass roofs, achieving world-leading quality.
