As the world’s first affordable, zero-emission car, the LEAF kicked off a whole new era of car shopping. MA Nissan fans can look out for the next Nissan LEAF to arrive later this fal!
MA Nissan shoppers should know that it’s not stopping there. Several additional Nissan and Infiniti electric vehicles already announced or in development and the LEAF will continue to receive improvements on its already great platform.
As MA Nissan fans know, the Nissan LEAF is a medium-size hatchback with the capability of driving 100 miles on one full charge. The LEAF is powered by a lithium-ion battery composed of 48 compact modules and a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor generating 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. The LEAF’s powertrain has no tailpipe, so releases no emission of CO2 or other greenhouse gases while being driven.
To make it as efficient as possible, the LEAF was designed with efficiency in mind both inside and out, yet offers all the practical and convenience features needed. A rear spoiler, flat underbody with rear diffuser and aerodynamically shaped LED taillights optimize both style and efficiency. The LEAF sports a roomy interior for a 
vehicle its size, too.
