Nissan introduces the LEAF10, a special edition of the popular all-electric car, to celebrate 10 successful years of sales as the first mass-market EV.
The LEAF10 enhances the model’s impressive suite of technologies, featuring in-car Wi-Fi that is ideal for families and those on the move, plus new connected services. The latest special version boasts the award-winning ProPILOT, new Intelligent Rear View Mirror, and e-Pedal technologies, offering an engaging electrified driving experience. Since LEAF launched in 2010, Nissan has continued to evolve its EV technology, connected services and design to ensure it delivers on the demands and lifestyles of owners.
Two driving functions provide energy regeneration in the Nissan LEAF. The Nissan LEAF e-Pedal allows the driver to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal. The e-Pedal helps the car to harvest energy via regenerative braking. This works by recycling the energy from the movement of the car during braking or deceleration, which then goes straight back to the batteries, where it is used to recharge them. Meanwhile, B-mode is a driving function that regenerates energy under braking, with drivers using the traditional brake pedal as normal.
LEAF10 is available with Nissan’s in-Car Wi-Fi hotspot providing in-built 4G connectivity for up to seven devices. This functionality compliments the range of utilities on the NissanConnect Services smartphone app, which allows owners to control key features remotely – such as monitoring the battery charge level and locking or unlocking their vehicle to accept deliveries. Drivers will also be able to enjoy a comfortable commute, with the ability to pre-heat their LEAF for their journey.
Available from this month, the new special edition Leaf10 starts at around £28,820 OTR
