Nissan Leaf with the latest Tech call Tesla Killer

At last, it achieved 400 km/h.

Nissan Leaf that first appeared in the world as mass production type EV.

The cruise distance doubles achieves 400 km/h

Finally reaching the range, 400 km/h. Since the first leaf started at 200 km/h initially, it has evolved to double in fact. This is achieved by installing a newly developed 40 kWh battery, not only increased battery capacity but also achieved by densifying with the same volume as the conventional battery. The speed of rapid charging has also increased and it is safe even on the road.

Battery installation position is mid ship just like the first generation, so light handling can be enjoyed as it is.

Power up by 37.5%

Motor increased from the original 80 kW (109 horsepower) / 254 Nm to 110 kW (150 horsepower) / 320 Nm by 37.5% for horsepower and 26% for torque . It is EV which sells aggressively quick acceleration compared to the internal combustion engine, but it will further show acceleration of departure of the sporty car.

Furthermore, it is to be a luxury car anymore because it has achieved quietness without sinking in a luxury foreign car by optimizing the structure and adding sound insulation materials.

One-pedal driving feeling is the future

One pedal operation from acceleration to stop with accelerator pedal ON and OFF, e-Pedal realizes a new sense that has never existed. The function close to this is already implemented by notebook e - Power which generates electricity with the engine and drives with the motor, but it evolved more than that. The deceleration is increased to 0.2 G, and if it is on about the go and stops in town, it is said that you can manipulate at will with an accelerator pedal. By the way, the engine brake of the engine car is about 0.05 G. It looks like they will offer fun for new driving.

Fully automated tandem forward rearward parking

The intelligent cruise control function which automatically follows the preceding car, the driving support function professional pilot which carries out the automatic cutting of the steering wheel so as to read the lane within the same lane is mounted on the intelligent cruise control function. Even with long-distance high-speed traveling, the range of 400 km/h can be further utilized with this.

The main feature is the automatic parking function!

Not only parallel parking but also forward, backward and freely. This is safe for users who are not good at parking and will be hit by parking.

This is realized by high-performance sonar that was arranged in 12 places in total, four at the front, the left side, the right side, the rear, four each of the cameras, and four at the front, the rear, and the side. With this digital system, automatically controlling the surroundings of the vehicle, steering, accelerator/brake, shift and parking brake.

It Maybe a Tesla Killer?

Here recently Tesla was conspicuous in EV, automatic driving, but the reef is the best in actual shipment quantity. With the realization of Tesla's automatic driving skills and long range, the leaf has realized and surpassed it, and it is honorary recovery at once. Moreover, Price is become affordable.

There was a performance model in Tesla, but this leaf is scheduled to be lineup this time. Motor and battery are modeled to be enhanced and coming soon.

Tesla seems to be an American car and it is too large, not less than 2 m wide, but the Nissan Leaf has a length of 4.48 m, a width of 1.79 m and a height of 1.54 m which is compatible with general tower parking.

It was running fast and breaking new leaf!
