Nissan celebrates 10 years of sales with new EV

Nissan has launched a new electric vehicle (EV) to celebrate 10 years since the first mass-market electric car. 

The new LEAF10 vehicle, which will be available in UK dealerships later this month, has a variety of new technologies, including in-car Wi-Fi and ProPilot, a new Intelligent Rear View Mirror. 

Customers can choose from two body colours, standard black metallic, or two-tone grey and black. In homage to the Japanese history, the vehicle has also been embellished with a Kumiko pattern on the wing mirrors, roof and boot lid.

The vehicle also has a variety of safety features for extra peace-of-mind, owners can set alerts to ensure their vehicle stays within the limits — whether that is a pre-defined location or within a certain speed.

Helen Perry, chief marketing manager of Electric Passenger Cars & Infrastructure at Nissan Europe, said: ‘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.

‘Our iconic model has attracted over 180,000 motorists across Europe. We hope that with its enhanced styling features and latest technologies such as In-Car Wi-Fi and its remote functions including lock and unlock capabilities to receive packages; LEAF can continue to excite those who are just starting their EV journey. ‘

The Nissan LEAF10 starts from £28,820 (including the Plug-in Car Grant).
