Production of the previous car ended in March this year, and while the firm has yet to confirm a launch date for its successor, it is understood to have begun production trials in summer and could be
ready to build the new car as early as spring 2025. The firm has previously given an indication of what to expect from the next Leaf with the Chill Out concept - a sleek, minimalist compact SUV touting high levels of digital functionality and advanced autonomous driving capabilities.
The production version looks to remain true to the concept’s overall silhouette – clearly aero-optimised in a bid to maximise range – though seems to sit closer to the ground and with more conventional LED light signatures at each end, rather than digital graphics.The Scenic can be had with either a 60kWh or 87kWh battery – for official ranges of 260 or 379 miles, respectively – and a choice of either a 168bhp or 215bhp motor on the front axle.
It remains to be seen if Nissan will equip the Leaf with an optional second motor on the rear axle, as it does for the Ariya e-Force, which produces up to 389bhp in standard form or 429bhp in tuned-up Nismo guise. It’s expected to be a close match for the Ariya inside, too, with a minimalist dashboard topped by a wraparound digital interface and a row of haptic buttons in the dashboard for the climate control.
