Second-generation Leaf’s slow reveal continues
On the 6th of September, Nissan will unveil its all-new electric Leaf. Until then, info snippets about the car are being divulged via an obligatory teaser campaign.
The latest release is a silhouette shot, which suggests a lower-profile design compared to the current Leaf. According to Nissan, this benefits the aerodynamics, high-speed stability and behaviour in crosswinds. Showroom appeal is likely to improve too if the styling is more attractive.
Some technological advances have also been announced. Among them is ProPILOT, a semi-autonomous driving system that can control acceleration, braking and steering when travelling within a single lane.
One genuinely innovative device is called e-Pedal. Although a proper brake pedal is fitted, when e-Pedal is activated the accelerator alone is used to control speed and bring the Leaf to a complete halt. Such a strange arrangement might struggle to win acceptance, but anybody with dodgem car experience should be fine.
Understandably the details that prospective customers really want to know – namely battery capacity, range and recharge times – haven't been disclosed yet.
