Today, Nissan presented in Geneva the new Nissan Leaf with a new 30 kWh battery that offers greater autonomy (250km) although this has affected its interior roominess.
Available with Acenta and Tekna finishes, maintains exactly the same interior dimensions as the previous version of 24 kWh. The weight has increased by only 21kg. The result of these improvements is a car that reaches significantly further with the same convenience and ease of use than previous versions.
The introduction of carbon, nitrogen and magnesium in the electrodes has improved the performance, and the redesign of the cells has helped to get the new autonomy. The improvements allow Nissan to expand the battery warranty to eight years or 160,000 km.
