The bestselling Nissan LEAF is five years old this model year and the automaker is celebrating its innovation and success with even more updates to the popular car, including a new battery pack that increases the hatchback’s all-electric driving range.
The 2016 LEAF’s new powertrain now consists of a 30kWh battery that increases the car’s driving range to over 107 miles. That’s a 27 percent increase over last year’s model and a telling marker of Nissan’ dedication to EV technology. Since the debut and success of the LEAF, Nissan has continued its commitment to developing zero-emission cars, as well as to ongoing public education and practical applications in everyday life.
“EV technology will continue to be at the heart of Nissan’s product development efforts,” said Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “By combining our pioneering EV technologies and other intelligence and innovations, Nissan is moving closer to a zero-emission future for car transportation. With the technologies we are creating, mobility is becoming safer, cleaner, more connected and more exciting. That’s the power of innovation. And that’s what you can expect from Nissan."
