Nissan gives a fresh glow to the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle with LEAF 2022, with the iconic model offering more eye-catching style and innovative technology.
LEAF 2022 receives a refreshed exterior design, from intricate detailing to striking alloy wheel options – offering customers a dynamic aesthetic in line with Nissan’s new brand identity.
A refinement of the highly successful LEAF, the model 2022 also provides a tried-and-tested suite of advanced driving assistance features such as ProPILOT, and infotainment technologies such as the on-board NissanConnect system.
The LEAF 2022 lands in Europe this April, building expectation as Nissan prepares for a strong product offensive with a fully electrified line-up offering after the summer.
“The Nissan LEAF has always been about making advanced technology and the thrill of electric driving accessible to everyone with over 577,000 customers worldwide. LEAF has been designed around families’ needs to offer seamless connectivity and an efficient powertrain,” said Arnaud Charpentier, Region Vice President, Product Strategy and Pricing, Nissan AMIEO region.
Dynamic and electrifying design
From the wheels up, LEAF 2022 introduces intricate exterior styling refinements, enhancing the dynamism of the model’s distinctive appearance. The model also features Nissan’s new brand logo on the wheels, front grille and rear.
New 16- and 17-inch alloy wheel options bring an increased element of sportiness, with a slick black fascia enhancing their premium feel.
Customers also benefit from a refreshed line-up of exterior colours, from the sleek to the bold and energetic. Joining a range of six monotone colours and five two-tone options, two new hues are available after its success on iconic models like Qashqai and Ariya: Universal Blue with a rich and mature tone, and Magnetic Blue that brings an enhanced sense of vibrancy to the model.
An engaging and connected driving experience
