The best-selling electric car of all time has been completely reworked, combining greater range with a new design as well advanced technologies. New ProPilot Assist and e-Pedal technologies are expected to make driving more enjoyable, while helping enhance safety. e-Pedal lets drivers start, accelerate, decelerate and stop by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, bringing the car to a complete stop. The car holds its position, even on steep uphill slopes, until the accelerator is pressed again. The Leaf offers a range of 241 kilometres, allowing drivers to enjoy longer journeys than the previous-generation model. The e-powertrain is rated at 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, providing improved acceleration.
