We are optimistic that the Nissan LEAF EV will help our customers to live a smarter, safer and sustainable life,” says Sandeep Kumar Sharda, Managing Director, Pioneer Moto Corp Pvt. Ltd - sole distributor of Nissan and Datsun in Nepal.

The Nissan LEAF EV exemplifies this philosophy in three key aspects: Intelligent Power, Intelligent Driving, and Intelligent Integration.

As an embodiment of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the Nissan LEAF has a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery that has a range of up to 311 kilometres on a full charge as per the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standards. Powering the Nissan LEAF is a revolutionary, all-electric e-powertrain with a maximum output of 110kW or 150ps and 320 Nm of instant torque.

And charging the Nissan LEAF is convenient as owners are provided with multiple charging options. The Nissan LEAF can be fully powered up in 15 to 18 hours at home through a dedicated wall outlet with the supplied universal charging cable. Owners can also go to quick charging stations found in select Nissan dealerships nationwide and power up the EV to a full charge in 40 to 60 minutes.

Nissan LEAF also introduces e-Pedal which allows drivers to start, accelerate, decelerate, and stop using just one pedal by increasing or decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. When the accelerator is fully released, regenerative and friction brakes are applied automatically, which brings the car to a complete stop.

The four-wheeler is also packed with intelligent driving assistance which includes Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent around View Monitor, High Beam Assist, and Hill Start Assist. It also features Intelligent Emergency Braking, Intelligent Driver Alertness, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and Intelligent Trace Control to help ensure the safety of both the driver and passengers.

Nissan LEAF comes with a sleek design starting with the two-tone body and its iconic floating roof. It comes in 11 colour options where the customers can choose between six single-tone or five dual-tone colour options. Inside, it features a spacious seating for five.

The Nissan LEAF comes with a 3-year vehicle warranty or for the first 100,000 kilometres (whichever comes first) and also with an 8-year battery warranty or for the first 160,000 kilometres.
